Roosevet's visit to Juja is finished. Thus unless
they arrange otherwise while sh1Pmates on the Ad-
miral while Mr. SelOuS may shoot with Mr.. ROOse-
welt at Theki or Juja he will not accompany any OF
Mr.. ROOSeVelt'S long SafarIS.
The lula visit however may be deferred to a later
date as Mr. Cunninghame IS keen to have Mr.. ROOSe
Welt come out with him a short safarl directly he
leaves Sir Alfred Pease and before the big rains
are stopped after certain game which IS most easily
had during the wet season
If such a short safari is arranged, it Is probable
that Mr.. Cunninghame viii take Mr.. Roosevelt to

As for the long safari in British East Africa the
choice is left Mr. Cunninghame 1t IS probable that
it will go by rail from NairObl west to h1Iabe
Naivasha, there detrain, circle the south end OF
Lake Naivasha ascend and cross the preclpltous
lofty wall of the Mau Escarpment and thence drop
into the Sotik country; for there on the LllnerlcN
Plains and along the upper reaches OF the Anaii
River is Cunninghame'S faVOrIte place for quickly
and easily bagglng tine specimens OF the more aooil-
dant species
On this route in four to five days march from
NaiVaSha. Mr.. Roosevelt Will be IN good shooting.
There moreover he will be in reach of some OF the
rarer species-withn two or three days march roam
may be had on the crest of Isuria EscarPment and

The Sotik safari finished, | shall expect to see Mr.
Cunningharne march the safari north from Ggn,
probably to and past Rumeruti Bona on the Guaso
Narok River, thence swinging west to Lake Barln8o
for greater kudu and lesser kudu; or perhaps in
stead, descending the northern Guaso NyirO River
and following it east along the southern boundary OF
