Hero is tho very latest story about hunting wildpitjs. We wish oar Liberal contemporaries to understand that this is - a bard fact—noUwickod invention of a capitalist press. Tho scene of the story was the eastern Puketois. Two huntsmen had put up 11 wild pig, which took distance in a hollow rimu. Tho pis-dog followed. Whon tho dog had been oalled back, ono of tho huntsmen crawled into the tree to get a shot. Ono shot was fired, and an awful stillness following, it was considered pretty certain the quarry was dead. The dog was put forward apain, and giving voice once more, was again recalled. Another shot was fired, and again everything was 8B still as tho grave. This twice repeated programme was again repeated; when tho pig-hunters roturnod to camp. Next day tho tree was explored. Bjplt -Firsttrip,dead pi?; result, seloud trip, doad pig; result, third trip, another dead pig. Each shot Bred had resulted in the death of a good-sized pig, rolling fat.—Pahiatua Star. Judging from tho scoring in the North Wairarapa Gun Club's match anyone not knowing the ground would imagine the shooting to he verypoor. This, however, is not the caso by any means. It very seldom occurs that a bird is killed - stone dead and falls where he is hit, and un this account the' distance' is a radius yards from the thirty-one yards peg. _ Owing to a publio road being on ono Bide of the ground, the boundary on the sides behind the shooter is only fif« teen yardß m a straight line. This makes a big difference as shootists aro roally competing in little moro than half a circle.
