PHEAsANTs SUCCESSFULLY BRED.
The experiment of breeding English
pheasauts and California quail has given
most satisfac DRY results TO the game COM
mlttee of the Jekyl Island Club. When
they first took possession Of the island 5, 600
native quail, 100 pheasants and few Cali
IOrDla quail were Imported. Inc native
birds were turned loose, while the English
specimens were bred by the gamekeeper
At the end of the first season more than
1,000 young pheesants we're hatched. And
1t has since been found that they are breed
ing rapidly in the wild state, something
which has always been deemed impossible
by the English gamekeepers.
Like all Injuries JekyI comes high, and
1t costs member from "a to IS per day to
live there exclusive of dues and other assess
ments. The services however, is excellent,
and the cuisine rivals even Delmonico's
According to the constitution of the club no
member or any OF his family can occupy
apartments for any longer than two weeks
in one season should they be desired by
other members. There is some talk of build
ing another club house, so popular was the
island during last season. There are now
eighty-three members enrolled in the Jekyl
Island Club.
