REEDBIRD SHARPSHOOTERS.
Two Clayton Sports Have an Evenlful Gun
ming Trip to the Delaware City
MarshIands

As the moon shone bright and the
clock was striking the hour of 3 a. m.
last Saturday morning there might
have been seen two of Clayton's pop
ular spOrtsmen vending their way
from their respective residences to the
depot to board the train for a days
outing among the reedys.
Ihe two were quickly aboard and
were soon on their way. They took the
baggage car, and reclining on the bag
gage, dreamed of the pleasure in store
Tor them. 1t was not long before they
were aroused by the stentorian call of
the baggage master, who yelled out,
Porters. The two were off with
box, tools and reedbird paraphernalia
and at a. m. they doffed their street
costumes, dOnned their working and
cunning uniform, and were found
footing it down the railroad track des-
tined for Delaware City, five miles
distant. They reached the latter place
at a. m. Contrary to their expecta-
uOns the sun was not obscured, nei-
ther was it hindered in its rising by
the fiOcks of reedbirds which they had
so pleasantly and with such pleasure
dreamed of while en- route. Neither

other with low boots and wide brim

Thus did they continue until 10
o'clock, when they agreed to try the
sport at another point near by. So
tHaey boarded train for New Castle.
On the way they were the objects OF
much attention and if they could have
escaped the gauntlet of some Of their
friends or slid under q car seat, they
wS would have been happy to do so.
1hey were soon upon the marshiands
near New Castle, and the two wearily
went until all their strength had been
spent, when between them they agreed
