The Delaware Game Protective Asso-
ciation offers reward of $40 for the ar
rest and conviction Of any one violating
the game laws For the information of
gunners it is unlawful to shoot quail or
rabbit except between November 18th,
and December 31st, inclusive. Another
thing for gunners to know that non-resi-
dents are not allowed to shoot game in
the State until they have procured IL
cense from the members of the above as
sociation. All true sportsmen like to see
the game laws respected as it is only by
having such laws that cunning is often
one of the sports SO many like to indulge
in at least once year. It is pity that
fishing cannot also be included in the
sports as being protected by suitable laws
passed by the Legislature.
