A MIXED BAG
Mr F. DA. C. De L'lsle writes: — There are few sportsmen outside of New Zealand who would believe it possible for any one man to make the following bag within a radius of 50 miles in 21 days. Yet it has been done. This was the bag : Quail, 51 brace ; pheasants (cock), 43 brace ; pigeons, 90 pair ; swamp-hens, 21; wild pigs, 16; wild goats (big horn). 4; wild goats (small horn), 13; wild horse*. 5; hares. 63; rabbits. 94; stagb. 4 head (one royal) ; fish (rainbow trout, brown trout. Loch Leven trout, brook char, khawai, and eel), about 3001b. Such a. bag would make any sportsman's mouth water to think of. The bag was made in I three weeks by the writer in the North ' Island about the year 1903. during a i holiday, within a radius of 50 miles \ around Featherstone.
