Young County — 



Belknap. All this northern part of Texas, embracing both the Cross Timbers 

 as a centre, and flanked by extensive prairies on the east and west, and abound- 

 ing in game (in their places and season), hold out their peculiar charms, and 

 invite the sportsman to the tented field. When acorns and other mast are plenty, 

 and have fallen, then in the open woods, the sportsman will find deer, ducks, 

 geese, and turkeys abundant, quail and rabbits plenty, antelope, grouse, and 

 squirrels medium, and bear occasionally, to say nothing of prairje wolves, foxes,- 

 coons, possums, etc, not generally noticed, October, November and December 

 are the perfect montiis for sport, and January and February not bad, but having 

 a few days, at intervals, of rather cold weather — that is, a few inches of snow and 

 ice, with cold, northerly winds — thus constituting what is so well known in Texas, 

 as a " norther." 



These remarks apply to northern Texas in winter, while along the gulf, or 

 southern coast, these same winter months have the mild climate of New York in 

 September. Connecting with the railroad running south from Dennison, near the 

 north line of the State, are stages which convey persons at once to almost any 



Eart of the State desired. For central cities, in which to spend the winter for 

 ealth, as well as for sporting, San Antonio stands first, and Austin, the capital 

 of the State, second. These places cannot well be excelled, everything con 

 sidered. 



UTAH. 



Utahhasanareaofio8,ooc^miles. TheWasatch Chain travers- 

 ing the central part, and numerous other ranges give a decidedly 

 mountainous character to the Territory. Deep canons, dashing 

 mountain streams, and plains are the principal features of the 

 country. Though the game found here is not abundant, the list 

 includes some of the larger game sought after by the hunter. Elk, 

 deer, antelope, mountain sheep, bears and the common fur bear- 

 ing animals with water fowl and the birds afford fair sport. The 

 mountain streams and the lakes abound in salmon and trout ot- 

 superior size, and here the angler will find opportunity for his 

 highest skill. All parts of the Territory may be reached from
