DOVER, Del, Dec. 4.-The Delaware
Game Protective Association, which IS
having the busiest season in its history,
will now be able to do just what has
been the ambition of its father, l. N.
Mills, of Clayton, who is now its secre-
ta,y and treasurer-tO stock this State
with breeding game.
So successful have all the sportsmen
been this season that Philadelphia and
Baltimore gunners have kept Secretary
Mills busy issuing nonresident licenses,
which are S. for the first year and 81 for
each annual renewal.
The associations executive officer, N.
H. Hutchins, has been at work all over
the State since the open season came in
detecting and arresting nonresident
violators, but most OF these visiting
sportsmen 30 arrested have been released
upon the payment Of the license.
A number of arrests were ordered at
Georgetown on Friday Of men who had
shot for market and shipped their spoils
to points inside the State. Each took out
license for $25 rather than undergo ar
rest.
The officers then went on the hunt
for Jack Harris, a gypsy chief, who is
said to be the greatest marksman ever
seen in Delaware. Harris drops nine out
of every ten quail he shoots at and never
misses a rabbit.
This wandering nonresident could not
be found, but Lawyer Charles l.. Moore
appeared as his counsel. Upon his de.
manding proof, the association showed
that the lawyer himself had received a
brace OF partridges the night before from
Gypsy Jack, whose liberty had been
saved in another case-of assault-by
Lawyer Moore. The license was quickly
taken.
As . result Of this heavy collection Of
fnes-all OF which 60 to the association,

the game association is about to place
important orders for breeding game to be
distributed in Delaware by January /.

HORSE TALK.

Sunlight and pure air are potent ele-
ments in promoting health and vigor
in horses as we'll as other stock.
Generous feeding of the growing
colt will surely result in q larger and
smoother animal than if it is allowed
to grow up on the farm as best it can.
The horses used for blowing and get
ting out the corn and other work on
the farm will be as well off without
shoes as with them. Try it.
If all grooms and herdsmen realized
the Importance of their making them
selves agreeable to the stock they han
die we would have fewer unruly, nerv-
Gus and worthless animals.
Since the time of the revolution
horses have been steadily increasing in
size. Mr.. Wallace believes this to be
due to the importa ton of larger horses
from abroad for breeding purposes,
and selecting the largest of their
progeny to breed from.
AT the time the first importations
were made from great Britain and Eu-
ropean countries they we're much
smaller than at the present time. Ac-
cording to the evidence collected the
colonial horses of Virginia about 1850
were nearly all between 10 and IA
hands, and that for 100 years they had
retained the peculiarities of their Eng
fish ancestors of the reign of James 1.
in color. size and gait.
