Changing the Inauguration Day.

To the Editor of The Evening Star;
The American people are much indebted
to Senator Hoar for his proposition to

Protection of Robins.

The Maryland Game and Fish Protective
Association has decided to introduce a
clause in the game bill about to be pre-
sented to the state legislature prohibiting
the killing Of robins at all times during the
year. With the exception of four counties
in the state, it has heretofore been lawful
to kill robins throughout the entire year.
Not long ago, when preparing bill look

the association deemed it advisable to re-
strict the killing Of these song birds to a
period from August Is to December "a. So
many communications have been received,
however, asking that it be made unlawful
to kill robins at all times during the year

A Pretty Sight.

Saturday evening was almost perfect,
and nearly every body in the city was
out to witness the naval parade, which
started about o'clock, from the boat
house, circling in and out and up and
down the bay for about an hour. There
were nearly a hundred boats in line,
and many of them deliberately and ar
tisticallv decorated. The launch Nahna,
owned by Manager Kelly, of the Land
and River Co, led the procession and
following were sail boats, row boats and
launches of different kinds and sizes.
The passenger boat Estella" was out
on the bay loaded with people, and had
on board band which discoursed sweet
music. Many of the homes along the
bay front were the scenes Of gay COM
panies invited to view the parade, and
several tug parties we're also given. Mr.
Pearl Smith invited about sixty friends
out on the tug Medina, and this party
spent a most delightful evening. From
every point of view the fete may be
considered a success, and will, no doubt.
become one of the annual events in Su-
