' great execution can be done, as the birds will not
On Wednesday, on the Gleneagles moors, one
gun in two hours killed nine brace of grouse, one
brace of snipes, and two brace of plovers. At Du-
ehally Mr. Mylne and party shot eight brace and
some other game. On Strathallan and Carim moors
good sport is enjoyed. A large quantity of game
was despatched from thd Crieff Junction on Wed-
nesday for London. Prices are good, as few birds
have yet been in the market.
CRIEFF.—The weather still continues unpropi-
tious for the sport on the moors. Heavy showers
of rain have fallen every day since Monday, and in
many cases sportsmen have not ventured out yet.
On Monday afternoon, in the course of three hours,
the Hon. Gilbert lieathcote, M.P., and Col. Tyr-
whitt killed 26 brace of grouse on the Perth estate.
On Tuesday and Wednesday they bagged an im-
mense number of game. On the Balhaldie estate
two guns shot on Tuesday 35 brace of grouse and
12 hares. In Strathtay, Monzie, Glenalmond, and
Strathbraan the sport has been also good. The
train on Wednesday afternoon from Crieff railway
station took away 50 boxes of game from Drum-
mond Castle and Glenturret grounds alone. The
boxes and hampers yesterday were also nume-
rous. The birds are selling from ss. 6d. to 7s. per
brace.
GREENOCK,—The sport in this neighbourhood
was interrupted on Wednesday by a heavy fall of
rain. On the 12th Sir R. M. Shaw Stewart, Bart.,
M.P., killed 15 brace on Greenock Moor in a few
hours, and a townsman on the hills in the neigh-
bourhood of Dunoon bagged 16 brace. Mr. Taylor,
of Rockbank, near Campbelltown, shot upwards of
30 brace on his moors. The birds are very wild,
rising at a distance of 40 yards. Game is very
scarce in the market, and sells at the following
prices :—Grouse, 7s. per- brace ;_ hares, 3s. each ;
rabbits, ls. 6d. per pair.
