SHOOTING DATA 



321 



The following data for a shooting trip may serve as

 obtained for about ;^5oo, and over forty different

I will conclude by reiterating my firm conviction 

 that, as nowadays there is no dearth of candidates for

 mendations of those who are in a position to form an 

 opinion as to their suitability, but should also have 

 passed some low standard in the language of the 



people among whom they are to serve ; have acquired
