 and during its brief existence has acquired 

 some fine shore-front property and has built 

 a handsome and commodious club-house. 

 It has a number of gigs, shells, working 

 boats, etc., and an excellent bathing beach.

 The little Davenport rifle is a beauty and 

 I am surprised at its shooting qualities. 

 Some of my friends think of buying, also.

 Young grouse are ripe but there is not 

 more than half a crop. Seven are the most 

 I have seen in a flock. The usual number 

 is one or two. Lew WlLMOT.

 you a photograph of ourselves, taken with 

 a telo-photographic lens, by an amateur, on 

 a misty morning, at a distance of over half 

 a mile. The photo represents duck shoot* 

 ing on the salt marshes of New [ersey.

 drs. E.C., \% ()Z - shot. The birds were thrown 

 against a strong wind which made them 

 hard to get. Mr. Emmerson usually heads 

 the list, but the poor background and tin- 

 wind were too much lor him. This i> tin- 

 last of our shoots at Blue Rocks this fall.

There is nothing new in the l.i< ks- 

 Hole affair. The Indians arc not hui 

 in Wyoming at present, and it i> doubtful 

 if they do so again tin- year. Some "t tin- 

 eastern folks seem to feel had because no 

 white people were killed.
