TRAPPED BIRDS IN NEW-JERSEY.

The promoters of cruelty in the shooting of
trapped pigeons can no longer slaughter the
gentle creatures within the limits of this State
but they are active in their operations on the
other side Of the North River Only few days
ago eight hundred Of the birds were butchered
in few hours by competing wing shots upon
the grounds Of the old racetrack at Guttenburg.
where many frauds and abuses We're prac
tised in midwinter contests for several years.
While the Hudson County ring was intrenched
in power great cruelty 10 horses was perpe
trated by racing them IN the most rigorous
weather Of winter The arena of such brutality
10 animals has now become slaughter pen for
helpless doves
For long time pigeon shooting matches and
tournaments were on the increase in this State
until public sentiment was aroused against the
massacres of the birds. At Albany in 1901 the
bill to put stop 10 these wrongs failed of
passage because 1t was introduced late in the
session. and some tricky devices of It's enemies
at the close Of the session prevented It's success.
This year the measure was brought forward IN

good season, and the press and the public in
sisted so emphatically that it should become
law that the opposition in the legislature was
soon overcome, and when it was finally adopted
the votes against it were few. Driven from the
Empire State the pigeon sayers have sought
refuge in New-Jersey, and unless legislation
against them IS put in effect promptly the
butcheries of the victims will be greatly multi
piled. There has been already far too much Of
this form of cruelty in our sister common
wealth. Too many pigeon shooting clubs and
too many professional organizers of tourna-
ments and matches have been busy in New-Jer-
sey
Now that New-York has set a good example
in putting stop to this evil, will the legisla-
tors at Trenton consent to tolerate it? New-Jer
sey suppressed midwnter racing and betting
rings and pOOlrOoms years ago. She surely
should not be dilatory in prohibiting the mercl-
less killing of pigeons. Assembly bill No 112,
now before the legislature. is similar in its pro-
visions to the law which has been adopted in
New-YOrk with the hearty approval of all hui
name people. That bill should find place on
the statute books of New-Jersey before this
session of the Trenton lawmakers is Over-in
fact at the earliest day possible. Delay will

thousands of birds. Let them shoot all the clay
pigeons they like, but the live pigeons should
be protected from cruelty.

TILE HOHENZOLLERN,S PART

Prince Henry having returned in safety from
his travels In the United States, the German
Emperor will now look with no little eagerness
for the arrival of his yacht, which was recently
reported from Bermuda and Will soon be due at
the Azores. Possibly the Emperors motive in
sending the HOhenzollern to New-YOrlI has not
been fully cOmprehended and appreciated in
this country. She constituted a secure. COM
Portable and dignified habtatiOn for the Prince
during the brief periods when his engagements
permitted him TO make use Of her, and doubt
less that was one of the considerations which
led the Emperor to send her to this port to
await and receive him. But it may fairly be
assumed that her imperial owner also and par
ticularly designed TO indicate thereby his deep
personal interest in the amable and compli-
mentary mission intrusted to his brother.
The Hohenzoern is not regarded by the En-
peror merely as a serviceable member of his
fleet which has been appropriated to his private
use and for which he could readily and without
regret substitute some other vessel. On the
contrary. she is an object of affection. and, to
stretch the proprieties of speech a trife, the
apple of his eye. Many authentic reports have
been published about the relief he finds from
arduOus labor and the constrants of his posi-
ton when he is aboard his yacht, and it can
easily be perceived that ii must have been n
serious sacrifice not only to spare her for
couple of months, but to expose her TO the risks
Of two transatlantic voyages at a tempestuous
season OF the year. He unquestionably desired
her presence here to be included among the evi-
dences Of his sOlicitude that his brothers visit
should be interpreted n conclusive proof OF
goodwill and promote far possible such
state OF feeling between the TWO nations as
would render misunderstanding difficult here
after. With that end in view he directed the
officers of the HohenZollern to admit the Amer
lean public at all reasonable times. and thou
sands Of visitors were in fact received by them
with the utmost courtesy and chcerfulness.
1t would be a mere repetition 10 say anything
more about the agreeable impression which
Prince Henry made everybody who met or
saw him in this country. but It may not be
perfUous to suggest the Hohen2ollern's init
mate connection with a significant and fortu-
nate undertaking
