terday Was . shoe-box parade when the
special train pulled into the function
with 246 participants ticketed from Ran

tion in the midst of a horse trot and
looked as though the crowd bad gone
down prepared to eat their boots on any
sort OF a wager. However, at luncheon
time the boxes proved to contain things
leather. Thirty from this way took in
the fair Tuesday, and 81 went this morn
ing. A crowd estimated at from $4,000
to 40, 900 were on the ground yesterday.

Hunters in Randolph find a greater
abundance OF partridges than usual this
fall. owing to the long dry season, in
~. I'D has rf-h ed
nicely. Now they seek the edge of the
a diet of apples and water afford some
kind of sustenance. Gray squirrels. that
are to be killed only for food consump-
ton within the state and cannot lawfully
be transported or sold, are not noticeably
numerous in this section, which is per-
haps fortunate, as their stores of beech
nuts are likely to be decidedly curtailed.
Though plenty of burrs have fallen since
the frosts, they seem to contain mostly
shucks without meats-a condition OF
things for which the drouth is doubtless
responsible. Local Nimrods, while good
shots, are not likely to break the law by
killing more than five partridges, hye
woodcocks, five gray squirrels or 20 wild
ducks or geese in one day. Thirty-five
partridqes or woodcock, in all. are al
lowed to person during the open season
which closes Dec ]. Until rain makes
the danger of forest fires less. it is hoped
the birds will be left IN peaceful posses
sion of the woods. undisturbed by the
cracking of what might prove to be
firearms indeed.
