GAME Law.-When the Legislature OF
Maryland meets again there will be an effort
made by the true sportsmen to pass such an
amendment Of the game laws as will prevent
the utter destruction or driving away OF the
water fowl from Chesapeake Bay and its at
fluents 1t is alleged that the bay, and rivers
running into it being the natural habitat CT
LARGE numbers of water fowl in winter, as 1t
supplies them with unsurpassed feeding places,
there would be an abundance OF game found II
they were not driven away by unsportsmanIlke
devices The law to prevent wholesale de-
struct,on limits the season during which game
may be killed, but this. is not sufficient, and
now it is proposed to have such change III the
law as will abolish the artificial blinds that
from natural points are made to project hun,
dred yards or more out into the water, ana
also forbid the use Of decoys on the land. so
numerous have those artificial blinds become
that the ducks can find no safe feeding place
and are being all driven away. If there IS not
some legal protection given 10 the manner ask
ed, the canvas backs and other famous game
birds will all be driven southwark to the streams
of Virginia, North Carolina and South Caro-
lima. At particular points they are still plenty
but their number bears no comparison with
what it was ten or fifteen years ago. During
the present week ducks we're plenty at Lynch 5
but shooters few. At Rocky Point Burnet,,
son and one OF two other sportsmen have Killed
hundred canvas-backs and u number OF others
