through mud, willow thickets, and a series of “beaver 
dams” for two hours, I finally readied camp. The “boys” 
had a tremendous large fire of cottonw r ood logs for a bea¬ 
con, and rolling a log up to the fire for a seat I took off my 
wet clothes and put on dry ones. When dressed, “the 
.Judge” (our cook) called my attention to a fawn which had 
been killed by one of our party (known as “Taggart, the 
unconquerable geologist,”) and baked whole for supper in 
the ever useful dutch oven. When supper was over we 
turned in, and the next morning I set out with two com¬ 
panions for my deer. We took our little pet pack mule 
“Mexico” to carry the spoils, and we found it quite a task 
to persuade her to cross the beaver dams in our course. 
Having reached the place where the deer had been left, I 
dismounted, and having walked into the timber a few rods 
I found the fallen tree covered in places with the coat of 
the deer, but the deer was gone. Returning to my com¬ 
panions, I told them my deer had vanished, and that there 
was a prospect for a bear fight. One of our party re¬ 
mained to watch our horses, and the other member of our 
party and I went in search of the thief, determined to take 
his skin, whether it was a bear or panther. There were 
two trails leading from the tree where the deer had been 
left. Each of us took a trail, and after I had followed 
mine for about five minutes my companion called out, 
“Come here.” As I approached the place where he stood 
he pointed to the remains of the deer and said “panther.” 
About one half the deer had been devoured, and the ground 
was torn up for twenty feet around. There in the loose 
earth were the large round tracks of the panther, wiiich a 
hunter is not likely to mistake. The panther must have 
been a large and powerful animal, as it had carried a full 
grown doe seventy-five yards over fallen timber. The deer 
had not been dragged but carried the whole distance, as the 
teeth marks in the back were plainly seen where the pan¬ 
ther had carried it in his mouth, and there was no trail visi¬ 
ble where the deer could have been hauled along the 
ground. There was a large pile of loose earth and leaves 
scraped together near the body of the deer, and it was evi¬ 
dent that the panther had finished his feast, and was about 
to cover what remained for future use. But hearing us as 
we approached it had sneaked away before we had an op¬ 
portunity of trying our rifles on it. We followed the trails 
of the panther for several hours, but could not overtake it. 
On our return to our horses we shot another deer; so our 
journey was not altogether useless. 
Nearly all the streams in the mountains run over the 
rough rocks, making a succession of waterfalls. They are 
not often seen by the whites, except by miners and hunt¬ 
ers, who cannot appreciate their natural beauties. These 
streams on which we camped are formed by the melting 
snow banks on the mountain peaks. 
Trout are caught in some of the larger streams below the 
falls, and in some waters they are very abundant. They 
are, no doubt, a distinct species from the common brook 
trout of the east.

—The St. George club were not as fortunate on their 
eastern trip this season as they were last year, the fact 
being that the New Englanders have improved in their 
play since then. On July 8d, in the game between the 
Boston and St. George clubs, played at East Cambridge, 
the New A ork eleven were defeated by the appended score, 
only one innings being played on each side.

—At Salem, on July 4tli, the St. George eleven played 
the Alphas, and 'the New Yorkers were easily defeated, 
with nine wickets to fall. 
—The Manhattan Cricket Club of New York visited the 
Prospect Park Club of Brooklyn on July 4tli to play their 
annual holiday match together, and taking over a good 
team, they poiished off the unpracticed Brooklyn eleven in 
handsome style, to the tune of 153 to 65. The Manbattans 
were hospitably entertained and they fully enjoyed the 
same. This is the only match outside their own club that 
the Prospect Park players take part in, as they play the 
game for recreative exercise only, and not to win matches.

Editor Forest and Stream :— 
The past week has been very prolific of games in which 
College clubs were interested, as the following record will 
show : Monday, June 29, Yale 16, Princeton 1. Tuesday, 
June 31, Princeton 13, Harvard 11, Hartford 7, Yale'0. 
Wednesday, Julyl, Hartford 9, Yale 8. Thursday, July 2, 
Harvard 19, Princeton, 4. Friday, July 3, Princeton 14, 
Hartford 8, Baltimore 15, Yale 4. Saturday, July 4, 
Hartford 18, Harvard 1, Baltimore 7, Yale 6. These last 
two games were only six innings. From the above it will 
be seen that Princeton and Yale have each prnyed five 
games, and Harvard 4 games, this week. Truly, before 
Harvard and Yale play in Saratoga they ought to be in ex¬ 
cellent practice, and a close game is looked forward to. 
The betting is now said to be 100 to 75 in favor of Harvard 
against Yale. It is reported that the first base of the 
Harvards is to accompany and play with the “Bostons” 
during their European tour. “Tyro.” 
—The Athletic Games at Barnum’s Hippodrome, inaugu¬ 
rated on Friday, June 26, and terminating Thursday, July 
2, proved a decided success, the several prominent athletic 
societies being well represented by their best athletes. Our 
friend, Mr. F. J. Engelhardt was, we understand, entrusted 
with the management of this noteworthy event.

Fur, Fin and Feather. A Compilation of the Game Laws 
of the different States of the Union and Canadian Provinces. With 
notes on Field Sports and Angling. Latest revised edition for 1874. 
Charles Snydam, Publisher, 158 Chambers street, New York. 
The compilation of the many and various laws in the States of the 
Union in regard to the periods when it may be legal or illegal to kill 
game or catch fish, must render “Fur, Fin and Feather” an absolute ne¬ 
cessity to every sportsman throughout the country. In a comprehensive 
and convenient form can be found the numerous provisions adopted by 
the various Legislatures, with all the recent changes. It requires no 
little attention on the part of the most conscientious of hunting or fish¬ 
ing men to keep always within the law, hut with this vade mecum in their 
hands the possessors of the book can always find out whether they trans¬ 
gress or not. To “Fur, Fin and Feather” has been added a useful ap¬ 
pendix describing the resorts of game, and when and where it can be 
found in season, and quite an extended list of hunting and fishing locali¬ 
ties is given and how to reach them, all of which must render the last 
edition of “Fur, Fin and Feather” invaluable to those who use gun or rod. 
Holden’s Birds. By Charles F. Holden. Boston : 
From the Boston branch house of the New York and Boston publish¬ 
ers we have received this little bijou upon singing birds and the manner 
of taking proper care of them. Said a lady to us a week since: “Hove 
canaries, and would keep them, but I do not know how to take care of 
them. One tells me this, and another that method, as the right way to 
use these little pets, and I am confused, rather than instructed. What 
shall I do?” Go to No. 9 Bowdoin square, Boston, and ask Mr. Holden 
to give you that little elegant gold-edged work of his on birds, and you 
will find within its ample pages information upon every subject relating 
to the purchase, rearing, feeding, and in fact the entire treatment of the 
carnaries and other singing birds, not to be found in any other work of 
the times.
