the officers who are expected to enforce the
law toward stopping the illegal shooting,
although it met with many protests on every
hand from gunners who are well disposed
There was some increase in the number of
outfits licensed this fall. Some which have
not been on the flats in the past two or three
years will be on hand when the curtain is
rung up on Monday and there are those who
have not shot here until this season who have
taken out a license. 1t is not probable that
the number will, however. reach what it did
few years ago. but there was n considerable
falling off last season, and part of this num-
Der will be regained. The various boats
which are used here by visitors from dist
ance have been arriving at Havre de Grace at
intervals for a week or more past. On Sum
day there was quite fleet OF them lying at
anchor in the harbor here along with the
local votes.
Among these boats might be mentioned
the steam yacht Sanibel from New York a
handsome white boat, with everything about
her as spick and span as n government
cruiser. Charles r. Flint of New York, who
represents in this country the Brazilian
Government, will occupy her during The f-st
months shooting Mr.. Flint was one Of the
very first of the New Workers who came to
these flats 70 shoot and has been keeping it
up one year after another. He is regarded
as a very fair duck shot and hard weather
gunner, never stopping for wind or rain
while anyone else remains.
Another worthy mention is the steam Yacht
Charlotte. of Long Branch, n. J. owned by
Mr.. Patton, who has with him as his guest
Phil DAILY, Jr., the noted trap shot. who a
few days ago defeated Jack Winston in 100
bird race; The schooner yacht Nautilus, of
Philadelphia, was one Of the first to arrive.
This is very roomy and comfortable boat
owned by a party of Philadelphians, who,
after shooting here part of the season, will go
to the North Carolina sounds and then on
the Florida waters.
Most all the available boats are chart
cred for from three days to month by per-
sons from different points. George Gould
| has the Bought Twice chartered for month,
and will have his headquarters at the club
house of the Narrows Club, the most exclu-
sive club that shoots there. Mr.. Gould shot
there to some extent last season, and It Is said
became very much infatuated with the sport,
