- yOT long ago when IL was decided
M to send specimens OF North Amer
~ lean game 10 the Paris exposition,
Il Dr. Heber Bishop of Boston, was
selected by the Canadian govern
ment TO go into the woods and bring out
the best specimens he could find. He
started last August, and for several weeks
traversed the wiIds of Maine and the pro-
vinces in search Of a moose, a caribou and
a deer. lie was commissioned by the Can
adian government 10 travel over the crown
lands, which usually are closed to hunters
of every kind and was instructed TO get
specimens which could fairly be called the
best types of large game in North America.
He came back with a deer and q MOOSE
that are splendid representatives of their
families. but he was unable to get good
enough caribou. and he will return to the
woods in the last weeks of the season 10
complete the collection.
Dr. Bishop started out with the deter
minatioE 10 shoot with his rifle only the
very best specimens of moose, carbon and
deer that he could find. but he carried with
him a camera which he felt at liberty to
use on anything that came along.

to reach game In the forests even with

a companion instead of the animal that
they think they are aiming at.

to do most of the rest of his shooting
with the camera.
If he had liked he could have killed
every one OF the animals at which he
snapped his camera, but as matter OF
fact he was within vision and close range
of fifty-eight deer before he saw the one
that he concluded was the specimen that
he wanted. He also saw many moose be-
fore he found the right one. He took
many pictures of running game. but only
few OF them were good enough to re-
produce. Some of his experiences in for
est photography were more interesting
than a chase would have been.
1t was his custom to begin the search
for game very early In the morning. and
not to cease until evening. Early morn
ing and early evening are the two best
periods of the day in which to make the
personal acquaintance of moose or carl
beu or deer. Accordingly he rose as early
as o'clock some mornings. and was out
on the lake in his canoe. with rifle and
camera. by o'clock. when the August
sun had not yet completely penetrated
the shades of the forest or dissipated the
n,Ists that lowered over the waters.
Many times he found that only blurr-

One morning, when the mist was so

THE YACHT RACES.

The first race in the International \ scht races for America cup be- tween the Columbia and Shamrock was sailed Tuesday over the Sandy Hook course and was declared off on account of slow winds.
 Tbere will in all probability be five races. The next race is set for Saturday; the third race will be sailed on Oct. 10, the fourth on Oct. IA, and the fifth, if it requires a fifth, will be sailed on Oct. 16 These dates, however, are not final, and may be changed to suit the con- venience of the owners of the con testing yachts, or on account of the weather. To win the cup, one of the vessels must out sail the other in three races aC least.
 Aug. 9, 1851, the yacht America won the cup by twenty minutes in a race lasting ten hours and thirty seven minutes around the Isle of Wight, starting from Cowes. ''Originally the cup was offered by the Royal Yacht Squadron of Eng land as a prize to be sailed for once a year by yachts of all nations. says the Chicago Record. "Sinee that time numerous attempts have been made by British and Canadian yarchtsmen to recover the cup. All of them have resulted in failures. Beginning with 1885 the contests acquired a rivalry in designing and constructing as well as in manipu lating, and since that time English. built yachts have gradually depart ed from the narrow, deep draft ves- sel that was first utilized In the races until now the Shamrock has attempted to outdo the American 'sSimming dish model The Colum- bia and Shamrock are very much alike and the result may rest upon manipulation and the weather, while heretofore it has been determined largely by the types of the vessels. ,

The initial race between the Col umbia and Shamrock yesterday was declared off because of the light winds which prevented either vessel from reaching the finish in the time allotted under the rules. It was not a sailing race but a drifting match. The next race takes place Thursday.
