American Variations ii 



Definiteness as to the present. If I were to 

 picture the future, I should describe the notable 

 recent increase of preserves, some of exclusive 

 ownership, some of leased privileges over farm 

 lands, and make the deduction that fifty years will 

 extend over America something closely resembling 

 the British condition. But there will be other 

 books on sporting dogs to tell that other story 

 when the time comes.
