The "Solb Inhabit ant. "-tVeM Sill, iVeffl., Nov 13.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: In your issue of Oct. 31, I read 

 an item supposed to be an extract from a Nevada letter, 

 headed, "The Sole Inhabitant of Oarson City." I would re- 

 spectfnily suggest to your intelligent (?) oorresponaet 

 he interviews some little shool-boy who, without a floul 

 inform him in regard to the relation that town bears 1 1 

 of Nevada, and will put to flight all his bosh ta regS 

 being deserted, unless a town with about three thou 

 habitants can be called deserted. It is not " in the tai 

 a prairie," but nestled in a pleasant little valley at, the 

 the Sierras, and who ever heard of hunting buffalo in the 

 vic'mitv of Carson City ? Why, there is not a buffalo in the 

 State, and if people must use their pen to relate their experi- 

 ence, would it not be well to do so with some veracity or be- 

 come better informed in geographical matters. The letter 

 surely never came from Nevada, for the most ignorant and 

 uninformed "booby" in the State knows better than to write 

 such trash. We claim no laurels for our variety of game 

 other than legitimately belong to us, and I herewith must 

 say he has waived all claim to truth, and displayed a most 

 despicable disposition to deceive the readers of your most in- 

 teresting paper. J- M - B - 



The squib you refer to is now going the rounds of the press. 

 There is a good joke in the meal somewhere and the news- 

 paper men are trying to see who will discover it first. Evi- 

 dently J. M. B. don't see it, for one.— Ed. 



A PROPOSED SHOOTING CLUB. 



New Yonx, Dee. 2, 1313, 



EDITOR FOREST AND STBEAJt ; 



I am, unfortunately lor my shooting proclivities, a resident of tsis 

 city, and engaged in a business that will not permit of ray leaving it 

 for more than a couple of daya at a time. Now. as ft takes about a 

 day's travel to reach a point wherein a man may enjoy a day's shoot- 

 ing, with, perhaps, a. dozen birds to show forit, you see I am in an un- 

 enviable position, so much so that I have several times half resolved 

 to give up my favorite pastime, and content myself with the glowing 

 accounts of deeds performed by my more fortunate brethren of the 

 cloth, so ably recounted in F. & S. 



While pondering on the subject a few days ago, after a hard day's 

 tramp, au expense of S12, and four Quail (only pne miss, so don't put 

 it on that score,) the following suggested itself to me : 



My idea wao to form an association of, say twenty-five gentlemen, 

 who for about $10 a year apiece could lease the shooting privileges over 

 a considerable number of acres, either in this State or New Jereey i 

 making the owners of the land its guardian; and by properly posting 

 and stocking the same they could have a spot within four or five hours 

 ride of home, where they could go, sure of a day 'a sport, ami without 

 the fear of the owner of the property, on which they were trespassing, 

 coming out with a double-barrel gun, and, in chaste and elegant 

 language, persuading them to leave. This, of course, is my scheme 

 in the crude. It could be elaborated to almost any extent, according 

 to the judgment of its partisans. 



Accordingly I made a partial canvas ot such of my friends as would 

 be likely to be interested in sues a project, and my plan was so well 

 reoelved that I now feel sure that with a little of your valuable ascist. 

 ance I can make a success of it. I have no doubt that there are num- 

 berless individuals in this city and Its vicinity in very macn 

 box as ''yours truly," who, If assured of the class of men with whom 

 they would be brought in contact, would be glad to join such au associa- 

 tion ; and if you see fie to publish this letter, and will advise such gentle- 

 men to apply to me for furthcrpartiomarsoou will confer a favor upon 



We think the project, of out correspondent 

 one, and as we know him, and also some of those who pro- 

 pose to jbin him, We shall be happy i 

 the encouragement in our power. Th< o > it plenty 



of farmers in New York or New Jersey, win 

 of the city, who would be glad to rent the footing privil 

 of their land, and protect the game on it, for a very moderate 

 sum. — Ed.

(u) A defence very much in favor at one time by Auderssen and other 

 masters. B-Kt.2, a move first introduced, we believe, by Herr Paulsen, 

 is now considered the best. 



(h) Thia leads to a very similar position as attained by Paulsen's 

 defence. The continuation of tne former would he by B-Q3, wlilotn; 

 however, is not so good as the one in the text.

(d) All this is book. 



(e) Well played. 



(f) Would not White's game be improved by 16— R-K B4, instead of 

 the move in the text 7— D. M. L. 



(3) Black has conducted the game In first-rite style; this move 

 appears to us, however, rather premature. Would not Q-K5 give 

 greater advantage to Black ? 



{h) Very welt played. 



(0 Another good move. Black evidently f ear3 White's strong attack;, 

 beginning with R-Qs ch, and prefers losing the exchange to moving Mb 

 Q R-Kt. 



(1) We consider the game a very good one, and very carefully played 

 Black run again play R-Q Ktt dis ch, followed by P-K 

 .oka very tempting. White can, however, escape by mov- 

 ing R-B4, and would then win the game.— Ayr Argw.
