that II was promptly withdrawn. as its
author says, 'to remove those Imperfect
lions In the first representation which
we're too obvious to escape reprehen-
sion and too numerous to admit OF hasty
correction One Of the flaws in the
piece TO which the first night audience

jected was its extreme length. Yet sheri-
dan tells us that when he fret put 1t into

in the end, to quote Sheridan again. his
feeling for the vanity Of a young author
got the better OF his desire for correct

PHEASANT SHOOTING IN CHINA
Variety Of Game Found Amsng n
Royal Tsmbs.


Four hours by train southwest OF Pekin
lie the Hsi Ling, or Western Tombs, the
mausolea Of the reigning dynasty. The
tombs lie in q largo parklfke enclosure con-
tanning some sixty square miles OF broken
billy country In which the Chinese are not
allowed to settle and which may not b
ploughei up. In consequence Of this It h
a refuge for all kinds OF game and about
the only sure find for ~phessants within
easy relch OF Pekin.
A kind Of chnmois (the Indian go1D
and spotted deer are found on the hishAP
hills and are preyed on by the panther
and tho wolf. A soon as the frost sets In
for the winter the Chinese begin shooting
the pheasants. and although they seem to
do their best to eIterminAte them g sVod
many apparently escape and provide the
stock for the following year.
The birds are shot over dogs. some q
which have really good noses. though in
Appearance they differ In no way from the
scavenRon Of the village streets. II pos
sible a anne hawk Is also taken out to mark
down birds that are missed or not fired at.
The man with the hawk takes his stand on
a commanding hill and the hunter with
his dog proceeds to draw oun him. II
the dog puts up q pheasant which is missed

which can be ired at, the hawk is at once
loosed and pheasant and hawk disappear
together. The hunter reloads and followe
and nnds the hs wk by means Of a small
bell attached to it's back probably sittins
on q rock or tree stump.
HI then sends his dog In to put up the
pheasant. which is invariably hiding In .
thick bit OF cover within q few yards Of
the hawk. As long as the hawk Is sitting
thAre the poor bird will neither run nor ny,
and thus falls an easy victim to the hunter
In his way q couple Of Cinnamon with Q
gun, a dog and q hawk make comparatively
large bags in places where the foreigner
vainly attempting to walk UP his game
with a stra egling line Of useless Chinese
heaters will probably only get a few saosa
in a day. and certainly never find a pheasant
again which he has once missed.
On the stonier hills. where there Is less
cover. chikor are found In considerable
quantities and give very fair sport. except
for their interchangeable powers Of running
uphill. but the chinese keep them stii
by using q hawk. much as a Kite is noNn
at home. and OF course would not hesitate
TO slay them on the run Along the streams
fighting hard to keep open in spite OF the
severe frost. q few duck and snipe may
be picked up. the latter heavier and plumper
birds than regular spring and autumn
visitors.
