Monkey Shooting in Gambia.

The mere fact of slaughtering monkeys
viii probably not cause any great degree
of pleasure to any one aspiring to the
title of sportsman, though at the same
time man choosing to kill as many as
possible might yet not consider himself
altogether wanton in his sport, for the
monkeys may be termed vermln. They
are great nuisance to the agriculturist,
and cause much loss, especially IN the
ground nut plantations, where they fire.
quently pick the seed out of the ground
almost as soon as it is planted. To shoot
the doe-faced monkey is easy, but to
make a bag is quiet another matter. You
NAV knock him out of a tree, or you
NAV bowl him over on the ground, but
YOU will not find him on the spot where
you feel sure YOU saw him fall. Dead
or alive. his companions carry him off,
and pursuing monkeys on foot Is not o
game which man is adapted to play sue
cessfullv. The most likely way to secure
n specimen is to take a little boat and
pull gently along close into the bank,
Just after sunset, at which time the mon
KEYS frequently collect i'll the branches
of trees overhanging the river; thus one
may be shot so that he falls into the
water. whence his friends are powerless
to rescue him. The great drawback TO
this method of aquatic stalking is that in
the upper river, and especially at the
close Of the day, the mosquitoes fairly
swarm. coming down on one in clouds,
and making shooting q matter of great
determination and endurance. Certainly
it Is ~ary easy to say that such and such
game may be shot by lying ont at night;
and this necessitates an amount of ex-
posure agains. which most Europeans
are not proof, to say nothing of the at
tacks Of the above pests, though they
may, to a certain extent, be baked by
wearing over the hands and face bags
made OF some light material-lenO, for
instance Perhaps at some future date
monkey skins may become of CONNER
cial yalue, and when they do the Gambia
will be able to flood the market, and the
ground nut growers will rejoice.

rHE STATE FAIR estssaAr,cn,
SALEM, OREeoN. June 6. 1881,

SALEM, OREGON, June 6, 1881.
Mr.. EDIToR.-I have been informed that
the impression prevails in some localities
that it is the intention of the State Agricul
| tural society to continue its summer fairs,
and to include its national holiday in all its
| annual exhibitions hereafter. In order that
the public may understand the facts, and to
correct this erroneous impression, I have
been requested to make public statement
From its organization until the year 1877,
the Society had met with satisfactory and
increasing success; and having reason to
believe their good fortune would continue,
had incurred Indebtedness for improvements
on the grounds, in order to meet the urgent
demands of the public and its patrons The
years 1877, '78 and 70 were disastrous to
the society, as every citizen of Oregon is
well aware Inls79, the board, in the face
Of all these discouragements; feeling it was
no longer their duty to incur personal obli-
cations to meet the deficiency caused by the
continued inclemency of the weather, re-
solved to pay the premiums of that fair in
"
fair Of 1880. The bankruptcy and ruin of
the society was then predicted by thousands.
70 change the current of the terrible revers-
es and to restore public. Confidence, the fair
of 1880 was held in July, and as all are
aware. was a triumphant success-the war
rants 1879, which hundreds predicted were
worthless, being paid at par on presentation
principal and interest in fullin coin, as were
also the premiums of $780,
The time for holding the fair of 1881 was
fixed in December last, and the national
holiday, after much discussion, again in
c'uded in the exhibition week, IN the belief
that the society deserved one more success
to assist them in restoring the losses of the
years referred to. -.
Thousands who attended the fair in 1880,
and who will come again, either reside in
localities which have never been favored
with celebration, or who prefer to enjoy
the excitement and interest of the national
holiday on the fair grounds, in connection
with the other attractions of the day and |
week. To make the occasion one of interest |
and pleasure to these people and all others
in attendance, and having resolved eight
months ngo to include the celebration as one
Of the attractions of the fair of 1881, the |
board are now completing the arrangements
for grand jubilee and celebration, with no
design or desire to lessen the interest which
may be felt in celebrations in other portions
of the state. And while am not able to
say what course the board will pursue an
'ther year in regard to the. tine of holding
It's annual exhibition, I do feel confident
&.
hat express the sentiment of the society
md its officers when say that the national
holiday, for many years at least. will not
Igain be included in its annual exhibitions.
