Hoyt, member of the firm of Hoyt & Atchison,a popular secret society man, and a general favorite; James Marsh, member of the hustling firm of Ackley, Hatch & Marsh, popular horseman and rat tling good fellow generally; James Me- Euan, an employe of the Farmers Trading Co.,, a genial secret society man and an expert hunter, while the quartet was completed by that expert fox hunter of New Preston. A. G.. Caskey. On Friday, November IA, these gentlemen left New Milford for the woods of Maine on the 9.13 a. m. train. They arrived at Boston at 4 D. m., and at o'clock left on the Bos- ton and Maine railroad for Portland, where they arrived at 10 p. m. The following morning at ' o'clock they boarded train on the Maine Central road for Pennington, where they ar rived at 12 o'clock. From Pennington they left on the Sandy River road (narrow guage) for Strong, arriving at 12.40. Here they took the Franklin and Megantic road (also narrow guage) for Bigelow, arriving at 6.55 p. m., Saturday. They then took stage to Stratton, thence by blackboard to Flagstaff and then by trail to Spring Lake, their destination, where they arrived about l2 o'clock, Sunday. The remainder of the day was very pleas antly passed in the log cabins on the shore of the lake.
 John B. Carville, secretary of the Spring Lake Fish and Game Associa- tion, and Leo Standish, both registered guides, met the party and on Monday morning the sport was begun in dead earnest. To make the trip more inter- esting a purse of S25 was raised among the gentlemen of the party, to be pre- sented to the one bringing down the first deer. As none of the party had

Notwithstanding his scratched hands and torn clothing, as the result of his
 tramp in the jungle, his good nature
 asserted itself as he laughed over his adventure. On being joked about the
 matter he said that he consi dered
 that he was the only one in the party
 who could have stood the storm, as
 McEuan would have been too badly frightened to have gotten out, Caskey
 too nervous and Hoyt too lazy. Friday morning, the last day of the sport, saw the party with two deer lacking. The
 state law allows each sportsman to
 take out two deer shot by himself. At noon on the return to camp it was found that both MesSrS Marsh and Mo Euan had scored, leaving MT Caskey one shot. As it was planned to break camp, Friday, the New Milford party of three loaded their six deer on to the blackboard that had come in over the trail for them and bidding adieu to Spring Lake camp and two of the best guides that ever went over a Oln1As OIIl D. S6tI F1lC d1O 1ACO CU1l- dish, and the gentlemanly steward of i the camp, Charles Savage, and his assistants, Messrs Smith and Standish, they reluctantly retraced their tracks
 toward Flagstaff and the outside
 world. MT Caskey was left at the
 camp with Guide Standish. On their
 departure the intrepid Caskey sent
 this message: "Tell anyone who asks
 about me that I shall stay at Spring
 Lake till l get my other buck, if it
 takes till December 15 or the close
 season." By leaving Bigelow on the
 ' p. m. train, Friday, the party expect
 ed to reach New Milford on the last
 train, Saturday night. But owing to
 delays they did not arrive in New f Milford till S.20 Sunday morning. All
 three gentlemen are enthusiastic over
 their trip and another fall will doubt less see them in Maine on the trail
 after the fleet footed deer. THE BEE

very much pleased with tn e homely but delightful atmosphere of the play. The sterling honesty, and sharp in- sight into human nature, the keen wit and unschooled practical wisd Om of Uncle Terry combined with his ten der heart, make very admirable char acter indeed. The other parts are also interesting and well done. I am not much of theater-goer, but l have always contended and still believe that the stage could be made great power for good, furnishing relaxation from the strain of life and at the same time elevating life's ideals and tone. To wards the attainment of such a desira- ble end plays like "Uncle Terry" are helping. Yours very sincerely Rev F. L. Goodspeed.

the Dead River cabin that night to find one of the larger cabins, which was locked when they went away, opened and the rough table, surround ed with benches, nicely spread with tin plates, cups, etc., and hot, new biscuit and tea prepared for their con- fort. The care-taker of the cabin, Alva Dumphy, had come up from the nearest settlement, 15 miles below, and taking in the situati at glance, decided to surprise the hunters. So he opened up the cabin, made biscuit and tea and gave the tired Connecti cut boys an insight as to how the lum- bermen can enjoy life, even in the midst of the Maine forests. After supper the party bunked in. Next morning, bright and early, all were out in the woods after the elusive deer, with the result that on their return to Spring Lake three more deer were se- cured as follows: McEuan one, Hoyt one, and Caskey one. The afternoon was spent in tramping over the noun tain, but without results.
 On arriving at the boats at 4.3O p. m., it was quite dark. It was found that one Of the adventurous members of the party, MT Marsh, was missing, but after continued firing of rifles by the guides his answering shot could be faintly heard. Having located the direction in which he was, one of the guides and J. W. Hoyt started in search of the missing Marsh, who, as it turned out, was lost in a marsh. The guide proposed that Hoyt should stay on the trail while he went back after help. But MT H. did not fancy the blackness of the jungle and said, Mot on your life.' The rest of the party returned to the boats for supper and lanterns. MT Marsh never for one moment lost his head but kept working toward the guide, who was continuously firing his rifle. The guide did not dare to leave the trail till he had light of some kind, as it would have been impossible to locate it again. By heroic efforts Mir Marsh slowly worked his way through as dense swamp as the Maine woods boast, to talking distance with the guide and was soon on terra firma once more.

ever shot a deer, the favorites in the
 betting were A. G. Caskey, the fox hunter (recOrd for 1901, 400 miles tramped and 12 foxes securely, and the veteran hunter, James Marsh, with the boys, Hoyt and McEuan, as the field. Guide 'StandiSh started his men (Caskey and Marsh) in the direction of Flag staff mountain, while Guide Carville took the boys, McEuan and Hoyt, to the foot of the lake and started them on trails toward the Dead river, about One-half mile apart. At 9.29 a. m., or exactly p minutes after leaving the canoe, Mir Iloyt had secured his prize, beautiful buck with l6 points and
 weighing 175 pounds. Hoyt thus won the purse. The report was that Mir Hoyt could not find hat large enough for him, but after his experience with "buck fever" little later he had no trouble to find headgear. MT Marsh brought down the next deer, fine buck. This was perhaps the best shot made during the week. Wednesday morning the entire party took canoe trip of nine miles down the Dead River to Dead River dam, arriving there about noon. Nothing was secured in the afternoon, but what was the sur prise of the hunters on their return to

 The main topic of conversation on the Street, Monday, was the hunting expedition of three popular New Mil ford gentlemen and one New Preston citizen, the tangible results of their trip being exposed to view, Monday morning, in front of the store of Ack- ley, Hatch & Marsh, six handsome deer. Later in the day the deer were on exhibition in front of the store of Farmers Trading Go. At both stores crowd of interested spectators crowded in to learn just how the deer were sEot, how near they succeeded in getting to the noble animals of the forest and other interesting data.
