Enemies of the Quail.
Ohio Opinions Of Sportsmen, Cats
and English Sparrows.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: I ar
surprised by some of the ideas ad'
vanced by 'G. II. G." on the propaga-
ton and hunting of the quail.
He names several enemies OF the
quail as vermin. hawks, foxes, crows
and cats. None of these Is dangerous tc
the quail. the cat perhaps being the
worst He does not mention natures
worst enemy to this beautiful and usefu
bird. the rain.
As n boy on the farm have watched
hawk trying to catch quail, but
never saw one succeed. He has &c
catch the quail on. the wing or not a,
all, and this he seldom does. for the
quail II about to be overhauled will drop
straight down into the high grass OF
weeds and the hawk cannot follow. A
crow might find a quail's nest full oi
eggs and suck them. but this would be
very rare. If foxes had to live by
lcatching quail there would be no foxes
on earth very long.
The roaming cat can.f grant. find the
coveys at night by slipping up on them
and catch few, though the quail is
not the wild bird that suffers most from
this worthless animal, the robin being
the bird that the cat destroys most Of
At this point I would say every State
should tax cats at least s25. and II Il
were $50 It would be a still better law
This animal has no excuse, on earth for
protection by man. AS to rat catching
n fifty cent wire trap baited with a
piece of fresh fish will catch more rats
in three days than dozen cats will
catch in all their lives, even though
they have ten each.
The quail has to build It's nest on the
ground because its young must come
or to feed aa soon as hatched, and when
II rains during the incubating period
the water often runs under the mother
bird and chilis the eggs to death. All
other enemies, except the hunter, COM
bined do not destroy as many quail ms
the rain, therefore.
The hunter of the quail / do not like
to mention because he is my fellow
man. I will. however. say that for
every quail he shoots he should pay as
much as II would take to buy at Tho
very least 100 pounds of the best por-
terhousc steak. In this case he would
think. prefer to eat steak. Sports
meni I have very different idea oi
sportsmanship than killing this beauti-
full bird Just to eat II. Nero Toasted
on nightingaies.
In Ohio the quail has been put on
the song bird list by act OF the Legis-
lature. and any man who would intro
duce a bin In that body TO allow men
q kuI II as a game bird would start
something In Ohio that he couldn't stop
\. my opinion.
"G. r. a." Gays n the entire covey is
left the older males win drive of the
younger and prevent them from mating
The fact is that all wild birds. including
the quail. mate by pairs one male. with
one female: hence tho absurdity ~ this
idea OF his. The English sparrow does
not SO mate. but II cannot be classed as
wild bird. II ehould be called a
feathered insect
If the Legislature of the great state
Of New York does not pass a humane
and jusr law placing the quail in the
song bird class and protect It for It's
merry WHISTLE "Bobwhite.' then / cay

terial. Headlands are ploughed al
most to the boundary lines of fields
these days and the brambles and berry
bushes are fast disappearing.
With one Of his best hiding places
gone the quail has to struggle for ex-
istence. He is CHEEKY chap and his
whistle at eventide near the homes
Of men is an evidence Of his friendli-
ness. He ought TO have everything
that is possible done for his preserva-
tion. Winter feeding is good, but
something to take the place of the
old rail- fence would also be helpful.

Divided Tears for Shakespeare.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The

Shakespeare should have patient hear

The world is shakespeare's widow and
still weeps for him. but her tears are
not all shed at the shrine at Stratford
on Avon. The deliver in the mine Of
truth Is very apt to conclude that the
only true monument 81 the poet is to

Miss Howell,s Concert.

Miss Dicie Howell. soprano. gave q
song recital In Aeolian Hall yesterday
afternoon. Miss Howell>has been heard
here before and has met with favor. She
was not always at her best yesterday.
Some Of her tones were produced with
manifest effort and some were decidedly
off the pitch. On the other hand, in
some of her songs her art was such as
to command praise for its taste and in
telligence. She was heard by large
and friendly audience. Richard Hage-
man played excellent accompaniments.

Belgian Pianist's Debut.

Marinus De long. Belgian pianist.
made his American debut at Aeolian Hall
last night In recital. This artist comes
here with favorable record from
abroad. Not only has he taken piano
and composition prizes from the Antwerp
and Belgian conservatories but he has
played under the direction of Weingart<
ner and other leading conductors. He
began his programme last night with
Franck's prelude. choral and fugue.
Beethoven's "Appassionate' sonata was
on his list. group by Russians. and,
among other pieces, a prelude and bur-
lesque by himself. His performance
showed him to be an interpreter Of some
Individual and interesting ideas. no few
of which he was able to impart to his
hearers. His general technic and style
needed more incisiveness and also force,
but at times these qualities were quite
sufficient TO serve his purposes.

The advice not to worry is very good

Injunction to that effect, therefore, Is
so likely to 60 unheeded that we shall
refrain altogether from giving it; in
stead, we merely suggest that those
who do worry. usually do most OF their
worrying about the wrong thing. For
example: the man who has morbid
fear that he will die in a poorhouse
is SO worried about such lamentable
end that he lives as pauper to-day In
order that he may have crust Of
bread I'm the remote future, whereas,
II he must VERY, he ought to be con-
