whom own their boats. 1t is a crowd of
good natured fellows, who spend money
freely in equipplng their boats with all of
the necessaries for comfort, and II they do
not accomplish as much as the profession
ais in securing game. they at least have
better time.
The duck boats in these waters are built
after the plan of the modern half-rate rae
ing boats, which have created so much
interest in the northern lakes and coast
IA feet in length and to
6 feet beam, and are equipped
with a sail. which is used when
the hunter is going to his hunting waters
and returning home. A scull oar, about u
feet long, is used as a rudder and also to
propel the boat when in pursuit of game
The boat is entirely enVeloped in brush
work which represents as nearly as posi-
BILE the surrounding scenery, in order to
conceal the hunter and deceive the cunning
game. Inside of the boat is complete lit
tie home, so arranged that the hunter can
live on board for months in comfort and
contentment. This unsuspecting and ap-
parent clump of bushes is supplied with
kerosene oil stove, cooking utensils, pro-
visions a bed. blankets, guns fishing tack
lie, water tank, decoy ducks, and in fact
all the comforts of home except electric
lights and water meters.
The sportsmen spend their days on the
salts below the city and in the inland lakes
and creeks UP the Savannah river.
The duck season is about over, and as
there is considerable competition and Jeai-
ousy among these Sunday cutters they
have turned their attention to fishing and
racing. Every fellow thinks he has the
prize racer, and during the past month
the crowd have had several races to de-
eide which boat is the champion The
contest has been lively and exciting. The
races have taken place in Back river
on the north side of Hutchinson Island.

The last two races have been won by the
same party, but 1t is claimed that he
worked a scheme of tying tomato can to
the other boats, which held them back.
AS there was no one outside of the con-
testants to referee the races, there is no
way to judge their fairness. All have
agreed to "toe the mark" hereafter, and
the race arranged for to-day is expected
to be exciting. The prize winner is to re-

ship Madlana arrived at her pier Monday
evening. an agent of r. F. Downing & Co.,
custom house brokers, was on hand to
receive six casks of old Jamaica rum
shipped from Martinique to his firm. Only
five barrels were brought out for Down

was about to be abandoned, when a long
shoreman discovered a barrel of rum
among the passengers baggage on the
other side of the pier
Here she is, sang out the man. A
longshoreman ran up with a handtruck
just as the room steward came down the
passengers gang plank.

70 the professional platform he has al

which do not conflict with his business in

Dt Mr.. Bates as a pastime during his
leisure hours when he has been engaged
IN Photographic work. 1t is in a semi
humorous style, not on the Josh Billings
order, as might possibly be imagined from

Bates is a writer of no mean ability. His
recent contributions to the leading pho

interest in Photographic circles. His work
