quickly pitched our tent here, and got things in shape for 
the night, although it was still fairly early in the after- 
noon. The party tried the fishing, going out in the empty 
boats and had only fair luck, as the high winds seemed 
to interfere with the sport, and, of course, made it diffi- 
cult to cast in any direction except down stream with the 
gale. Louis and H. N. T. explored up stream some dis- 
tance, casting until they both had "glass arms," and Carl 
arid Charles also wandered around in their canoe taking 
things easy and hauling in the trout. Here, as before, 
the most taking fly was the Parmacheenee Belle, the trout 
preferring it to any other in our large assortment. So 
many fish were taken on this kind of fly that our avail- 
able supply of them was almost exhausted, the wear and 
tear on them using them up pretty fast. Carl had good 
success with a Jennj' Lind on the drop leader; H. N. T. 
preferring the Royal Coachman. Toward evening light 
colored flies were substituted, the Dusty Miller and the 
Silver Fairy proving great killers. The fish taken in the 
quick waters were strong and active, and put up great 
fights, taxing our light tackle to the utmost. So lavish 
was the supply of fish and so ready were they to take 
the fly that we were often literally "tired of catching 
trout," and the extraordinary spectacle might have been 
witnessed of two enthusiastic fishing "cranks" reclining 
luxuriously on the grass near the camp-fire, pipe in 
mouth, watching listlessly the antics of the fish in the 
stream within casting distance of where they lay. Two 
weeks before had anyone told us this were possible we 
would have scoffed at the idea ! 
We were now within some ten miles of Milton, where 
ther visions of moose. Peering cautiously out from be- 
neath the edge of the canvas, we made out in the dark- 
ness a number of huge forms surrounding us, blowing 
loud snorts of alarm, one of them standing close along- 
side the Scribe's head and nosing at the ashes of the fire. 
As usual, they turned out to be a flock of steers, coming 
down to the spring to drink. We had pre-empted their 
"swizzle-haus," and they naturally resented the intrusion. 
There was risk of their getting mixed up in our guy- 
ropes and pulling the tent about our ears, so Arthur 
slipped a couple of bird-shot cartridges into his 22, and 
blazed away through the rear opening of the tent. The 
result was a lot of surprised cattle and a realistic repre- 
sentation of a Texas stampede up the hill back of us. 
Half an hour later they were with us again and the per- 
formance was repeated, much to the disgust of the sleep- 
ers. After the second fusilade they did not disturb us 
again, but gradually disappeared in the woods, the noise 
of their movements growing fainter and fainter. 
No further disturbances occurred during the rest of the 
night except the snores of the Scribe.

CASTING. 
a large pulp mill was located, and we questioned Louis 
closely about the difficulties to be encountered on _ the 
following day when we would be without his services. 
He told us of two large dams to be passed, possibly three. 
We decided to leave the river at the pulp mill and load 
our boats, etc., on the little railway that plies between 
Milton and Liverpool in connection with the mill. Our 
boat, the Senlac, of the South Shore Line, was due at 
Liverpool some time on Tuesday— what hour we did not 
know, nor could we find out when the train left Milton 
on Monday afternoon. Our time was growing short, and 
we aimed to make the run to the pulp mill the following 
morning, so as to have ample time for emergencies that 
might arise. While we were discussing these matters 
the Indians returned down stream and a few minutes 
later we were all bidding Louis good-bye with genuine 
regret. He had proved a first-rate companion and an'ex- 
cellent guide; we could not have asked for a more con- 
genial addition to the party. They passed quickly out 
of sight around a bend of the stream and we realized that 
it was again "up to us" to get out of the country on our 
own resources. 
This was our last "night camp," so we took special 
care to make it a comfortable one, duly naming it Camp 
Iris, Arthur fastening a bunch of that graceful flower to 
the peak of the tent. Ample supplies were gathered of 
spruce boughs for the beds and hemlock bark for the 
fire, and after a hearty supper in which broiled trout, 
bacon, rice and cornbread figured prominently, the cruis- 
ers stretched themselves around the camp-fire, and light- 
ing pipes, burst into song. Stories and reminiscences 
came thick and fast, the loungers moving only to shift 
the wet shoes and socks hanging by the fire, or to get 
another light for a pipe. The cool night air made the 
fire very agreeable, the cosy circle of its warmth lighting 
up our camp amidst the gloom and darkness of the sur- 
rounding forest and the rushing river below. Very loath 
to leave its cheery influence, at last we banked the fire 
with heavy logs and stretching ourselves, slid into our 
sleeping bags, the roar of the rapids and the crackle of 
the camp-fire serving as pleasant reminders of the day's 
sport. 
The night was quite cold and we slept inside both inner 
sleeping bags, our ears and noses resembling chunks of 
ice by sunrise. At 10:30 P. M., by Arthur's watch, we 
were awakened from deep slumber by heavy trampling 
and loud snuffling around the edges of the tent. All 
hands were promptly on the qui vive, "Bears !" being the 
first thought with each, except H. N. T., who had fur-

Dayton Sharpshooters. 
The Dayton, O., Sharpshooters' Society gave their opening 
shoot on their new range on the Dayton Gun Club's grounds, 
four miles south of the city, on May 24, and the contests were 
participated in by the crack shots from all parts of the valley. 
The society was organized in 1863, and in its early years its 
custom was to march from the court house carrying their rifles 
and in uniform, and with music proceed to their range on South 
Wayne avenue. Changes in location were made, and the society 
finally established the Oakwood range, then moved half a mile 
west to the Kramer woods, and are at last permanently settled 
in their present location. 
Most of the honors in the offhand contests were captured by 
the visitors. Each member of the society was a committee to 
entertain visitors, and they certainly made the occasion a pleas- 
ant one for the guests. Lunch was served all day.
