LoNboN, LON BUN : August 1s.-The opening OF
the grouse shooting season has been
responsible for at least two records, 81
record for bags and q record demand for
guns. 4
Magnificent weather has favored sport,
and birds were found plentiful, strong
on the wing, and healthier than has been
the case for many years. SS
The shooting, however, has not yet be-
come quite general. many Of the best
moors never being touched till about the
2Oth, though, i considering the advanced
state OF the birds, there seemed no ren-
son for putting off the pleasure this
year. # & n Ill 5
One Of the most remarkable shoots last
Monday was that in which one OF Eng
lands foremost shots the Prince OF
Wales, took part. ills Royal dlghncss
and party OF six guns bagged 5o7 brace bracc' ?
of grouse on Lord Ripons moors at
Dallowgll. Yorkshire.
The Duke OF Devonshlre's party, at
Bolton Abbey, including Lord Lurgan.
the Earl of Essex Lord Stanley, Lord
Farauhar, the Hon. II. Stonor and Mr..
Arthur Sassoon, have been having great {
sport. For instance. on one day. between
breakfast and lunch, their bag amounted
to 231 brace the proceeds or three drives.
In the second drive the Duke OF Devon Devon
shire himself was credited with twenty
nine birds
The newly welded MARQUIS and Mar. Mar
chIoncss OF Butte. who are entertaining a
party at Mount Stuart, in the Island OF
Butte, for the grouse shooting provided
for, their friends the other evening, a
cinematograph show. the pictures given
being the representation Of their own
wedding and attendant festivities at Cas-
TIC Bcllingham. 5
Among the American visitors on the
moors IS Mr.. Archibald Roger. OF New
York who has leased shootings IN sur
lingshire for the season.
Along with his sons, he bagged thirty
four brace OF grouse on tho opening day.
Mr.. j. II. Smith Is. another American
who Is entertaining a party for grouse
shooting at the place he has rented IN
Scotland for the season. Among MS guests
arc Lady Cooper and his sister, N with with
Sir George and Mr.. George Gould. Mrs.
4 Gould was not we'll enough to join the
party. l+,,S,
Mr. Payne Whitney who has this sea-
son taken shooting over Holwiek moors'
In upper Teesdale, has arrived there
though he did not Intend disturbing the
BIRDS before the end of this week, but
there, as elsewhere, large bags are cX-
pected.
One Of the most striking changes this
season has been almost universal intro
d,tction OF the automobile. In the con-
l5veyance OF shooting parties to the moors
1t is likely entirely to dIsplac. even the
hill pony. S as \,
~ One accident Is reported since the
I opening of the season.
While the Dowager Countess of Kin
tore was out driving the other day, near
Bauacr, an automobile came into COLI
sion with her carriage. One s. the horses
was injured, and the vehicle damaged.
! The Countess, suffering from shock.
was conveyed by automobile to her resi-
dencc, Darrack Lairey.
