Game Commissioner Collins, of Connect- 

 icut, recently said, in reply to a question: 



" I am informed from a reliable source that New 

 York sportsmen come to Essex and shoot, or rather 

 ' slaughter ' the birds for wine suppers. What I mean by 

 that is, a yachting party will enter a shooting contest and 

 the man making the smallest score pays for the supper. It 

 has come to my knowledge that hundreds of the birds have 

 been found floating in the river, where they were thrown 

 after being shot and counted." 



I wish I could get the names of some of 

 these New York chaps. Can any one fur- 

 nish them? — Editor. 



The Syracuse Herald published, in Oc- 

 tober last, another fish hog picture. It rep- 

 resents John Harlow and John Beers of that 

 city, standing up, gazing at the camera, 

 and holding a pole on their shoulders 

 from which are suspended 14 pickerel and 2 

 muskalonge. The pickerel would appar- 

 ently weigh about 2 to 5 pounds each and 

 the muskalonge 10 to 15 pounds each. The 

 string would probably aggregate 75 to 100 

 pounds. Instead of feeling proud of their 

 catch, these men should be ashamed of it. 



About 2 months ago a pigeon came to 

 the farm of John McEwen, 2 miles East 

 of this place. The bird is brown, a strong 

 flyer and quite tame. On one leg is a silver 

 band inscribed " K. 950." It is undoubtedly 

 a lost carrier pigeon.

CALIFORNIA 



IS THE REAL 

 WINTER RESORT 



and the New York Central is the best way to 

 reach it, — only ninety-six hours from Grand 

 Central Station, New York, to the orange 

 groves of California. 



The best is the cheapest and the New York 

 Central has no equal. 



A booklet on the "Lake Shore Limited," containing 

 also a novel and unique descriptive time table of this 

 wonderful train, will be sent free by addressing George 

 H. Daniels, General Passenger Agent, Grand Central 

 Station, New York.
