-Partrdge-sh is all the rage now
among the sportsmen, and in addition to the
scores of " good shots" at home, every days

and dogs eager for the destruction of these ia
vorite birds. We have heard of thirty par
trdges being bagged " by one gunner alone
in single day this fall, and should the most OF
