Next In Importance is the mallard, and he

though 1t Is comparatively easy to kill, the
DUCK Is scary to an extreme degree. Blind
shooting is the method most generally en-
ployed, although In some parts of the coun-
try bushwhacking is the favoritc mode of
warfare The bushwhacker provides him

out, and skiff. which he uses to sneak on

several other species. all of which have
devotees, but when a hunter speaks of q
mallard he refers to a black mallard. 1t
differs from its brothers in that 1t is only
partially migratory, many remaining dur
ing the spring and breeding in the seques-
tered marshes.
1nere are numerous other varieties of
ducks. but those mentioned are the ones
most sought after hereabouts. In years
gone by, before the advent of the steam
launch, duck shooting on the Potomac was
| a favorite sport with the hunters. and no
one ever thought the supply would wane.
There are just as many ducks now as ever,
but they don't linger in the upper Potomac.
The steam launches often carrying a doz-
en- hunters, are after the ducks all the
| time. chasing them hither and thither and
soaring their wits nearly out of them, until,
tired of the unequal battle, they take wing
and have a somewhat easier time in the
creeks or broad parts of the lower Po-
tomac
But the steam launches are not alone re-
sponsible for this condition of affairs. The
big gunners. pot hunters. do deal in
the way of frightening off the ducks. Their
favorite method IS to watch a flock Of
ducks until twilight. Then, with their skiff,
in the bow of which is a large gun, too
heavy 10 shoot from the shoulder, and
loaded with half a pound of powder and
twice as much shot, they paddle noiselessly
upon the unsuspecting game and slaughter
great numbers. Many are wounded but
the pot hunter has time to go after
single ducks. and so they get away. only to
meet lingering death in some hidden cove
or fall prey to the hawks Legislation I'm
both Virginia and Maryland prohibits these
modes Of killing ducks but the officers Of
the law are few and far between, and there
is seldom a conviction.

Dispute Over a Game.
A great deal of uncertainty as to the out
come of the game which was played Satur-
day between the Gallaudet College and
Rock Hill foot ball elevens exists. The

the game by superior playing. Gallaudet
made a touchdown in the first half. and in
the second half started out in fine shape and
made another The Rock Hill boys pro-
tested, and said that the. latter was made
while time was called to allow one of their
players to recover from a knockdo~n. The
captain Of the Gallaudets claims that the
referee, Mr.. Sullivan of Rock Hill. gave the
game to his team by the score of to 0, dis
allowing the last touchdown. 1t is also
claimed that the game was forfeited to Rock
Hill.

challenge TO any team in the District, the
Gallaudet College eleven preferred. The Po-
tomacs state that thay are willing to play
series of games with the Columbia Athletic
Club and the Orient Athletic Club. and it is
most likely that if such a series is arranged

pend upon it, as there are no other foot ball
aspirants for championship honors in the
field this season.
The Potomacs say that the Gallaudet team
refuses to meet them second time. 1t will
be remembered that the latter team defeated
the Potomacs ;by a score of to o. and now
that the PotomacS want return game the

 In South street, Now York, there is an Italian who runs Yankee notion stand He speaks English after fashion, but cannot read Q word of it. This fact has made him an easy prey for heartless joker
 His stock of goods includes almost ev- erything from peanuts and chewing gum to suspenders and waterproof jumpers Until recently he had displayed no pla- cards, giving the prices of his wares, but the other day a man offered to paint all the signs that the Italian needed free of charge. The offer was joyfully accepted. The signs were painted and placed in po- sition. Crowds wore attracted to the spot, and visions of sudden wealth danced be- fore the Itaiian's eyes. Here are some of the inscriptions painted by the mounte- bank:

 They were prominently displayed near tho top of the stand, but they were eclipsed by these little lower down:
 "Peanuts, raw or roasted, $2 a pint. Must be eaten hero"
 "Suspenders baked, fried or boiled, with edible buckles, 20 cents plate. ''
