A REVIVAL OF FALCoNRY.
It's Cruelty Defended ms Being Less

From tho Pail Mall Cozatto

It's Cruelty Defended ms Being Less
Than That Inflicted by Shooting.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Considering the sport obtained during the
past autumn, it Is surprising that falconry
is not a much more popular pastime. To
| some extent. no doubt, expense is in the
way, but this need not necessarily be so
very large as is often represented. We
Know of some scnoolboys who have had
very great fun with birds of their own pro-
curing, and whose pocket money is rlgidly
limited. One has merlin, which has been
the death of many larks; another has a
sparrow hawk. which has proved the bane
of black birds: a third has procured the
most beautiful flights of all with a kestral
that seems to have quite overcome its native
affection for mice, and has taken to hyinC
at all sorts Of medium-sized fowl No doubt
the modern humanitarian may object on the
ground OF cruelty. but the common-sense
point of view Is in contrast with the gun
which not only Is more destructive. but
dangerous as well. And hawking never re-
suits in the infection Of suffering, an in
Fiction incidental to the craftsmanship Of
young gunners.
This consideration applies to adult as well
as Juvenile sportsmen. For instance, com
pare the hags made even by a most sue
cessful falconer and a dead shot. with a
goshawk Mr.. Boynton has killed since the
middle Of September 1914 rabbits in thirty-
-FOUR days What gunner would think of
Do'SIiiis doohl oil average OF SIX per diem ?
Even his best day-twenty-four in twenty
four flights, though it argues luck and skill
far past average attainment-would be a
very trivial result of a few hours good
snoot1Eg. The excellent seasons bag re-
corded by Mr.. Newall. forty-six hares, three
rabbits and six miscellaneous birds, would
be trivial for even a weak gun. And every
nIe taken with falcon means far more
amusement than is to be derived from mere
ly pulling trigger. Again, it may be point
ed out that in heron hawking many falcon
ers rescue the bird ere it is injured, and let
for life.

Arrangements have been finally completed
for Crossing and connection between the
kensington electric road and that. Of the
Capltil Traction Company at Chevy Chase
power house. The cost, owing to the heavy
forsngs at the crossing Of the Baltimore
ana Onio tracks, will be about 500. Not
Only will this obviate the unpleasant walk
at the transfer. hut 1t will reduce the running
Tune so as to enable passengers from the
baltimore and Ohio local trains down to
take the electric cars in time to reach the
city before business hours. Arrangements
are on foot looking to the adoption of a
5-cent fare for trans:ents from kensing-
ton to Chevy Chase circle, thus making a
lucent fare To any part of the city. In
that event each alternate car on the Chevy
Chase line will be made through car to
kens ngton giving a twenty-minute service
at all hours of the day, except during busy
nours and emergencies, when the service
will be doubled. The unexampled success
