GUNNERS ARE EAGER
SIauuhter of Marsh Birds Be-
gins Friday Morning.
GOOD SPORT IN PROSPECT
Wild Oats in Good Condition and
Birds Are Reported to Be
Very Plentiful.
GOOD SPORT IN PROSPECT

Scores Of gunners who are anxious to
get q shot at the reedbirds, ortolan and
blackbirds at dawn Friday morning, the
opening day of the fall cunning season.
have been viewing the marshes during
the past few days. They report that the
wild oats are in splendid condition and
that many birds are also there.
Blackbrds have been in evidence on
the marshes during the past month or
more and reedbirds and ortolan have
been coming more recently. 1t is pre-
dicted by the sportsmen that there is
a good shooting season in prospect, as
the marshes are in splendid shape and
the birds appear to be more plentiful
than they have been for a number of
years.
No Violations Reported.
The police patrol Of the Eastern
branch, where most Of the shooting is
done, has prevented gunners' from vio-
lating the law. It is stated that no re-
ports of violations of the law have been
made. and persons about the marshes
say they have not heard a single shot
fired.
the gunners to congregate, and the
sportsmen are already gathering there to
discuss the seasons prospects and to tell
Of the bags of game they killed in past
years.
Lieut.. Dean of the harbor precinct has
charge Of the work Of erecting signs
along the marshes to prevent inadvertent
violations Of the law. The signs are
staked at the 2O0-yard limit from the
bridges. shooting within such limit being
prohibited by law Shooting within a
similar distance of dwelling is also pro-
hibited, and the law against trespassing
applies along the shores of the branch
the same as it does in other places.
Marsh Filled by Dumping.
During recent years several acres Of the
marsh have been filled by the dumping of
the city's refuse along the Benning road.
Most of the filled area, 1t Is stated, is
within the 2OO-yard limit, but the filling
has affected the marsh at a greater dis
tance and it will be impossible for the
boats to reach places that were reached
several years ago.
Boats and pushers are in demand for
the first day Of the season, practically
all the skiffs having been already en-
gagged. Long before daybreak Friday
morning there will be a procession OF
gunners tramping along the road in the
direction Of the marsh at Benning, while
the more prosperous sportsmen will go
in vehicles.
1t is probable that some Of them will
go to Benning on a late car and spend
the night near the marsh in order to be
on hand at the dawn of day to begin the
bombardment before the birds get gun
fright.
Last night the police were told of the
theft of a small craft belonging to q. T.
Taylor of Good Hope road southeast. The
boat was taken from the foot of 10th
street southeast, and the police suspect 1t
was taken by some person who wants to
join the army of gunners Friday morning.

There Is plenty Of action in this week s

Cowboy and the Thief a four-act COM
edy Of western life. It furnishes enough
thrills for even the most ardent ad-
mirers of the melodrama. The scene is
| laid in Colorado at the Golden ranch,
and the play deals with the thieving pro-
pensities of the cattle rustlers and the
| justice meted out to such kind by the
| whole-souled men Of the plateaus and
mountains.
The play, staged by the author J. Wen

| touching love story centering about the
fair owner of the Golden ranch-a part
/ handled in commendable style by Marie
| Nelson-and a cowboy. played by Mr..
Davis All the characters familiar to

players went through their parts with
an earnestness than won the good will
Of the audience from the start.
In Miss Jane Babcock, who played the

| Her performance was clean-cut and
strong. She was unusually good in the
dignity and characterization that won the

Grand Steward of Scotland-that is. the
heir apparent-comes the hereditary
Lord High Constable Of the kingdom,
namely. the Earl Of Enroll. The Office
has been hereditary in his family ever
since il was bestowed by King Robert
Bruce i'm 1919 on his devoted companion
in-arms. Sir Gilbert Hay Of Enroll, along
with Slaines Castle, which, situated on
the coast Of Aberdeenshire, on the edge
Of a precipitous cliff overlooking the

Sir Walter Scott relates how this right
was exercised by the fourteenth Earl OF
Enroll at the coronation Of George III
This earl was the son Of that Lord XII
marnock who had been executed as
Jacobite rebel on Tower Hill few years
previously, and the knowledge or the
fact. together with many other emotions

and which have constituted the Princi-
rality Of Scotland ard the appanage Of
the heir apparent and Of the kings Of
Scotland since the days OF Kins Rob
ert III.
True the prince does not derive d very
large revenue therefrom, owing to .he
fact that in the course Of centuries they
have been let out on those ancient ten
urcs which constitute so strange and
Anticipated a feature Of the usages in
connection with the possession Of land in
Great Britain. Thus in the case of one
estate. the occupants thereof have been
compelled for the last four hundred
years TO pay annually to the Prince Of
Scotland or TO his representative a white
rose; another gets of with gold spur.
while from the Grange. the only portion
of the principality situated in Edin-
burgh, the Prince of Scotland receives
each year a silver spur. II is FOR this
reason that the young Prince of Scot
land will be in attendance on his father
and mother throughout their stay at
Edinburgh.
The Prince of Wales will have with
him Lord Balfour OF Burleigh. who is
Keeper of the Great Seal of his princi-
pality of Scotland and formerly repre-
scented the northern kingdom in Arthur
Balfours Unionist cabinet. He is a man
Of very striking physique. extremely tall.
broad shouldered in proportion and tow

pccrace. which dates from 1901 when it
was created by James l.. comes To him

namely through the marriage of Mary.
daughter of the fourth Lord Balfour of
Burleigh, To General Alexander Bruce. a
cadet Of the house of Bruce. of which
King Robert Bruce was a member and Of
which the Earl of Elgin is the present
chief. The peerage was attained by act
of Parliament in 17l4. owing TO the fact
that the son of this union. the fifth Lord
Balfour of Burleigh. identified himself
with the Jacobitc instruction. The at
tainder was removed at the instance OF
the late Queen Victoria and the title re-
vived by her in 1863 in favor Of its pres

The present Lord Enroll, who is the
