what Kind or Duck to Buy.

John Chamborlin the celebrated cook
and restaurateur, knows more about
the qualities of all varieties of game
than any man in this vicinity. Con-
corning the red-head and canvAsbacls
duck he says: There are canvas
backs and csnvasbacks. No two breeds
are exactly alike, though big and
plump canvasback duck Is about tho
nearest approach to gsstronomio
heaven that we have thus far been able
to discover In tho nineteenth century.
Tho very best canvasbacks are born
and killed in our section. You can buy
them, according to the bill of fare, in
every oyster house in New York. But
l am sorry to say that guile and decep-
ton exists there al elsewhere In the
world. In Washington and Baltimore
prefer the canvasback. In New York,
except in a small number of famous
restaurants, which | could name, con-
slider the red-head the better of the two
ducks to buy" SMITH d. Fry.
