The cunning season would not
bring happiness to unsportsmanlike
hunters, perhaps, without the annual
organized pursuit and senseless
slaughter of squirrels and other
harmless residents of the woods,
known as the competitive hunt. :"
The first suggestion comes from
Hardwick, and it will be heard in
other parts of the state. "The days
outing would do nobody any harm,"
adds the Gazette in urging those
interested to make arrangements for
"day's sport" "and it would be
the means of bringing on very
pleasant social gathering" Apleas-
ant social gathering for the mere
pleasure of pursuing and killing Il
lot of harmless animals is a highly
entertaining and instructive specta.
