Reish, proprietor of the Potters Mills hotel, dined “The Regular Hunting Club” of which he is a member, The partic- ipants sre unable to express their de- light with the host's entertainment. The following address prepared by Joseph M. Gilliland, of Now field, was read by one of the members present ; Members of the Old Regular Hunting Club, Ladies and Gentlemen To we, ns the oldest living member of our club, a8 now crganized, the very pleasant duty of pre been assignod. This Hunting Clab hed its origin sixty-eight years ago In 1833 the Pal- mers, Gillilands, James Hayes and Wm. Esken formed a party to Punt for deer in Clinton Co., Pa, in a range of mountains in the lower end of Sugar Valley, extending to near the river ag Milton. This yarty continued their hunt exch fall in the mountafus of Clinton county and in that part of the Alleghepess embraced in the western and Clearfield counties until about the year Prior to deer were almost unknown in the Seven Moun- tains, but as the native rantber aud wolf began to retreat by fore ization, deer became wore plentiful in this range and from this time on these pioneer hunters confined their buntings to the Beven Mountains Abrut the vear members of this party ; in 1854, Hemy Fry joined 1865, thlity-six ears ago, became a member.

I recall one instance in which he shot two magnificent bucks, ene with each barrel of his rifie before either cone reached the ground after the first jump from where they lay. Those One other marked feature of this club remains to be spoken of, and that is their fondness for fun. No other o'gauization that I have any knowledee of can compare with us for real eu- joyment and a rollicking good time. My memory carries me back to some of our old campiog grounds Slate Ridge, Kettle Gap, Spring house Field, Underwood's saw mill, the post pile and others. My imagination pictures some of the famous cromings—Indian Path Big Break, Tan Kill, Band Kette, Grass Mountain, Hemick's range FOE Spring 8 hare the articles : : Remember we where, Path and Crow Ficld.
