CHARLES HALLOCK. 



Charles Hallock, well known to an J 

 loved by most of the older and many of 

 the younger sportsmen, is dead. He had 

 a long and eventful life and contributed 

 much to our sporting literature. 



My personal acquaintance with him 

 began some years ago after the appear- 

 ance of a paper which I wrote for The 

 New York Independent, "The State and 

 the Game," which may be said to have 

 launched the "more game" movement. 

 When the article was printed I was in 

 Maine and upon my return I found a 

 large mail, including a long letter from 

 Hallock endorsing and praising the arti- 

 cle. Often I have quoted his concluding 

 sentence, "Truly we need a revolution of 

 thought and a revival of common sense." 

 Not long afterwards Hallock came to 

 see me and we have since had some pleas- 

 ant meetings, when he was passing 

 through New York. Often he wrote to 

 me as matters of interest occurred to 

 him. Not very long ago he said the 

 more game movement evidently had won » 

 out and he was much gratified at the 

 success which he had feared would never 

 come. He referred to his letter in which 

 he said there were mountains of preju- 

 dice and politics to be crossed, that he 

 would endeavor to go over them with 

 the small band which set out at the start, 

 but thev seemed to be impassable. 



Living in the West 'and going far- 

 ther west to shoot I did not meet Hal- 

 lock until he was well along in years, but 

 often I have met sportsmen in all parts 

 of the country who said they knew him 

 and all were enthusiastic in their praise. 

 Not long ago when at Waterlily, N. C, 

 Jasper White said : "Everybody knows 

 Hallock and everybody loves him." 



My friend Pond of the Sportsman's 

 Review knew him much better and much 

 longer than I did. The biographical no- 

 tice is from the Review.

"Footprints in the Sands of Time." 



When Charles Hallock, M. A., passed 

 into the Great Beyond on December 2, 

 1917, every sportsman in America suf- 

 fered a keen loss. Here was a man and 

 a sportsman of the highest type, who had 

 devoted his entire life to the advance- 

 ment of clean, healthful sports. The 

 "Dean of American Sportsmen" is an en- 

 viable title given him by the unanimous 

 voices of a million sportsmen, admirers 

 and friends. 



"To know him was to love him," and 

 no man can be more serviceable to hu- 

 manity than to radiate love. 



Charles Hallock, editor, author, nat- 

 uralist and Dean of American Sports- 

 men, was introduced to this world in New 

 York City, March 13, 1834, the son of 

 Gerad and Eliza (Allen) Hallock. 



The early part of his life was spent on 

 his uncle's farm, located in a wilderness 

 of the Green Mountains of Massachu- 

 setts. It was at this place that his youth- 

 ful soul drank in the splendor and beauty 

 of outdoor life which led him to link his 

 arm with mother nature. 



He finished the course at Hopkins 

 Grammar School in New Haven, Conn., 

 and then entered Yale. He soon left 

 Yale to enter Amherst. It was during 

 his sophomore year at this college that he 

 began his literary career, when he be- 

 came editor of the college paper, the 

 Scorpion. 



The experience gained by editing this 

 paper animated his spirit and soon his 

 taste for literary work dominated his 

 zeal for study and he left college to join
