VIII show Hunters where the Ballet
Went.
The American nimrod will soon be
able TO decide to a nicely whether his
gun has failed him or not. He will
be able to tell at glance when he has
shot strolling COW instead OF the ex-
pected bear. or, perchance. riddled one
OF his hunting friends or passer-by
with buckshot.
This he will do by simply removing
from the gun barrel a small photo
graph apparatus affixed TO 1t. The Ger
man emperor recently introduced the
photograph rifle" among his royal
guests at Remington prairie. 1t proved
TO be an immense success in deerstalk-
Ing. In this form of hunting the sports
man matches the keenest power of hu-
man patience, endurance and skill
against the marvellous defensive In
stincts OF the game. The swift antlered
beauties are more frequently wounded
than killed outright by ball. In that
condition they run many miles with the
hounds and huntsmen often following,
and even then may escape. The new
apparatus adopted by the kaiser shows
exactly where the shot took effect, and
thus enables the hunter to determine
whether or not II will pay TO follow up
the game. The naked eye may deceive
the hunter, who is usually trembling
with excitement. But as the axis of the
gun camera ALWAYS corresDonds with
the sight" 1t must necessarily reflect
the exact spot where the bullet is
aimed. The camera opens the moment
when the sight" is taken and closes
with the picture fixed in it fraction Of
second before the firing of the shot
The device is light and easily detach-
able. The hunters breast pocket serves
as dark room for the records Of his
skill. Sporting Life.

Neither the magnates. the players,

It is. The plain. unpretentious and I'M

1t over, and you will agree with US.
No better proof Of the advance Of
base ball in Great Britain is needed
than the fact that the Lord Mayor Of
London should deem 1t proper and po-
little to dine the base ball promoters in

Stokes is very handsome, we'll known
In New York. and is famous as driver
and yachtswoman. She is interested
in trotters and PAGERS and is as ambi-
tious as Robert Bonner TO own the best.
She looks upon the trotter as the Amer
lean product--one that she can drive
and jog along the road. In fact. she
has great reputation as whip. Mrs.
Stokes is probably the richest woman
horse owner In America. With her the
fascination is as strong as with the
vanderbilts, Bonners, Rockefellers and
Frank Works, who at rs is a road driv-
err Of New York. Nor is she likely to
be the only Eastern woman who is in

Of Boston is not only the owner of sew
eral good horses. but has colts by Dr.

hobby is that the perfect trotter will
have the blood of these three. There
are several Western women who own
trotters, but Mrs. Stokes has the best
collection of any. 1t may be that her
stable will be the greatest in the grand
circuit next year.
