AMONG ROYAL spoRrsMEN.
Points OF Difference Between King
and Prince Of wales.

AUO ELlnCG OA " lEB-
There Is no finer marksman among
grouse shooters in Great Britain to-day
than the Prince of Wales. Who even on
a moderately stocked moor. does not con-
slider it a feat to bring down with his
own gun a hundred brace of birds In d
day. According to the Gentlewoman, II
the King has never reached such PIN
nacle Of excellence IN that dif4cI,i: de-
partment. it is not TO be forgotten that
his reputation as a deer stalker was made
many years ago.
This difference in attachments between
father and son is In measure a reflex
of their differences in temperament To
be able TO shoot grouse calls for some
thing Ike instructive precision. The birds
are driven by heaters, and frequently fly
down the wind at more than the speed
Of an express train. The sportsman must
have quick eye, uuerTing Judgment and
the most unwavering decision.
The genuine deer stalker, on the other
hand, must have within him the qualities
of the born statesman. There must be the
most calculating judgment, the finest self
control under quivering excitement. and.
above all, the ability TO take advantage
of every opportunity as 1t arises.
When the King goes grouse shooting
there is no attempt at record-breaking,
for his majesty has no hankering after
full bag. To pass an exhilarating after
noon on the open moor under conditions
that send the party home pleased and
slightly exhausted. with just sufficient
of incident TO create a little amusement
for the rest of the evening, is his
majesty's ideal days sport.

Many who do not have hammocks or

privacy of indoors when the sun rises in
the morning and wakes them. 4 tour Of
