quality among sportsmen, the ability
to recognize faults in his own dog and
has made frequent changes during the

enough to attract attention in a, con-

WORCESTER'S BIRD DOGS.
List Not Exceeded In Any
County of the
State.

~
The opening of the bird shooting sea-
son is. scarcely tUo weeks away. Sept.
Is is the day that is marked with big
red letters on the calendar of every
sportsman, and the trigger finger is al
ready beginning to Jingle in anticipa-
ton of the opening of the season on
ruffed grouse and woodcock.
The dog that has moped and pinned
for a day in the covers and the gun
that has rUsted and busted during the
long months since the close season be-
q gan, VIII this week be brushed up into
: condition for a renewal of acquaint-
ance in the brush.
The opening of the bird shooting sea-
son is awaited with ill-concealed i'm
patience by the small army OF Wor-
cester sportsmen that annually sallies
forth into Worcester county covers,
than which, by the way, no more pro-
life are to be found throughout the
length. and breadth of the common
wealth, for a crack at the elusive part
ridge and the transitory woodcock.
For, after all, what is to be compared
with the keen delight of a day in the
brush behind an intelligent and appre-
ciatiVe dog that seems to enter into the
zest of the sport, and whose marvel
lous intelligence furnishes no small
portion of the sportsmans delight as
he. watches his work in trailing, or
stands, forgetfnl of his game, in admir-
alton of his staunchness as he freezes
into a point?
, Worcester has long been famous for
the number and ability of her hunters
and the number and quality Of her bird
dogs. There is no tftruer coterie Of
sportsmen in New England than gath

AS evidence eof the awakening inter-

opening of the season is noted the in
creasing number Of followers of the
sport in the covers that nightly have
assembled at the .spertsnan's elysium
in the Day building during the past

SPAIN CLAIMS ISLANDS.
Are Not or.h Negotiating For, as
They Are of No Material Benefit.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.--The islands
in the Philippine group referred to in
the Madrid dispatch as not having
been included in the treaty ceding the
not regarded by the members of the
Philippine commission as of any inn
porta- te, and no regret, they say,
need be felt if the statement
should prove correct. The opinion
was expressed by one of the
commissioners Tuesday night that the
islands referred to are not worth
negotiating for, as they would not be
of any material benefit. They are not
thickly populated, and their commerce
is small, as the islands are out of the
way of the regular ocean travel. The
terms of the peace treaty placed the
northern boundary of the limit of ces-
sion along or near the goth parallel of
north latitude. The islands of the
Batanes group are north Of latitude
90, and if the parallel should be
strictly adhered to they would not
fall within the scope of the treaty. A
careful study of the maps prepared in
| Manila for the use of the commission
ers fail to disclose the Catalan islands.
The suggestion is made that the terri
tory meant is the Calayan islands, be-
longing to the Babuyan group, which,
lying south of the goth parallel, come
within the scope of the treaty.
