GOOD HUNTING IN NAIROBI. 
Hugh H. Heatley, of Nairobi, British East 
Africa, who has been in the United States since 
October diffusing information about the inter- 
national big game club which he is organizing 
and which will take over some 50,000 acres of 
fr n li-, prese ?' e belon ging to himself and W. N 
McMilan, the American sportsman, who has 
been shooting m that part of the world for six 
iw r T e j en V y fo !\ England on his way 
, e f ^ Ir - I:1 . e ^ tle y said before sailing that he 
ad been delighted with the reception given 
him by sportsmen over here. He felt that the 
club would have many American members. 
• • a iv Rainey and Stewart Edward White will 
join the club I he former will start for Nairobi 
soon for a shoot. 
1 he number of Americans who have shot in 
■ j co P 1 nt f, y ln . . tb ? P ast twelve months is con- 
Heatle y- “I can recall 
offhand, besides Col. Roosevelt, Dr. Ramon 
Guiteras, Major Louis L. Seaman, Col. Max 
Fleischman, Percy Madeira, Herbert Litchfield, 
Bayard Dominick and Henry Sampson, and 
there are others. Several noted English sports- 
be , ' ncn ’ bcr T s of the club, among them 
Selous L ° nSda C ’ S ’ r ^° in Harrin gt°n and F - C. 
One of these days the country will be shot 
out, and our aim is, using Mr. McMillan’s Ju Ta 
farm and my own kanut ranch as a nucleus to 
obtain preserves aggregating from 500,000’ to 
1,000,000 acres in the best parts of the colony 
lhe club membership will be limited to wo. 
^ t^ r P r & an,za t Ion will make its own rules, 
the man who goes into that country for the 
hrS V tl u le • t ° sboot IS U P against the fact that 
everbody is trying to find him out. He wastes 
a lot of money 111 his preparations. If he is 
making a circuit of the country he is likely to 
take out five or six hundred sofari, which is un- 
necessardy large. His expedition i s likely to 
cost him $3,500 to $5,000. We anticipate that 
a member ot the club who wishes to shoot in 
the country will be able to do it on half the 
money a complete stranger would spend. All a 
man who belongs to the club will have to do 
will be to pack his bag and come along He 
can get as good an outfit in Nairobi as in New 
York or London, and he will not buy a lot of 
unnecessary things.” 
‘‘What wild animal, in your opinion, fur- 
mshes the best sport?” Mr. Heatley was asked. 
Personally I regard elephant hunting as the 
greatest sport there is. But if you meet anv 
big animal of bad character you can get a 
rough time. Long experience with wild animals 
has convinced me that there are differences in 
in Pe f a i mentS ° f . beasts J' us t as there are 
Shows fio-S 5 Uma u bein ? S - Wbetb er an animal 
shows fight depends on its character, whether it 
be a lion, a buffalo, an elephant or a rhino 
I here are many men that won’t show fight 
when attacked and hunters have killed lions 
° a’ 13 / n ° hght in them even after be ng 
wounded. On the other hand you might meef 
one whose breakfast had disagreed with him 
and he would be full of fight.” 
“wJi 6 y j°u ever , tamed any wild animals?” 
Well, I brought to England two wild hunt- 
shoul C r g nnf W l h L- Ch i 1 had P Iloped d own, but I 
Thev d des?rn lk V° Say - th , ey llave been tamed. 
J hey destroy other animals. I have seen wild 
dogs kill 100 head of wild animals on my place 
n twelve months. Before I came away I 
trapped a very rare specimen for that part of 
v e er W c 0 aught a H bIaCk which » tfefirst
