LENOX. MASS. Aug. 27.-The little
hills are clappng their hands with Joy.
for % has come tho time OF year when
the seaside IS forsaken for the noun
tains and when the bathing dress is taken
OF and the yachting costume put on. The
big boats head toward the coast. where,
iuland. lie the beautiful blue elevations,
russell now and golden. the hills Of Sep
TENDER.
The great mountain sensation Of the
thousand acres, upon which run wild
back OF LcnOX and consists OF nearly a
season IS the wonderful game preserve
owned by William c. Whitney. II lies
game OF every kind, that will live in this
country. Mostly from the Rockies these
great animals have taken up habita-
ton in the Whitney woods and are now
running wild. apparently more contented
than they were in their mountain fast
nossos. where they were so frequently
disturbed.
The collection Of this game began one
year ago. when young Harry Payne
Whitney took his bride. Gertrude Van
dcrbnt. up 10 October Mountain for
honeymoon. soon afterwards Mr. Whit
noy and his bride went up and, while
there Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney planned
tho present game preserve.

rear of 10 riso the trees. the woods where
the game roam. Very tall wire fences
bound the preserve. and there is no dan
ger that the animals will escape.
An interesting tale is told of the meas
urcs taken TO prevent the wholesale
slaughter Of the -Four Hundred now at
J.enOX for the month Of September. Mr..
Whitney had been quietly gathering to-
rether for some time the black-tailed
deer the antelope and such small fry,
90 which no one paid much attention.
But one dav 70 was noiscd about that

and that there was a wild stampcding at

As yet 10 had been impossible TO get them
into the trucks
Within five minutes n delegation OF
lcu0Ns leading citizens waited upon Mr.
Whitney and demanded 10 know what
precautions De had taken for the prcscr-
walton of the public peace and safety.
