GOOD GAME OUTLOOK

Georgetown, July l4.-Indications at
this time seem to point to an abundance OF
game this fall, and unless the heavy rams,
which usually occur during August and
September, and severe winter weather,
should kill the birds, sportsmen OF lower
Delaware will have good season. Rural
folk state that partridge and rabbit have
not been so plentiful for years as at this
time. and they attribute it to the favorable
weather conditions in the spring at the
time Of the brooding season.
There is a likelihood, however: of much
game being devoured by worthless dogs,
which are permitted to roam the wood,
both day and night. Hundreds of rabbits
and birds are killed annually because
owners of dogs allow them to run at large.
Lower Delaware sportsmen are IN favor of
having the Legislature pass law which
will prohibit dogs running at large during
certain months of the year.
