CONCLUSION. 115 



was not physically strong enough to undergo the fatigue 

 and hardships of stalking ; that his hobby was shooting 

 driven deer, and in order to indulge in this five or six 

 days a week for six weeks in succession it was clearly 

 necessary to have an extent of ground so vast, that 

 virtually the deer could not be driven off it. Looking 

 at the matter in this light, the writer sees no reason 

 why Mr. Winans should not be left in peace to enjoy 

 himself in his own way, and he certainly pays very 

 liberally for all the ground he rents. 



And now, reader, to wish you good sport, coupling 

 it with the hope that this little essay on a somewhat 

 difficult subject to handle may prove both useful and 

 interesting interesting enough to while away a sleep- 

 less night in the Limited Mail, and useful enough to 

 help you in securing a " royal " or two to grace your 

 dining-room, and give you something to remember with 

 pleasure, when your eyes in after years turn affection- 

 ately to the stuffed heads ; when perhaps anno domini 

 may have you in his clutches ; when the hill may no 

 longer be climbed, and the spy-glass and rifle have 

 ceased to see active service, and are kept but to be 

 looked at. 



THE END.
