EYESIGHT
To spot the Rabbit three times out of five at 60 yards, also to distinguish and map out correctly six Pleiades and see clearly the " Pappoose (Alcor) on the Squaw's (Mizar) back," counts an honor; to spot the Rabbit three times out of five at 70 yards and seven Pleiades and the Pappoose, counts a far-sight high honor. (Those who habitually wear glasses may use them in this test.) (See Far-sight," among the games, p. 149.) To make a 75 score in ten tries in the game of Quick-sight, with ten counters, counts honor ; a 95 score counts a high honor. (See " Quick-sight," among the games, p. 148.)
BIG-GAME HUNTING
(By permission of the Camp-fire Club of America) Inasmuch as Hunting Big Game must be recognized in our list of national outdoor sports, it should be elevated to a higher plane by the adoption of these rules, because they tend to give the utmost prominence to the many admirable features of the chase, and at the same time reduce the total sum of destruction. To have gone alone into the haunts of big game, that is to say, without professional guide, and by fair hunting, unaided by traps or poison, or dogs (except where marked " d "), have killed and saved for good purposes, in absolute accordance with the game laws, any of the following kinds of game (or others of a corre- sponding character), counts honors as below: Each species counts one honor; that is, one Tiger would count one honor, ten Tigers would not count any more, and when he gets his Tiger, his Moose, etc., the sportsman is supposed to stop so far as that species is concerned. The presence of a professional hunter reduces a high honor to an honor, and if he took any part in the actual killing it does not count at all. A native gun-bearer is not necessarily a profes- sional guide.
