A PRESENTATION TO ST PAUL'S.

St Paul's Episcopal church of the Center has just received present that is so valuable as to be simply priceless, when its associations and the supposed lmpossihilityof securing it is considered. It is the portrait of the Rev Menzes Rayner, wh' was rector of that church from 1911 to 1928. The picture is a large one, it having been made from an old-time daguerreotype which were becoming all the rage when the Rev Rayner was getting to be an old man. Just where MT Bear lsley unearthed the original picture he fails to state but the enlarged portrait is one of which the church should be proud. It is of value aside from it's subject as it shows the dress and style of that day with much fidelity. The vestry of the parish will at it's next meeting accept, in @ proper way, this gift and will provide a suitable place for it to be hung. The subject of the picture was born in Hempstoad, h. l., November 23. 1770, and dieA Novem- Der 22, 1850, thus lacking but one day of being so years of age. As has bean stated he Was rector of St paul's parish during the years of 1S11 to 1926 and it was during his rector ship that the present church ediiice Was built, the former church having been burned. He WAS postmaster of Huntington during the years 1926 1927 and thus combined, as was not
 unusual in those days, the functions of spiritual advisor and distributor of earthly messages. The Rev Rayner became Mason, January 22, 1872, joining Washington lodge. No. 19 of Monroe on that date, and he was the W. M. of that lodge in 1S16-1S18, and was chaplain of the grand lodge Of the state during the years of 1S17- 1925. He officiated at the wedding of the parents of MT Beardsley, and it wa'' while trying to learn something

Just see what that would amount to in one season; more than the total killed by all their other enemies in 10 years, in my belief, Suppose man kind -the greatest eneny of the grouse by ten-fo!l-should adopt the plan of leaving the season as it is, or lengthenlng 1t, would not that be going into partnership with the other worst enemies of the grouse and ere long annihilate them? Our friend also speaks as one having authority, when he says there never has been poor breeding season in New York, and he does not believe there has been anywhere else. Now, l personally know of several nests that did not hatch an egg here in Connecticut two years ago (90G and the season was so wet and cold it killed a great many of the young that did hatch. Now, gentlemen and fellow sportsmen (including our friend from Schuyleryille), say, without fear of contradiction, that there is no better way to propagate and protect the noblest of all game birds, the grouse or partridge, and at the same time to give the sportsmen some pleasure to shoot, than by es- tahlishing state game preserves where the birds may live and breed lnmolested by mankind. At the same time the shooiing seasun should be shortened and the nuE Der of bird, to be killed during the season re- duced, so as to give the birds so per cent of the increase and to the sports man 40 per cent; then the birds are bound to increase, and when the birds increase the sportsman's pleas ure also increases. Even the pot hunter is happy.-[E. Taylor.

 Editor Forest and Stream: I plead guilty to being one of those ignorant person that wants to save the grouse by horiening the hunting season and cutting down the limit to kill during the season. Your Schuylerville cor respondent in the issue of April IT says we hear a good deal more from these persons than their intelligence warrants" But I wish to inquire if our friend does not think that short ening the season to nunt will have a tendency to save the grouse? Furth- CT, 1 am not quite satisfied with his explanation of this six or seven-year wonder, the goshawk, how he goes and comes, and how he slaughters and disposes of his dead. Our neigh Dor does not want the sportsman to say anything about cutting short the hunting season to save the grouse, but believes they should do every thing to destroy inc hawks, foxes and enemies of that kind. But has our neighbor considered that years ago
 when the grouse were plentiful, we mad just as many hawks, foxes and such enemies as we have now? Who is t then that kills the grouse? It is the man that carries the gun and other traps, and l am one of them, and have b3en for over 50 years. AL though ignorant in this matter, l know whereof speak. can remem- Der when on an average, through the the state of Connecticut there were not three men in a town who could kill grouse on the wing. We had plenty of awks and foxes-more than we have now-and grouse, so n ST ak, as plentiful as sparrows. admit the hawks and foxes kill gor1 many grouse, but mankind is responsible for the lion share of the destruction. Ihave passed the three score-and-ten year mark, and plead guilty to doing some of it myself and hope to do a little more before I leave for the happy hunting ground; but I sincerely hope the law willrestrict us. so that the birGs will increase in spite of us.

There were intermis- sions of 15 Sundays and there was such sleep as could be had in the intervals Of walking. As a result of this effort, we are told Weston is in good spirits. in good physical trim, and thinks. at least for the moment that he could make the return journey in 90 days, with good weather and good luck.
