BIRD SHOOTING. Judging from the reports
not the birds-local sportsmen bring in,
small game is very plentiful in this vicinity.
One hunter reported last Friday night that he
had shot "the limit" on that day, and in proof
thereof, as exhibit A.. displayed woodcock
that tipped the scales on the prescription
counter at A. A. Howes & Co.'S at a fraction
over ounces. A brother sportsman who hap
pened in examined the bird and said he had
one at home quite as heavy, but when the
owner proposed to bet on his bird, with Weshe
to hold the stakes, the proposition was de-
clned. A local marketman charges that some
of the sportsmen save up the results of a
weeks shooting to claim big bag on a single
day, but as the large amount of game brought
in might affect his sales of liver and pot roasts
he may be predjuiced. Mention of liver re-
calls little incident of many years ago. w.
| w. Castle was at that time one of the most I'M
firing and successful sportsmen in this city
and he was close personal friend of the then
editor of The Journal William H. Simpson
One day when the present writer was in the
Journal office Mr.. Castle brought in number
of woodcock for Mr.. Simpson. on which fear
the writer cast covetous glances. Enquiring
of Mr.. Simpson day or two later how he
liked the woodcock, he replied, "Just as soon
had liver" We have always felt that those
birds were wasted.
The extreme low prices being given every
Saturday at Perry's Market is only possible
through the management's ability of buying.
