ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

OF the peace were gunuers who had
started out in quest OF the tooth
some reed bird. The real sports
men greatly regret the change in
the State law governing the killing
OF the bird and hope that legisla-
tion will be secured and the date of
the opening OF the season BET back
to September l.
The reasons Tor the change are
many and plausible. The birds
/ are in the FIRST place only arriving
here and hunting grounds upon
which to feed and they are driven
off before they practically arrive.
That the shooting In New Jersey
has anything to do with the law in
this State is sheer nonsense. While
the gunners there are gathering
poor birds, those on our marshes
are fattening and when they ar
rive unmarked they command better
prices and good results are OBJ
tanned daily by those who kill the
birds for home or market uses.
While the New Jersey gunner has
been in search of the Dlrd from
August 10th to September lst. the
bird has been driven to this shore
with the result that when the sea-
sou opened here the people were
benefited.
