HUNTING SEASON
Open Seasons For Game In State

| Open Seasons For Game In State
With the approach of the open
season for game in Maryland, State
Game Warden e. LeCompte reports
that upland game of practically all
species seems to have shown great
comeback, even in sections where
the storm of August 90, 1888, pre-
vailed, it being one of the worst dis
asters in the tidal sections Of the
Chesapeake Bay that has occurred
in Maryland for years past.
The Clerks of the Circuit Courts
Of the various counties have re-
ported that persons are purchasing
hunting licenses earlier than usual
this season. AS a rule, the grand
rush begins about September /, but
there have been more licenses sold
| in August than usual.
