ing in the Office of A. Royal Il Co. Of all
the sportIng-men in the city-that is, al
fond Of blrd.hunting. The object OF
the meeting is TO try aud adopt some plan

the best game would be lost, but

weather and many others we're caught ana
kept cooped up until tho cold snap was
over. The idea has been advanced That

Of al association for the above purposes
