First of Y. M. c. A. Course Given-Next
One October 8.

At the opening lecture of the automobile
course, offered this season by the Newark
Y. M. C. A., given in their rooms. at 107
Halsey street, Tuesday night, were
seventy-five men interested in the sport.
Winthrop e. Scarritt, former president of
the Automobile Gu OF America, made
the opening remarks. i'm which he told
of the increasing usefulness of the auto
mobile, the large number of business men
using it for business and pleasure, and
some of the improvements made in it's
construction. He also spoke of the value
and practically of an automobile course
similar to the one Just beginning, and con-
graduated the Newark association and
the men registered for the course, upon
securing Clarence B. BTokaw as the
instructor.
Mr.. Brokaw, who is the consulting auto
mobile export in New York city, was then
introduced, and, aided by stereopticon
views of various engines and their parts,
gave a general survey of what 1t was
proposed to cover by the course. The lee
ture proved interesting, and at its close
a number of men registered for the course.
AS this course is Endorsed by the New
Jersey Automobile and Motor Club and
the Physicians Automobile Club Of New

of the largest garages in the city, the

LABRADOR GROUSE.
No More Delightful Sport Than Hunting
These Birds.

Newfoundland has two varieties of the
Totrao lagopus in the willow grouse and
the ptarmigan. In structure of body, eggs,
nest, fall and summer pluAage, the, New
%foundland willow grouse is an exact dupli-
cate of the Scotch grouse, the only differ
ence being that the island bird turns white
in winter, says the New York Commercial.
The Terra Noyian ptarmigan, in APPEAR
ance and habitat, is also precisely the same
as the Scotch.
An enthusiastic sportsman intends to try
the experiment of introducing the willow
grouse into Scotland. 1t is anticipated
that cross-breeding from such Il strong
and vigorous stock will nave a good erect
in combating grouse disease In the British
Isles.
There is no more delightful form of
sport than shooting these fine birds over
Well-tralned logs on the breezy Newfound-
land moors locally 'barrens',9. The bags
are not heavy, ten brace being a good
days work. The birds have been too
much shot over lately, and the Legislature
has, very wisely, prohibited all killing for
q year, also extending the shooting time to
October ], instead of September 10. 1t IS
TO pc hoped this measure will have good
results, and that the splendid game bird
will be preserved. Most of the best shoot
ing Is on the south coast about St. Mary's
and Placentia, and in the northern part
of Conception Bay. In the far interior the
birds are tame as chickens. A few are
met with on the caribou barrens.
Snipe, ducks, geese, plover and curleW
are common, and in some places abundant.
