Rabbit hunters have only got until
the end of this week for the enjoy
ment of the sport, and a number OF
them are putting in all the spare
time they have in getting after the
bob tails. The winter which has just
passed was bad one for the hunters
because Of the deep snow and it is
probable that the number OF rabbits
killed was smaller than for several
winters. Much of the snow has now
disappeared however and the sport of
running the game can be carried on
much more successfully at present
than at any time during the past sea-
