The preserving Of smaller game is
largely in the hands of the various hunt

Genessee Valley Hunt club, perhaps
the most famous fox hunting organiza-
ton an the country. The section of
country covered by the huntsmen of
this club is about 20 miles long by six
or seven miles wide, and lies along the
Genessee river in western New York.
1t is a country of rich farms, but so
thoroughly is the fox hunting spirit
engrafted on the region that the farm
ers seldom make objection to having
their fields trampled over and their
fences knocked down. In fact, many
Of the tiliers of the soil like to ioiu in
the hunt themselves, Accordingly Rey-

in Buffalo, Rochester and other New

Acknowledged premier of American
birds from the sportsman's point of
