there were but few birds killed. Mr..

rail and king rail These are prob.
ably the highest scores Tuesday. The
other guuncrs made bags running from
8 to IS rail and from To- ~ reed birds.
The reed birds are scarcer than they
have ever been known To be on the
Elk river marshes at this season. This
may be due 10 the cold weather in the
latter part Of August, which some be-
licvc drove the birds South. while
others are OF the opinion that they will
be here in the usual numbers later on.
They are a'so reported scarce on the
Delaware marshes Nothing definite
can be told about the numbers OF rail
