momentary distinction in the world of sport, and while 

 the latter vanity may be somewhat explainable in the 

 beginner who has had his imagination fired by the deeds of 

 others, it is excusable in none. The judicious conservation 

 of wild game in any country is the duty of those who govern,

 fishing, and travelling in the Southern and Northern 

 Islands, he can then proceed to Sydney in time to enjoy the
