THE MOORS.

The critical period of the season is now over, or very
nearly so, as respects the young grouse, and it has
passed under favourable circumstances. The young
birds are generally well clothed with feathers; so
that should the succeeding week bring heavy rain,
unpropitious weather can have little injurious effect.
The prospects of good sport to the many who
annually seek our Highland moors, for health
and pleasure, are excellent; and it gives us much sa-
tisfaction, considering the disappointments of the last
two years, to be able to say, with perfect truth, that the
birds on the moors generally are considered to be fully
an average of the last five or six seasons. So far as the
season has now gone, a better has not been since 1846,
when the birds were unusually numerous. We have
seen reports from a wide circuit of country, and they
are all favourable. Some state that nests with
from eight to ten eggs were common—and others,
that nests with ten and twelve were met with
frequently. A person who crossed Strathdearn on
Tuesday flushed a covey of twelve. We subjoin
a note of some of the moors which have been taken.
The demand for shootings is at present rather strong, as
a number of gentlemen who usually rent moors delsyed
doing so this season until they should ascertain how
the season turned out. They are now entering the
market, and though some of the best shootings are still
unoccupied, we anticipate that in eight or ten days the
list of " taken" will have rapidly increased. The weather
is now good, and strangers bound for the moors, rivers,
and lochs, are arriving daily in large numbers.
