Chase City, Va., Sept. 26. — Editor Forest 
and Stream: The Mecklenburg being the head¬ 
quarters of the Va. and N. C. Fox-Hunters’ As¬ 
sociation, the third annual meet will take place 
here, covering the dates of Oct. 22 to 30, in¬ 
clusive. The programme in preparation presents 
all the attractive features and prizes of the 
sport that has so popularized this resort. The 
membership of the Va. and N. C. Fox-Hunters’ 
Association has now attained a growth beyond 
any like sporting organization in this country, 
and still grows rapidly. There are plenty of 
foxes, and no better fields for the sport could 
be desired than this section of Virginia. The 
game is plentiful far and near here. 
The schedules and programmes and member¬ 
ship cards can be had of the Mecklenburg 
management or the secretary of the association. 
The hounds have a greater number of catches 
to their credit than any others to be found any¬ 
where. Both bird and fox dogs have been 
closely selected and increased in number and 
efficiency, and the setters are all that could be 
desired, to say nothing of the metropolitan 
management of the hotel—better than ever. 
Quail are absolutely plentiful, and coveys may 
be found now among the tall weeds within the 
Chase City corporate limits, so that the amateur 
and lady sports may have abundant practice on 
the spot, while hardier sportsmen may 'select 
their own ground far or nearby. 
It is wonderful to see here eight-month-old 
pups that will run a fox already, one of which 
ran sixteen miles last week with the old dogs 
unharmed; but the pups, with the instinct of best 
breeding, have been trained trailing and chasing 
a live red fox kept for months on the premises, 
which followed its keeper about, till he tired 
of the pup’s familiarity and chases after he ran 
a tree, and was soon up and off and out of 
danger, but may be sometimes heard barking at 
night when the hounds are in their kennels.

material, perfect temper, fine finish and durability. 
The Combination Reel and Handle—the reel being in the center of 
the handle—is most desirable, and takes up the slack quickly and easily,

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida. 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 268 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast ot 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desires to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are curs 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.

Sketches of character and incident with rod and gun from

It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning, and have 
been of sustained interest. The “Men I Have Fished 
With” was among the most popular stories of papers ever 
presented to Forest and Stream readers.
