HUNTING, FISHING AND SPORT A 0,000 prize bull, owned by John H. Arfmnn of Middletown, N. Y., died last Saturday. Swallowing a nail was given as the cause of the bnllN death. There were 308 deer killed in Shasta County. California, during the recent open season, according to reports of the fisli and game commission of that" county. Oysters, usually so. plentiful in Alabama, are scarce this fall, because a good many oystermen are now catching shrimp, with which the waters abound.- Shrimp fishing lias doubled in volume during the past six months on the lower Alabama, coast and gulf bays. Newell Harker of Toms River, N. J., recently shot a ten-pound English hare at Cedar Grove. Twenty years or more ago .Pierre Lorillard put out some English hares at his stock farm at Jobstown, Burlington County: From that time on a few hare are shot every season. Sportsmen af The. Dalles, Oregon., liave subscribed to a fund which is to. be Used to blast out the: rock and construct a fishway over Celilo Falls alKve the great Seufert cannery. These falls, twenty feet high, have stood as a harrier against all but tlie strongest fish .which sought to get into the quIH wafers of surrounding creeks. Consequently fish have never populated these streams in great numbers, so sportsmen, intent upon securing good fishing in them, are raising a fund for this purpose.
