Ducking ON the Susq uehanns

The duck shooting season will shortly
open, and sportsmen who are fond of that
style of recreation will no doubt have a
good time generally. Duck shooting un-
der almost any circumstances is hard
work, and especially in cold weather,
though the sport is SO exciting that there
are plenty of men ready and to engage in
ii. The flats below Havre de Grace, at the
mouth of the Susquehanna river, is one
of the famous places for that kind of
cunning, and the amount of money in
vested In 1t by professional and amateur
shooters is very large. There are at Hav-
re de Grace quite a number of scows,
which are fitted out expressly for the
purpose and the furnishing of some of
them is really magnificent. Their owners
reside elsewhere; some In New York,
some in Boston, Others in Philadelphia,
etc. Thousands of dollars are expended
on them, they being supplied with every
thing in the shape Of guns, ammunition,
sleeping and table comforts that money
can purchase, and hence we infer that
there must be something more exciting
in bringing do wn the famous canyas back
than is possible for the uninitiated to ap-
preciate. But it is cold and not unfre-
quently perlious sport, very frequently
leaving behind 1t rheumatism, neuralgia,
pneumonia and a host of other ills.

Marie Roxe Again.

At the Grand Opera House on Monday
evening next, Marie Roze will give anoth-
or Of her charming concerts in which
she will render selections from that most
charming Of operas, "Il Trovatore." OF
this gifted artistic the Philadelphia Rec
ord says:
"She Is all that has been been claimed
Tor her. Her voice is truly wonderful,
and she Is gifted with an organ of surpis-
ing loveliness. Its soft, luxuries sweet
ness seems to glide into tho car, inspiring
sense OF perfect delight. But she is too
thorough en- artistic rely exclusively on
this merely physical gift. Those lovely
tones have been trained to express every
phase of emotion, ana it is astonishing
how they can interpret the fiery breath
OF passions as thoroughly as they can
thrill with the tenderness of love. Her
voice Is indeed versatile TO the last de-
gree, but 1t never loses that marvellous
liquid beauty which places the hearer so
completely under the spell of its fascina-
| ton. She Is an actress in the best sense
ofthe word, having studied to that de-
gree that all self consciousness appears
| appears to be lost in her thorough iden-
tification with the part she plays. The
| air, 80 Mic Fernando" )" in the third act,
was indeed too charming to express Ia
words, and was rapturously applauded
The house was crowded with a brilliant
audience, whose fiattering ovation to
| Mile. Roze was deserved by thai lady"
