 Conditions conspire against the automobilist who looks for deer while speeding along our picturesque woodsy roads, but we are seldom out that we do not see partridge or quail, and Monday it was ruffed grouse, a large brood, a pretty sight, precisely like the pictures with which we are famil- jar. None of our party had seen the birds until these, that were probably offspring of those let loose by Col. Hall some time ago. The mother bird stood at bay by the roadside, at tracting attention by her ruffled up plumage, while her family scurried out of sight among the leaves, one game. little specimen spreading his wings and tail like miniature turkey cock, as if expecting to dismay the swiftly moving automobile. .t..: South Wilmington.
