HAVE been requested by our brother sportsman, "â¢Coquina," to write a chapter for his book, and have been intrusted with the one on the Antelope. I therefore cheerfully submit the following, and throw myself on the tender merqies of my readers, know- ing that several men who have written on this beautiful and interesting animal before me have left little that is new to be said.
