that they pursue, and the closer a man's habits 

 of observation the more speedily will he be- 

 come a good hunter. 



In this volume will be found the draft of the 

 new constitution, authorized at the club's an- 

 nual meeting to be submitted for ratification 

 at the coming one. The changes made in this 

 are chiefly in the direction of raising the 

 standard of the qualifications for membership, 

 and in more sharply defining the position 

 taken by the club in matters of sport. Such 

 changes cannot fail to appeal to most mem- 

 bers, who will recognize that the Boo..e and 

 Crockett Club cannot take too high ground 

 in relation to all matters pertaining to its 

 objects.
