Delaware Bay Birds.

"Dash," under date of "Delaware
Bay Shore, May 49," writes as follows
to AteLd and Afoat:
/ have had right good sport with
the brown-baoks, ring-necks and yel-
low-legs this week, which have just
commenced their northern flight. A
party of two of us (Jim S. and myself
bagged SO last Wednesday.
Monday and Tuesday were very hot
days and the birds commenced to fly,
and Tuesday night we had tire.
mendous wind and rain storm, and
the wind cut around to the westward
and thence northwest, and the birds
came along lively.
We had No. 10 muzzle. leaders, and
did not use decoys, but merely shot
from blinds scooped out in the sand.
l don't know how many we would
have killed had we used hreech-
leaders, and had had a plentiful sup
ply of cartridges. We each shot away
half-pound of powder and two
pounds No. 8 Sparks chilled shot,
and you can judge from our score
that we didn't miss many shots, as
the highest number killed at any One
shot was four (yellow-legs).
The flight will last about week
and by that time you will have the
birds up the river along your marshes.

WHAT PRESIDENT HINCKLRY AND
OTHER X. r. OFFICIALS SAY.

WHAT PRESIDENT HINCKLEY AND
OTHER r. r. OFFICIALS SAY.
Tie Philadelphia Inquirer says !:
PRESIDENT Hinckley, of the Philadel-
! phla, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail-
road Company, in reference to the re.
ported purchase of a majority of the
stock of the West Chester Railway by
ms company, said that the company
had not made the purchase-as yet.
VI acted" said he, con my own per.
sonal responsibility, and the directors
have agreed to transfer the stock to
me-"
MIR. Hinckley further stated that lhe
transfer of stock would take place to-
day.
Then" said the reporter, "the
West Chester road becomes, practi-
cally, your own personal property ~
"For the time being" replied Mr..
Hinckley 'but, of course, I should
not have bought the road unless | had
known that the company would AXE it
Off my hands, or had seen some other
way of making it profitable.
"There is no doubt, of course, that
both companies will now ratify the
bargain ~
ooh, no." replied Mr.. Hinckley,
'my action was indorsed in advance.
l was fully authorized by general con-
| sent of the board, and it is safe to say
that the West Chester directors will
stand by their work. They are men
whom | have always found thoroughly
to be relied upon. The negotiation
really is not settled yet but the trans
fer will take place on Wednesday,"
Zone of the statements contained a
reference to desire on the part of your
road to prevent the West Maryland
road from getting an avenue into this
city; was that the truth Or guess
work ?"
"1t was certainly not the truth.
That Is about all care to say at pi es-
ent. Remember that the purchase is
not to be spoken ofas an accomplished
fact until after the transfer"
The President of the West Chester
81 Philadelphia Railroad, Mr.. Farnum,
was reported to be out of town, but at
! the residence of another official the
statement OF an evening paper, that
the stock was purchased at par. was
confirmed, with the additional item of
information that any changes that
might ensue would take place on the
