| Summary: | railway sport The term "railway sport" needs elucidation. Twice a year the caribou in Newfoundland migrate; in the spring they move from south to north, and in the autumn travel back from the north to their winter feeding-grounds. It happens that the railroad from St. John's to Port-aux-Basques intersects a main route of migration, and immense numbers of deer cross the line, the bulk of them reaching it near a station called Howley. This is the spot haunted during the earlier part of the shooting season by the "railway sports," for it is often possble to shoot the three stags allowed by law without walking out of sight of the metals.
