at the Claiborne House. just brought in
from Utah, which is little ahead of any

81 inches length Of principal antlers. 81
tincbes (; circumference of same, 8 inches.
There were FIVE large antlers on each horn,
and the horns and antlers were precisely
alike in every respect. IF ordinary horns
make deer stag. we should think such
horns as these would make an elk stager.-
