THE entertainment for the benefit OF
the Milford Fire Department, which is to
take place in Dorsey Hall on Thanks
giving evening. is a move in the right di-
rection to encourage our worthy fire
workers in the noble efforts which have
marked their past service. That they
stand sadly in need of and deserve proper
equipments is an unquestionable fact.
and it is to be hoped that our citizens
will turn out in force TO see the ever
laughable farce of "Box and Cox, " which
will be presented upon that occasion by
a strong company Of home talent. There
are many, perhaps, who though inter
ested in the success of the affair, will for
various reasons be unable to attend, but
their interest can be manifested in the
of tickets; which can be pro
cured at the Office of Mr.. Frank Richards.

Ooneerning the Game Law.

There is great deal of uncertaint,
about the new game law and nearly
every interested man you meet uses hi,
own Interpretation OF it.
Many sportmen say that the cunning
season will begin this year as it did last
year, on November IS, aud that the
change IN the law does not go into effect
until 1894. Men who are interested in
! sporting matters are bothered these days
giving interpretations and reading the
new law. The section which causes the
confusion is as follows
Strike out all of section I of chapter
5o7, volume II, Laws of Delaware, down
to the word 'or," in the eighth line, and
insert in lieu thereof the following
That from and after the passage of this
act 1t shall be unlawful for any person in f
the State Of Delaware to hunt, kill, take
or destroy, sell, or expose for sale. or
take in his or her possession, after the
same has been killed. any partridge. quail
or pheasant, before the first day of Nov |
ember, A. D., 1894 and from and after
November Ist, 1894, it shall be unlawful 4
to hunt, kill, take or destroy, sell. or ex-
pose for sale, after the same has been
killed, any partridge quail, or pheasant.
except between the first day of November
and the first day of January in each year.

The ambiguity of this law was discuss
I'd at the meeting of the State Game Pro-
