GGnners got busy yesterday in many
States and in the District OF Columbia.
Reports indicate that both rabbits and
birds are plentiful and that there will
be good shooting for those who get
good start. but in some places both
ra bbits and birds are much scarcer than
was expected. In Virginia and Mary
land the hunters had a fair day with
partridgcs.
Those who expected to have the time
of their lives on the opening day Of the
ducldng season on the Susquehanna yes
terday did not have a vast deal of luck
because of the fog which hung over the
fats in the morning, but when the fog
cleared away. ducks were plentiful and
enough were brought down to make the
trip worth while.
Washingtonians' Luck.
Among those who took a chance at
the ducks on the Susduehanna were
Lawrence o. Murray. Assistant Secre-
tary of the Department of Commerce
and Labor; George II. II. Moore. Of the
United States Fishery Commission, and
Elmer Payne. of the Associated Press.
These three Washingtonians were early
on the ground, and while they were
bothered by the fog. managed TO get
twenty-three blackheads wheE the
weather cleared. About 1890 a. m. the
breeze freshened so that it was neces-
sarY to go ashore. Mr.. Murray said this
morning that it was his first experience
with ducks, but he thought they were
abundant although old-timers COM
planned that the shooting was worse
than for some years. Mr.. Murray was
particularly anxious TO get "a canvas
back but those foxy birds flew so high
that they could not be reached even
with rife.
