rabbits says:
First catch your rabbit"
To-day is the first Of the present
year on which you can legally catch
your rabbit. Yes this is the day,
November 18th, on which the law is
"out' and the rabbit cunning sea-
son opens. BY the time this edition
Of THE DAILY REPUBLICAN is in the
hands of its readers, many cotton
tail will have given last expiring
kick, and many Il hunter will have
added to his stock of cunning anec-
dOtes. Rabbits are said to be plen-
tiful and hunting them is fair sport
The opening day was not alto
gether auspicious for tha fog early
this morning must have made seeing
difficult, and later when the sun
came out it was rather warm for
hunting But there will doubtless be
plenty of cold weather before the
end of the year.
The quail and partridge law is
also out. Cunning for them is rath-
er more difficult sport than in the
case of rabbits. The game is report
cd TO be plentiful, thanks to the
efforts of the Delaware State Game
Protective Association.
More than 1OC gunners went down
the State on a special Delaware
Road train this morning. The re-
