GENUINE SPORT.

r)eforc returning to Shore I had another successful day at 

 'doral, killing one of two animals I shot at right and left. 



Gooral-stalking in the precipitous and broken ground on 

 Ik; middle ranges, is perhaps the pleasantest, though not the 

 ;i andest, kind of mountain sport. The amount of stiff climb- 

 iio- it entails is quite enough to give it zest without making 

 I excessively laborious. The sportsman can generally return 

 n his tent to rest during the heat of the day, whilst the gooral 

 IV doing likewise, hidden away among the shady recesses of 

 lie rocks, and he can always get back at night to a comfort- 

 ble bed. Moreover, in a good locality, one seldom has to 

 core the toilsome blank days that are not uncommon on the 

 il)per ranges, and are frequent, I may say, beyond them, on 

 lie bleak dreary uplands of Tibet. After the experience of 

 nmting every sort of Himalayan game, my own predilection 

 or this kind of shooting may be deduced from the fact of my 

 iiuling sixty gooral recorded in my Himalayan game-register, 

 s having been fairly stalked and shot with the rifle, which, 

 \ith the numbers I lost and missed, represent many a day's 

 .enuine sport after these game little animals.
