OF the entire subject, and after most
earnest investigation into tine details or
expenditure, | believe that an exceed
ingly conservative estimate would place
the annual rentals of Scottish shootlngs
and tisnmgs at $4,000, 900, and the ex-
pense of enjoying their privilege at an
equal or greater sum. So that for hunt
ing and fishing in Scotland alone,
British sportsmen annually expend the
enormous sum of S20, 900 900!
These Scottish shootings and fishings
comprise almost iuconcleyably vast
tracts as well as riculously insignificant
bounds. Among the shootings, areas Of
from 5 to 250,0O0 acres are found;
