DUCK AND QUAIL SEASONS

The duck and quail season In Los An
geles county will open on October 1st. and
both are being anxiously awaited by the
many sportsmen In this vicinity. All but
one OF the duck clubs will have their usual
preserves this year. The Greenhead Gun
club is the unlucky brother, in consequence
OF march the Orange County Gun club
stole on them In securing lease Of their
preserves. The preserves formerly leased
by the Greenhead club are situated in Or
ense county and have been famous for the
mallard ducks that are found there. The
lease on the grounds expires October 23d,
and naturally the members Of the club in
tended to renew 1t. The Orange county
people were early in the game. however,
and succeeded in securing the lease ahead
of the local club. The boys did not relish
this much, but they took the defeat In
stoical fashion and made the best of a
bad matter by rejecting that they would
be able to enjoy a little bit OF shooting
from October 1st until October 23d, when
their lease expired, but they were doomed
to disappointment. According to reliable
authority, the board Of supervisors Of Or
ange county passed law cutting down the
duck season for one month. by making the
season open November LIST, thus shutting
out the Greenhead club. The local men
are negotiating for other grounds, however,
and 1t Is likely that the club will still be
in the field this season.

the birds were young the records are very
good. An attempt was made Sunday a
week ago to fly the race. but owing to a
misunderstanding the birds were not lib
Grated until nearly dark, so that event was
