81, Kent county, on the northern edge
OF Dover, do not take kindly to the House

persons so transferred but little beyond

also lover of sport
The DIRECTORS laid particular stress
upon the provision relating to woodcock

them just the same as for partrldgej and
rabbits AS matter OF fact no wood

November and the months when they
are most sought after by gunners are
July and August. The visitors said that
the old law was right as regards them
aud Chairman Fenimore agreed with them
aud consented TO an amendment TO cure
that defact.
Mr. Cubreth, In answer 10 a remark
made by Chairman Fenimore that he
would like to have some birds to turn
out on his place, said that no good had
resulted from the distribution Of birds by
the Delaware Game Protective Associa
