Boars on Horseback. Preserves are nothing new. New Hampshire's 25,000-acre Blue Mountain Forest Inc. was stocked in 1890 with deer, antelope, moose, elk, caribou, and Himalayan mountain goats. Railroad Magnate Austin Corbin chased boars there on horse back with javelins. Today, there are nearly 2,000 preserves in the U.S.-most of them open to anybody with a box of shells and a handful of greenbacks.

Over at Eagle Shirtmakers, Inc. in Quakertown, Pa., the boardroom boys fretted over an industry shortcoming: too many clothing manufacturers cloak colors with such drably unimaginative names as dark blue or light tan. Eagle proposed a contest for more colorful descriptions, as a starter suggested navel orange and whizzer white. Along Madison Avenue, and in Mineola, Mamaroneck and Montclair, the game caught on. Eagle has been deluged with a chromatic list of imaginative new colors. Among them: gang green, forever amber, sick bay, hash brown, dorian grey, hi ho silver and statutory grape.
