The enterprise of Austin Corbin, a
wealthy New Yorker, in establishing
game park in New Hampshire, is per-
haps as innocent mode of spending
money, opines the Boston CuztiOator, as
milionaires usually indulge in. He has
purchased %, 900 acres, part including
the home farm on which he was born,
and intends to enclose it with ten-foot
wire fence, forty-fiv miles long, and
costing $4,000. He spends $780,
900, 900 in stocking the park with elk,
deer, buffalo and the larger game, and
its lakes with valuable fishes. The
larger part of the tract is wild and
covered with trees. 1t includes two
mountain ranges with q fertile valley
between them About $50 large game
animals now roam through this park.
They comprise buffalo, elk, moose, black
tailed deer, white tailed deer, red deer,
caribou, antelope and wild boars from
Germany, the latter more dangerous hunt
ing than any American animal except
the grizzly bear. Such park will in
time be source of revenue from the
game that can be sold from it, but will
probably never pay interest ON what II
will cost its present owner.
