— The Brooklyn Union thus comments on the revoJvin; 

 system now in vogue among the amateur clubs in thi 

 vicinity: -'Our local amateur club contests, and in fac 

 nearly "all the amateur games of the season throughout tin 

 country have largely been robbed of the interest whicl 

 would otherwise have attached to them by the very genera 

 adoption of the odious system of 'revolving,' which 

 been indulged in by the amateur clubs this year to ai 

 tent hitherto unknown. The professionals h 

 put a stop to the custom in their games, an 

 lime the amateurs followed suit. The amati 

 at their convention last spring did adopt a 

 preventing revolving, but as these rules were 

 dtl, 



has 



avc long since 

 d it is about, 

 air association 

 s'ode of rules 

 neVCT printed 

 id, they of course had no effect, and the consequence 

 is that the evil of revolving has prevailed more than ever 

 before. There is no questioning the fact that revolving, 

 viz., allowing players to belong to more than one club, 

 deprives all contests on the ball field of any interest they 

 might possess as trials of skill between two club nines; ami 

 it is to be hoped that at the next amateur club convention 

 a stringent rule against revolving will be adopted, for until 

 it is our amateur club contests will be void of interest, for 

 now they are little else than a series of picked nine games, 

 with, perhaps a few occasional exceptions. This and the 

 sharing of gate money by amateur clubs are the two exist- 

 ing drawbacks to legitimate amateur play. In fact what 

 with the revolving indulged iu and the eagerness shown 

 on the part of amateur clubs to share in gate money receipts, 

 Ihe amateur arena this season has very few thoroughly 

 legitimate amateur contests." 



No doubt the next Convention will have their rules pub- 

 lished in the regular base ball books, and then "revolving" 

 will be stopped" by the enforcement of the association rules- 

 against it.

Old Spouts aind Sportsmen; or The Willey Country. 



By John Kandull, F, G, S. London: Virtue & Co. 1874. 



This is one. of the best aud most attractive books on English sport and 

 sporting men which has been issued from the press for some time. It 

 perpetuates the doings of mighty huntsmen of the generation just past, 

 whose names, household words a few years back, are gradually becom- 

 ing faint traditions, and whose feats stand in danger of being scoffed at 

 unless properly chronicled by such works as Mr. Randall's, which proves 

 to ns most clearly that there were mighty men before the age of breech 

 loaders and Agamemon. The opening chapters of the book describe the 

 time when the "Willey Country" was covered with the king's hunting 

 forests; where the wild boar was still plentiful, and when it was death 

 to touch the king' 8 deer. By the marsh or river hawking was then the 

 favorite sport. But generation after generation passed, the boar and the 

 doer became extinct, hawking became obsolete, and fox hunting began 

 to be thought, as it is now, the only real sport a wealthy gentleman could 

 follow. Mr. Itandall gives a full sccouut of the celebrated "Squire" 

 Forrester and his pack of hounds, and the wonderful sport had therewith. 

 One hundred years ago fox hunting was very different to what it is now, 

 as the following extract will show: 



"Willi our forefathers, when the roosf-cock sounded his clarion, they 

 sounded their born.throwing off ihe pack bo soon as they could distinguish 

 a stile from a gate. Then It, was that the hare was hunted to her form 

 by her trail, and the fox to his kennel by ihe drag. Slow as this sysiem 

 would be now deemed, it wbb a grand treat to the real sportsman. What 

 iu the language of -.he cha--e is called ihe --ternier-eosed hound," had an 

 opportune!' of a>i;,:a-.'ine itn-H iu [lie uicxpr,:;. si !>!e dela-hl ol i;i. manor, 

 and the field displeasures of the day were enhanced by the moments of 

 anticipation produced by the drag. As the scenr grew warmer, the Cer- 

 tainty of ftudiug was confirmed, the music of the pack increase, and 

 the game Being up. away went tne hounds in a crash. Both trail and 

 drag are at present but little thought of. Hounds merely draw over 

 ground most likely to hold th ■

MicnoTtrs, Frederick, Md.— The food of the red doer varies according 

 to "the season. In aut.un.n they crop the buds of green shrubs, leaves of 

 small brambles, the tender parts of brakes or ferns, ic; in winter, when 

 snow covers the ground, they eat the leaves of laurel, and the bark aud 

 moss of trees; and in tnmmer they find abundance of vegetation, es- 

 pecially in the rank grass and lily pads that border the margin of prmd& 

 and sloughs. It is when they come, in search of this that the pot hunter 

 awaits his victim aud fixes his deadly aim.
