HARRISON AND HIS QUAIL.
HIS JRA1Ps IN THE FIELDS FIELD a
FAIR SUPPLY or CAME

hunting party and three dozen deud Quail ar
rived in this city Just before o'clock this even
inR. Tho days sport had not been wildly OK
hflarating although the fresh air and healthy
exercise had done all tho party, and especially
the President elect, a world OF good. The party
arose at about o'clock this morning and
breakfastod aboard the car. q tempting
spread being prepared by the negro cook, who
belongs with tho establishment. Immediately
after the meal Capt. Bates's team took the
party out into the country three or four miles
in n direction different from that taken on tho
previous day. When the carriage was turned
back the party set out to hunt directly south
over tho big PRAIRIE
The day was beautiful one. much better for
hunting than the previous day. the wind being
less violent The quail however, wero scarcer,
and there was no other game scared up. except
rabbits. Gen. Harrison wouldn't shoot them.
He was like the colored man who went fishing
for catfish. Catfish was what he wanted. The
General wanted quail, and had no use for the
fun OF killing 1t.
Most OF tho morning the General hunted with
Mr. Bradshaw. whose pair OF Irish settlers
proved tho excellence OF their breed and the
care taken In their training. Altogether he
brought down eleven birds during the morn
fnR. About dinner time they passed near the
house OF Farmer Sam Malone. who came out
into his fields and insisted that they
should come and have something to eat
with him. What with hangers on from Dana
and the farms about. and with another hunt
ing party that had come from Newport. the
county seat. there was quite n crowd but Mr..
Malone invited them all to come along, and he
spread in his big dining room table with
provender enough to feast q hundred. The
whole comaany had q regular indoors winter
picnic, and left Mr.. Malone destitute OF pro-
Visions. but very proud and happy.
The General himself and his party remained
only long enough TO get q little bite. and then
