THE PROTECTION OF GAME.
Opposition From MiddletOwn to a Bill
 Before the Legislature.

Opposition From Middletown to a Bill
 Before the Legislature.
 Middletown, Feb. 14.-when the pro per time comes several sportsmen from here will appear before the legis- lature committee on fish and game in opposition to the bill introduced, which if passed would prohibit shooting quail partridge and woodcock for period of two years. Any bill to prohibit the killing of quail for given period would receive the support of all true sportsmen, presumably throughout the state, from the fact that these birds have become almost extinct, mainly on account of the intensely cold weather which prevailed last winter. Those that did survive have almost as severe conditions to contend with this winter, and if they live through until spring they ought to be protected at the ex- pense of the state.
 People familiar with the habits of cartridges know that they are suffi- ciently hardy to stand the most intense cold weather and need no protection beyond what the present law affords. It is very doubtful if any one who went afield much last fall can be found who observed any perceptible falling off in the number of cartridges from that of the year previous. Reports from diff ferent parts of the state during the hunting season of 1904 shows conclu- sively that there were partridge in abundance. Reports from the same section emphasize the fact that com paratively few quail were seen.
 The same is true of woodcock that applies to partridge. These birds were more plentiful in Connecticut last fall than for sevreal years before. Com paratively few native woodcock are bagged by Connecticut hunters later than the middle of October. Subse- quentto that time nearly all of the birds that are bagged are what are known as flight birds.'' That is, they are from northern sections, on their flight south to escape the approaching cold weather. Sportsmei here will sup port any measure for the protection of quail. &.5@~
