Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) SHOOTING BLACKBUCK: SOUTHERN INDIA A Frenchman has the credit for attributing to the English the phrase "What shall I do to-day? Let me go out and kill something." The sarcasm is not without its truth, and not without its reproach, for it is true that sport in the eyes of some persons seems to have degenerated into a mere matter of killing. But this certainly does not hold good of the true sportsman, who alone and on foot hunts big game in India or Africa. Skill, endurance, and often a high degree of courage, are required from the sportsman, and these qualities are often found combined in the big game hunter. To-day, as we see, it is the harmless blackbuck which has fallen to the rifle, to-morrow it may be the more formidable leopard, or the 11king of the jungle," the Bengal tiger himself.
