The opening article on Long Island sniping, Mr. Shinn's "California on Horseback," and Mrs. E. Kennedy's salmon story are also deserving of mention. The number concludes with the various useful records of sports and games...
...contains so many interesting articles that it is not possible to notice them all. There is nothing in the number that is not well up to the usual high standard of the Outing articles, while the number and variety of the pieces make the number unusually interesting. Rancho del Muerto is a serial story begun this month. The scene is laid in Arizona and the work is in the best style of romantic story telling. Following this is a pretty little poem entitled "Recompense," by Annie L. Brakenridge; the "Pheasant in Old Britain," by Charles Turner; a very amusing story...
