ENGLISH HUNTING SEASON.

Antagonism Between Men Who Follow
 Foxes and Those Who Shoot Birds.
 4shootin', huntin and racin'' remain to-day as they have for ages, the main source of occupation and amusement of thousands of Englishmen who have the worldly means to gratify their wishes in this expensive manner.
 The huntin men are just now in op- position to the shootin' men, for where there is a hunt country the foxes are held in high favor, almost like the sa- cred bull in India, and the shootin mans pheasants suffer in proportion. Hence there is constant strife between the secretaries of the various hunts and the men who preserve game. The House of Commons has just been en- gagged in an interesting discussion on the question of compensation for far mers for damages to their crops by game and the high law officers of the Crown find it difficult to state exactly what it means by the word.
 They have promised to bring forward a definition of the term so that there shall be no further confusion In the meantime there is no reduction in the cost of giving full play to ones predi- lections in the sporting line. There are no dollar licenses in this country, which enable any man or boy to go forth, armed with a cheap gun, to slay pheasants, cartridges, hares and rab- bits at will. Britain has not yet reached that democratic stage, Moth ing has bowed the knee more reluctant ly to the spirit of the times than the game laws of this country
 It is not so many years since Parla- ment took the prohibition off the shoot ing of ''vermin, which includes rab- bits, at the hands of low born people.

cause of so much concern to Gold smiths co-tenants as that of some pth- CT of the poets guests, It was the it- tie supper parties to Goldsmith's young friends of both sexes that drew from the studious Blackstone, hard at work on his famous Commentaries" in the rooms below "Goldie's," the bitterest protests against the racket of his "re- yelling neighbor,"
 Both "The Traveller and "The Vicar of Wakefeld' were published soon af- ter Goldsmith moved into Brick Court, but the income they brought him was insufficient to withstand the drain made on his resources by his eXtrava- gance, his generosity and his taste for gambling. Owing two thousand pounds, unable to obtain further advances from his booksellers, and seeing no way out of his endorsements, Goldsmith broke down in spirits and in health. He had to leave those windows from which he used to watch the rocks in the grove. which once stood where now is Elm Court, and, as he wrote, "often amused himself with observing their plan of policy" Goldsmith returned thither, nevertheless, to die, and though he was carried to his last rest ing place through rows of weeping wo- men, the Benchers of the Temple ap- pear to have valued him so little that the very place of his burial has been allowed to become forgotten. For that neglect the new tablet comes as tardy but welcome reparation, London Tri- bune

went out early the next morning, but the poachers with their excellently 'trained dogs had been ahead of them. ana all that was found in the vicinity or the hedges was a series of fresh hob nailed foot prints
 The king is at present shooting over his own preserves at Sandringham. where he is entertaining a distinguished party The daily bags of game are something prodigious and both the king and the Prince of Wales who are excellent shots, carry large number of birds to their credit. The Prince of Wales In particular is magnificent shot. He has often been known to have three and even four dead birds in the air at one and the same time. which means four successful shots, with two guns, all in the space of time it would take to tell It. The ordinary shot who manages to get off a right and left with one gun boasts of his achievement for days.
 There are a number of men in Eng land who manage this circuslike per- formance of killing three to four birds with one change of guns. Lord Des- borough, better known as MT, Willie Grenfel; Earl de Grey, Aubrey Lowe and Prince Victor Dhuleep Singh. the latter the son of the former owner of the Kohinoor diamond, are all expert shots who could give Buffalo Bill points in the art of shooting. Earl de Grey never lets off his gun at a bird unless he is absolutely certain of killing It..
The daily morning journal and courier., 1906-12-20

One had to be able to trace one's an- cestry far beyond the middle ages to receive permission even to carry a gun. Even now the poor man is debarred by reason of the expense. Anybody may procure license but it costs three pounds and after that, suppose he has provided himself with a gun, he must find a place where it may be let off, Everything is preserved. There are no open spaces for shooters.
 Farmers become tenants for the great landlords on condition that they give up the shooting rights over their farms, the game being kept for the exclusive use of the landlord, who eith- CT shoots the game himself or lets 1t to some one else. If the farmer happens to be ploughing his fields while the shooting party Is abroad he finds him. self obliged to unhitch his horses or get out of the way so as not to interfere with the sport by driving the birds away. The game laws are kept with strictness that would do credit to the military system of Germany, and yet there are more poachers In England than in any other country in the world,
 l was out with a party last week, and owing to the indifference of our dogs we lost half dozen wounded pheasants in the course of the day, They ran into thick hedges where the dogs would not go, and so it was deci- ded to wait until the morning, when, with fresh and better dogs we could recover the lost birds.
