R EC RE A TION. 



There are wild fowl on the eastern coast and 

 some deer in the almost inaccessible and " un- 

 traversible" swamps. A party from here who 

 went deer hunting in these swamps in the latter 

 part of November, told me the people there did 

 not know an election had taken place.

Would be pleasea to join some one going East 

 for bay birds and .striped bass, in September, or 

 to the St. Lawrence for black bass, or to Can- 

 ada. Would also be obliged for a line from any 

 of the brethren who have shot bay birds in vicin- 

 ity of Virginia Beach.

An 'immense flock of wild geese, two tiers 

 deep, passed down Eagle Pass a few weeks ago. 

 An enthusiastic member of a group, who watched 

 this phenomenal flock for several minutes, de- 

 clared that from the tip of the most easterly to 

 the tip of the most westerly fowl it was a mile 

 broad. 



If this thing is to continue it will be proper to 

 change the name of that town to Goose Pass.

A St. Louis man has invented and put on 

 the market a shot cartridge which he claims will 

 kill ducks, regularly, at 150 yards, men at 200 

 yards (using buckshot), and which he says makes 

 a $25 gun shoot just as well, and kill just as 

 much game as a $300 gun. Natural laws cut 

 but a small figure in the -calculations of some 

 " inventors/' 



Dr. Barrett and party will leave Brooklyn 

 about Sept. 1st for Red Lodge, Mont , via the 

 Northern Pacific R. R., for a seven weeks' cruise 

 through the Yellowstone Park, Jacksons Hole, 

 and the lower Snake river country. They have 

 contracted for three guides and complete saddle 

 and packhorse outfit.

On account of the dry weather here this spring, 

 the hatch of young prairie chickens is reported 

 very large. Farmers report seeing numerous 

 coveys of young birds just hatched.

 I shall be obliged if any of your readers can 

 give me information of the best places for ducks 

 and geese, in Montana, or North-west Territories, 

 accessible by wagon from the Northern Pacific 

 Railroad. R. Ashworth. 



Mr. S. T. Fullerton is therjest Game Warden 

 we have ever had. You ought to see the pile of 

 nets he has captured this season. I hope they 

 will make it so hot for some of those robbers 

 that they will be glad to leave good enough 

 alone. E, J. Pauli,

Last evening two deer came to the river, by 

 our house, surveyed us all and trotted off. 

 Within an hour three mountain sheep were on 

 the hill, back of the house, and we all turned 

 out to look at them. James Fullerton,
