to .4. under very promising circumstances. The
trieus
weather of the spring and summer left the
the B,lllnusually numerous, strong, and healthy ; and
inet:eeds of the first day of the shooting are in some
iner aces perhaps unparalleled. Moors which in for-

Boit splendid weather. The 12th was rather a hot and
ThtY day for the moors, and was dazzlingly clear.
e
heather, the lochs and rivers, the lichened crags,
and the bare mountain tops glistened painfully in the
ilaci °llded sunshine, and tempting as was the abun-
oblgame, half the sportsmen who took the moor were
ged partially to succumb to the great heat of the
day,

lii the forest deer-hunting has been well rewarded.
The continued drought has, for the time, spoiled the
