THE STALKERS' PARADISE.
STEWART ISLAND AS A DEER PARK. INTEROARGILt, May 1. lb is now some years since deer were firet liberated on Stewart Island, and many
followers of the stalking 6port have waited anxiously for this season, when the "Southland Society decided to issue licenses. Messrs Tanner and Ufield, who have been deerstalking in the North Island for the past 20 years, have just arrived in Invercargill after a visit to the island. They bring excellent reports regarding the herd. These stalkers think that the island is the finest deer park they have ever seen," and full of magnificent specimens. All the deer, they state, are well grown and good conditioned. The heads they also thought were magnificent. In every way the visitors were greatly struck with the possibilities of the island in this direction, although they do not believe that H anything in the nature of heavy shooting should be allowed for a few years. Carefully watched, Stewart Island should be one of tho-best parks in Australasia before long, declared Mr Tanner.
