One of the best localities within a fair distance of New York for ruffed grouse 

 shooting is called the Cannape. It is a large extent of wild territory situated 

 on the northeast corner of ulster County. Take Hudson River Railroad for 

 Kingston, which connects with the Ulster and Delaware Railroad to ^:hokan, 

 which is seventeen miles. The distance from Shokan to Watson Hollow is seven 

 miles. Stop over night at C. Rockwell's, who will give every information and 

 send a guide or go himself. This country is quite unknown to the sportsmen, as 

 we firmly believe. There has never been a breech-loader or a setter within its 

 limits. The scenery is grand in the extreme, and the berries which the ruffed 

 grouse feed on, are very abundant. This territory is also noted for its deep 

 mountain gorge, at the head of which is a beautiful lake, the head waters of the 

 Bushkill creek. It has two outlets, one emptying into the Esopus creek, and 

 the other in a directly opposite quarter, into the Susquehanna.
