The reed bird season at Port Penn
this year has been successful. The
four Del Ferrara brothers of Phila-

dozen. Robert II. Chadwick and two
friends killed nineteen dozen and
other gunners bagged smaller num-
bers. Reed birds at and near Port
Penn are very plentiful especially in
the mornings and evenings. They
fly in thousands from the feeding
grounds and the gunners take advan-

New Castle gun for sport and not for
the money.
