INTERCLASS FOOT BALL ————— Preparation for the autumn field day of Georgetown University is in full blast. The contractor promised to have the run- ning track and other portions of the cam- pus ready for practice over a week ago, but lis promises were not fulfilled. The track is cut of the ordinary run of college tracks, and is expected to develop considerable speed. Instead of the usual upper coat of cinders there is red clay rolled hard, which, while probably not as easy under foot as cin- ders, is a great deal easier to keep in.order. ‘The track measures a quarter of a mile, with the finish point nearly opposite the grand stand. It is, however, in its shape that it differs from those of its_rivals. Instead of the semi-circle at each end there is an ellipse with two straightaways, one each on the east and west sides of the campus. The straightaways ure level, but the sur- face of the two ellipses is slanting, with a rise of about eighteen inches at the outer sides of the ends. The advantage in the ellipse arrangement is said to lie in the fact that a man more than makes up the time lost in turning the rather sharp angles by the two straight sides than he would if a large part of the track was a continuous turn. The hundred-yard dash and the hur- dling ground is located on the east straight- away, and Is really 125 yards in length, with the starting point slightly, de- scending. At the extreme northwest’ cor- ner of the campus, but inside the track, is placed the ground for pole vaulting, and to the east of this is the jumping ground. The track entirely surrounds the base ball field, but does not interfere with it in the slight- aturday, November 9, the open field day is. to come off, and this is expected to equal nything this city has ever seen in the line and certainly surpass all local college com- petitions. Manager Robert Dick Douglass has sent a letter to each of the colleges composing the Intercollegiate Athletic As- sociation and to all neighboring instituions, in all about fifty colleges, asking them to compete. Events of the Day. The offictal rules of the Intercollegiate American Amateur Athletic Association vill govern all events. The events will be those of the I. C. A. A. A. A., namely: One hundred-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, §80-yards run, mile run, mile walk, two-mile bicycle, 120-yards hurdle,220-yards hurdle, running broad jump, running high jemp, pole vault, putting sixteen-pound shot and thowing sixteen-pound hammer. A gold medal will be given for first prize and 2 silver medal for second prize in each event. It Is expected that there will be some en- tries from outside institutions, possibly one or two men from the University of Pennsyl- vanta, but even if only the local collegians stow up, Washingtonians will have a chanee to see the holder of one world’s rec- ord in competition, and also another man who has defeated a world's record holder, and the man next to him. In the 100-yard dash Bernard J. Wefers, who has equaled the world's record with 9 4-5 to his credit, will, of course, carry off the palm. Wefers comes from Boston Uni- versity, though he ran for the New York Athletic Club at the Manhattan Field meet. To spur him to do good work there will be Fox, who represented Georgetown ut the Mott Haven games, and did 10 3-5. Fox ts large and well built, and with prac- tice is expected to develop into a remark- ably fast man. Julius Walsh is the other competitor. He is from St. Louis Universi- ty, but has never tried against time. Walsh is small, but has a graceful gait. In the 240-yards run, in addition to the three just n-entioned, there will compete Dillon, a new man, from the University of St. Louis, who has never run in competition before. We- fers holds the world’s record at the 220, beating John V. Crum In 21 3-5 seconds. Sharp Competition Promised. In the four-hundred-and-forty-yard dash, James Wefers, brother of the crack. is bill- ed to make it. He has accomplished it in -52 3-5. Holt, a new man from Philadel- phia, will push James Wefers hard. Holt will also be seen in the half-mile. His record for this is two minutes, plus three seconds, or two seconds slower than J. D. Delaney. MecAnernany is to make the third man of the trio in this event. McAnernany is well built, and should make a-strong finish. In the mile run, however, Georgetown has a sure thing in the person of the Delaney just Ment oned. Delaney comes from the Wor- cester Athletic Club, and at the last field day of that organization he defemed the two best men in the United States, except- ing Tommy Conneff, for the distance. De- laney does this in four minutes and twen- ty-eight seconds. McAnernany {is his run- ning mate for the mile. In the two-mile bicycie, F. W. Hutchins of the law depart- ment has a sure thing, unless the two new men in the coltegiite department turn oat extraordinarily well. They are McLaughlin of Brooklyn and B. J. Maher, who hails from the Portland, Me., High School. In the one-hundred-and-twenty hurdle the col- lege has another star in the person of J. M. Gallagher. Gallagher learned all he knows of hurdling at the Worcester Ath- letic Club, of which he is a member, be. sides being In the school of arts at George- town. J. A. Devereux is the other wearer of the blue and gray who will essay the hurdles. The college entries are the same in the next event, the two-hundred-and- twenty-yard hurdle, with the exception that Fox will help out. Of big “Mike” Ma- honey wonders are expected. He does not train as he ought to, and in consequence lacks a deal of experience. He is booked for the running broad jump, baving already cleared twenty feet eight inches at this. P. J. Scanlan, the ball player, and Mc- Anernany are the men who will act as his pacemakers, and nossibly go him one bet- ter. Arthur McElhone, a médico, ts too well known in Washington to need com- ment, except that he can clear the bar at five feet ten in the running high jump. Julius Walsh is six inches below McElhone. McElhone may also be induced to try his hand at the pole vault, at which he Is an adept, but at which he has not practiced much of late. Gallagher, who swings over the bar at nine feet six. and Dillon are, however, sure to represent the college at the vault. George Mahoney ought to make a good shot putter, but he has not come up to expectations as yet. If, however, ha was given the assistance of a_ professional ccich, the same as the colleze champion, W. O. Hickok of Yale, has always received, he might equal the latter. He has put the ball thirty-seven feet ten inches, and ts constantly increasing the distance. W. T. S. Poyle and T. Welsh are the other shot and they, with Mahoney from the $125 guns,$65 Just 5 of the celebrated $125 W. & C. * Scott & Son's “feather-weight” Damascus double-harrel field guns reduced to $65 ly beeause they have hammers the now hammerless guns.

Inter-Class Foot Ball. The four classes, seniors, juniors, sopho- mores and freshmen, are in the throes of excitement on the gridiron. The faculty has offered to give a dinner to the class team that comés off victorious In the class contests, and so considerable zest is added to an always exciting sport. Each class is to play two games with each of the other classes, making six games in all for each eleven to play. Of the seniors, Dyer, Bryant, Nelson as regulars and Douglass, Kelly and Valen- tine as substitutes played on the "Varsity team of last year, so that the other teams are at somewhat of a disadvantage. Dris- coll is the tennis crack and Dugan the catcher of the ball team. The make-up of the other,teams is as follows: Juniors— Donohue, left end; Callahan, left tackle; Doyle, left guard; Eggington,center; We! ght guard; Curley,right tackle; Tremoulet, right end; Maher, quarter back; Fox, right half back; Bolan, left half back, and Kir- by, full back.

It was a stubborn contest in the first half. Harvard's line stood up well enough in the early part of the battle, but In the second half it crumbled like a picket fence before the determined, well-timed rushes of the Tigers. Harvard's line showed unexpected weak- ness. Her interference was poor, and her backs, with the exception of Charles Brewer and Wrightington, did not prove to be the ground-gainers that their friends had an- ticipated. In the second half the Princeton men realized the weakness of their oppo- nents, and they made holes through the Harvard line at will. Little Rosengarten played a capital game, and Captain Lea di- rected his men like a general and played his own position in creditable style until he was injured in the second half, when his collar- bone was broken and he kad to retire from the game. There was probably a little less rough play than usual, ard while several of the players were compelled to retire, all of the unfortunates will be able to play again within a week, except possibly Captain Lea. There were plenty of eager substitutes to take the places of the injured. Captain Brewer wept like a child when his friends led him from the field, disabled, in the sec- ond half, and when he saw Princeton gain- ing he literally buried his face in the mud to shut out the sight. Harvard was too slow and methodical in her maneuvers, and the crimson should change her tactics before she meets Penn- sylvania. Maybe Harvard depended too much on supposed scientific tricks of the Deland order and not enough on team work, strategy and generally offensive play. Har- vard felt the loss of Captain Brewer and Shaw, the center. The score was a tie, 4 to 4, when they left the game. The one uncalled-for piece of rough play occurred in the first half, and it looked for an instant as if foot ball would be aban- doned and fisticuffs taken up. The ball was kicked gut of bounds and it rolled under the temporary field seats. Wrightington dived after it, and as he did so Baird, it was said, gave him a terrific shove, which sent him head first against the planks with a bang that could be heard all over the field. The crowd hissed and the players and substi- tutes rushed up. There was a little indis- criminate waving of arms and legs, and then the human pyramid melted away and the no battle went on in the center of the ie! DAN STUART HAS HOPES. There is Yet a Chance for the Big Fight. ST. LOUIS, Mo., November 4.—A special to the Republic frem Dallas, Tex., says: Dan Stuart arrived. home from Hot Springs and Little Rock ton'ght. He said: ‘here is yct a chance for the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight to take place. I believe the men will fight if given a chance. The first thing to be done is to find a place for them. I shall go to El Paso tomorrow to Icok after matters in that locality. It will take some little time to arrange details, but I have hopes of success.” CHICAGO, Ill, November 4.--Parson Da- vies and the party he took to Hot Springs returned from the seat of the war of words last night. John L. Sullivan was in the perty. “I’m that sick and sore of this fighting burlesque that I’m compelled to stay over and rest out,” said big John. “It is not so very long ago that I used to be in the bus- iress myself, and, sdy, I could always find ® way to fight any fellow that wanted to fight. I am not saying which one of these fighters did not want, but it’s a sure thing, one of them was scared. You can pick him out if you like. I will not tell you which one it fs.” The ex-champion goes east today. Peter Maher was more thoroughly out of soris at the fight flasco than any one who had been to Hot Springs. “I have been pulled about from Europe to Dallas, and then to Hot Springs, all to no purpose,” said he. The Irish fighter left last night for Pitts- burg, where he says he will look over the field with his backer and then take a fresh start. Every one who came in from the selected battle ground tells the same story of two men fighting a war of words, when they should have been battling somewhere for a championship. Potomacs Looking for Dates. The recently organized Potomac Athletic Club foot ball eleven, which played the Ori- ents to a draw a short time ago, has issued a challenge to any team in the District, the Gallaudet College eleven preferred. The Po- tcemacs state that they are willing to play a series of games with the Columbia Athletic Club and the Orient Athletic Club, and it is most likely that if such a series is arranged for the championship of the District will de- pend upon it, as there are no other foot ball aspirants for championship honors in the field this season. The Potomacs say that the Gallaudet team refuses to meet them a second time. It will be remembered that the latter team defeated the Potomacs py a score of 6 to 0, and now that the Potomacs want a return game the Gallaudet players have refused their re- quest. The Potomac boys say that, inas- much as the game was played on Kendall Green, they now want a game on their own grounds. Tney further claim that their team has been strengthened, and that the Gallaudet eleven is afraid to meet them. The Shamrocks and Rockvilles. The Rockville Academy and Shamrock teams play their first foot ball game at Cap- {tol Park this afternoon. The Shamrocks will line up as follows: Saur C. V. Cowsell, right guard; F. Cowsell, left guard; Singe- ton, right tackle; Lynch, left tackle; J. Dougherty, right half back; Cleary, left half back; Haskell, right end; Mahoney, left end; D. Dougherty, quarter back, and Frocom, full back. Breaking Bicycle Records. Charles Shabet of Rochester, N. Y., yes- terday lowered the world’s road record for 200 miles from 11.58.30 to 11.46.58 4-5, or 11 minutes 31 1-5 seconds. Shabel left Roc ester in the morning at 10 ahd return at 6:15:48 4-5 in the evening. From Roches- ter he rode direct to Buffalo, and, after rid- ing from Buffaloto Crittenden and Bo’ manaville and return, pedaled back to Roch- ester. Shabel found the roads in poor con- dition and received a number of bad falls. His time was accurately checked at the start and finish and at several places along the route. August A. Hanson of Minneapolis in a twenty-four-hour bicycle ride yesterday made 375 miles, the best previous record be- ing 367 miles, held by Hueblin. Other rei ords broken were the American track, miles, and American boulevard record, miles. Arthur Gardner of Chicago yesterday rode a mile, flying, paced, at Fountain Ferry, in 1.45 1-5, one second utder the class B record. Pantops Won. In the game of foot ball between the Epis- copal High School and the Pantops Academy Friday the score, 14 to 0, was in favor of Pantops, not of the high school, as has been published. THE NONPAREI Jack Dempsey Has Reached the End of His Career. RECORD OF VICRORY ‘AND DEFEAT A Game Prize Fighter: Who Has Had Few — y HIS FIGHT WITH RITZSIMMONS Written for The Evening Star. Away off in far Oregon, on the banks of the Willamette, near where the waters of the Columbia roll majestically to the sea, Jack Dempsey, the greatest fistie gladiator of his size since the days of the Nonpareil, Jack Randall, les dead. His last battle has been fought. Never again will he answer to the call of “time.” He is “out” forever and for aye. His record is complete. Jack was born in the County Kildare in Ireland about forty years ago, but was brought to this country by his parents when he was but a small child. They settled in the upper part of the city of Brooklyn. When he was old enough to work he was appren- ticed to the cooper’s trade in the same shop where Jack McAuliffe afterward learned the barrel-making business. Though little and siender in build, Dempsey was lithe and sin- ewy, as quick as a cat, and far stronger than a cursory glance at his physique would irdicate. There were many collar and albow wrestlers among the coopers in the shop, and among the Hibernian denizens of old Willlamsburgh, and it was not long after he finished his trade that Jack became so expert at the wrestling game that he determined to adopt it as a profession. Practicing threw him into contact with sparrers and boxers. He soon became so expert with the gloves that he determined to test himself in the ring. Champion of His Class. Dempsey beat every one in his class around New York during nts first two years in the ring. but his right ‘to be considered America’s light-weight champion was not admitted until he had defeated each Fogarty of Philadelphia and George La Blanche of Boston, “The Marine,” who is a powerful man, and up to the time he met Dempsey in the Larchmont Yacht Club house had never known defeat. To this day he claims that he would not then have been beaten had not Dempsey struck him an unexpected, terrific blow over the referee's shoulder, while that official was splitting them apart from a clinch. Be that as it may, the victory estab- lished Dempsey the Hght-weight champ‘on. In San Francisco he went out of his class end met Jack Burke, “the Irish lad.” When Dempsey undertook to meet him many thought that he was foolhardy. The result proved that he was not, for he clearly out- pointed Burke. An ineldent occurred fn this contest which showed how bright and quick Dempsey was to turn anything to his advantage in a fight. Early in the battle, noticing that the ropes of the ring were as taut as fiddle strings, he backed away from Burke until he nearly touched them. Then by adroit tactics he induced Burke to hit at him with full force. As he did this Dempsey ducked out under his arm and turned quickly. Burke pitched forward against the ropes, which threw him back as though he were a billiard ball caroming against a cushion. This was just what Dempsey had figured on. As “the Irish lad” came forward, Dempsey met him, left and right, so sharply that he was hit to his knees. He was almost dazed when he got to his feet, and he did not fully recover from the effect of these blows until after the con- test was ended. Dempsey next turned his attention to Charley M tchell. Theugh “England's vox- ing champion” was by fully twenty pounds the heavier man, he shook a fight at him for over two years. His First Cheek. The first check that was given Dempsey’s all conquering career, strangely enough, came from Mike Donovan, a man who was at least a dozen years Dempsey’s senior, and who was even then called “Old Mike."" Dempsey he'd Donovan so cheaply that he made no adequate preparation for the con- test, while Donovan trained faithfully The result was a great surprise party for the friends of “The Norpariel,” as Demp- sey was then called. Just before Donovan went into the ring he said, “1 am going to fight as I never fought before, because I shall fight for my wife and babies.” He kept his word, and to the surprise of all, especially Dempsey, he fought so well that when the six rounds were over, Biliy O’Brien, who was the referee, could only declare the affair a draw. From_ that right I lost faith in the idea that Demp- sey was 1 world beater in his class, th e 1 did think that he would win with ‘he Marine” the second time they met, which was in the ring of the California Athletic Club in San Francisco. Knocked Ont. Dempsey had all the best of the battle until about a minute before it ended Twice “The Marine” wanted to stop, and once one of his emissaries had gone te Dempsey’s corner to find out if Jack would give him anything worth whiJe out of the purse if he would give in. Jack, who was as honest as the day is long, would not buy his victory. He declined to give a penny out of the purse. The odds in favor of Pempscey’s winning wére two to one, when suddenly La Bianche snatched victory from the fire by suddenly swinging around and striking Dempsey a pivot back hand blo’ Ic landed on Dempsey’s’ Jaw, and the next Instant he lay senseless on the floor of the ring. For the first time in his career he had to drink the bitter waters of defeat which he had so often’ commended to the lips of haughty opponents. -When he came to and realized that he was beaten, he crossed the ring and with tears streaming down his cheeks and im.mwst piteous tones begged La Blanche to give him another ight and a chance to redeem his laureis. ‘The Marine” was deaf to his entreaties. and never met him again. He Fight Fitz. Though defeated, Dempsey was still the middie weight champion (at 154 pounds), for his match with “The Marine” was at “catch weights,” and he consoled himself with the thought that the blow which laid him low was a foul one. (It has since been barred by the rules of the ring.) Then came his match and fight with Bob Fitz- simmons, who is now talking of fighting Jim Corbett, This was a very foolish match for Dempsey to make, but the man who had announced his Willingness to meet Jake Kilrain to a finish, and to stand John L. Sullivan off for ten rounds, did not think so. The fight took place in New Or- leans. Dempsey, who only weighed 14215 pounds that night, had never set eyes on Fitzsimmons until he entered the ring. Both came in wearing a long overcoat, and it was plain te be seen that Dempsey was surprised vt Fitzsimmons’ height and bulk; and well he might be, fcr the Australian was just short of six feet tall, and though only 154 pounds in weight, he had the frame of «a heavy weight. From start to finish poor Dempsey was outclassed. As he said to me, as he lay on a pallet on the ‘floor of his dressing room immediately after the fight, he “was never in it.” If I live to be as old as was Methuselah I shall never forget the look of surprise, dismay and agony that mantled Dempsey’s face when in the third round Fitzsimmons sent him back until he fell sitting on the lower rope of the ring with a terrific right-hand punch under the heart. That was the blow that Dempsey has since declared brought him to the grave. When Fitzsimmons went to his corner his second, Jimmy Flemming Carroll, said, “Don’t hit that man that way again; if you do you will kill him.” Fitzsimmons obeyed the monition,and when he found that Dempsey was hope- lessly beaten he said, “Don't fight any more, Jack; give in; I’m as strong as when we began, and I don’t want to hit you any more.” “I won't quit while I can stand,” was Dempsey‘s reply. “I'd hit you if I could. You'll have to punch me out before I'll quit.” Even after Jack McAuliffe, his sec- ond, raised his towel in token of surrender, Dempsey would not accept defeat. He struck at Fitzsimmons as he advanced to shake hands with him. He knew that he had no chance, but, like a game cock, he would fight to the last. In the last round he was twice felled to the floor by tumble blows from the ex-blacksmith’s fearful right. Twice did he painfully raise him- self from the sand fioor of the ring, and put himself in aggressive attitude. A third time he was sent to the floor by a blow which sounded like the felling of an ox. The poor fellow could not rise. For a mo- rent his frame quivered, his legs trembled. Then he straightered out as still as a corpse. He was “out,” and deaf to the shouts which acclaimed his conqueror. Dempsey figured three times in the ring after this: Twice with inferior men, whom he “‘outpointed,” in limited round contests; thus for the last time last summer, at Coney Island, with Tommy Ryan. He was but a ghost of his former self, and Ryan enly played with him until the disgust of the spectators caused the affair to be stopped. Then a tenefit was given him in Madison Square Garden, at which John L. Sullivan sparréd the wind-up with him. Jack then looked more like an animated skeleton than an athlete. It was just be- fore this bout that John L. Sullivan, in a speech to the spectators, announced that he and Dempsey were “a pair of good old has beens.” J. B. MeCORMICK. Dispute Over a Game. A great deal of uncertainty as to the out- come of the game which was played Satur- day between the Gallaudet College and Rock Hill foot ball elevens exists. The Rock Hill boys claim that the game was for- feited to them by the refusal of the Gallau- det team to Ine up in the second half, while the Gallaudet players claim that they won the game by superior playing. Gallaudet made a touchdown in the first half, and In the second half started out In fine shape and made another. The Rock Hill boys pro- tested, and said that the latter was made while time was called to allow one of their players to recover from a knockdown. The captain of the Gallaudets claims that the referee, Mr. Sullivan of Rock Hill, gave the game to his team by the score of 4 to 0, dis- allowing the last touchdown. It is also claimed that the game was forfelted to Ruck Basket Ball League Schedule. The first game of the basket ball schedule was played at Washington Light Infantry Armory Saturday evening between the W. L. I. team and the Washington Athletic Club.

The score was 12 to 0. The Eastern team put up a snappy game, but was overpowered by the strong eleven arrayed against them. Hanlon After Cartwright. From the New York Herald. Baltimore is surprised with the news that the Orioles’ first baseman, Carey, is to be put on the bench next season. Hanlon’s desire is to purchase the release of Cart- wright of Washington, to. take Carey's place on the nine. He believes the big Senator can be secured for a stiff bonus, as the Washingtons have drafted First Base- man Rogers of the late Providence Eastern League team. ——_—_ WEARY OF WEALTH. In Despair at the Thought of Giving Up Hin Job. From the Buffalo Inquirer. A laborer employed in one of the iron mills in Allegheny, earning the munificent salary of $1.10 a day for wheeling ore in a wheelbarrow, received a telegram announc- ing that a relative in Ireland had died and left him $60,000. He left his job, went to Ireland, secured the cash, and started upon a career of luxury and high living. Two years later he reappeared in Pittsburg, asked for his old position and went back to wheeling. ore. One day another telegram came announcing that a relative in England had died, leaving him $20,000. He threw up hands in despair. “‘Hivins!” cried he “Must Oi trow up me job and go over ther and waste another year or two in spinding that? It’s a bloody shame to handicap a decint workin’ man like thot. OI'll sind word to thim Ol! can't do it.” : —_—_—_-e-+___ The last hop of the season.—Life. ’Tisn’t often men and boys get a chance to buy such Shoes at such prices as we're offering the Goetz samples.

Fine Sport is on the Potomac, Though the Birds Don’t Come Up Far as Formerly. ‘The ducking season opened in earnest last Friday, the closed season according to the law of Maryland having ended. Shoot- ing on the famous Havre de Grace flats began. It was a model day and a number of hunters participated in the sport. A large number of ducks were killed, and the predictions of the old hunters are that the season will be a good one. There was an increased number of canvas backs noticed, and red heads were quite abundant. From down the Potomac reports are en- couraging. The creeks are full of mallard. So the hunters need not worry themselves about lack of sport. The bird hunters, how- ever, will have a poor season, for there are few quail anywhere around these parts. The cold weather of last winter killed hundreds of the little favorites. But cold weather has no effect on ducks, and it seems as though the supply had been increased to make up for the birds. With the first blast of cold weather the ducks begin to arrive. First of all come the rook, juicy little fellows, and one of the best table ducks. In color they are dark brown, with a bronze tinge, and usually as fat as butter. In fact, they are such good feeders that they are sometimes called “butter balls.” In the early part of the season they are quite tame and allow a boat to come within gun shot. But the steam launches are after them be- fore long, and they get wary. Many stories are told of this duck which go a long way toward establishing his reputation as a duck of intelligence. It is said that later in the season, when the canvas back and red head come about, he develops into a marauder, and lives entirely upon what the others gather. Lives by His Wits. Now the rook is very partial to wild celery. But he is handicapped in the mat- ter of satisfying his longing for this favor- ite food by his short neck, small body and diminutive lungs. Wild celery grows on an average in five feet of water. The canvas back and red head find no trouble in diving for it, but the rook, try as it may, can- not go the distance. Then it is his wonder- ful intelligence is brought into play. It is well known that both the canvas back and red head are particular in what they eat. They are scrupulously clean, and each piece of celery is carefully washed before devoured. And right here the rook gets in its fine work. When the big ducks rise to the surface with celery, after a long dive, the rook, ever on the lookout, takes to wing, and making a great fuss, goes at the’ big duck, and before the latter has a chance to shake the water out of its eyes the rook has the celery and is off. So it is no wonder the rook is a good duck for the table. It has been stated that a- section of its breast cannot be distinguished from a canvas back, Just a word about hunting them. The best way is to creep on them. That is, to lie at full length in a skiff, and with creep- ing paddles sneak on them. Some hunters aver that they cannot be decoyed. This is a mistake, due, no doupt, to the fact that the duck is so little thought of that no one takes the trouble to set out a stool of prop- erly paint2d decoys. All ducks will dart to the right kind of decoys. Take away the rook and the amateur will experience less difficulty in killing the black head or shuf- fler than any other. But their meat is coarse and oftentimes fishy, and it Is not regarded as a “good duck. He comes under the head of trash ducks, a class that includes all of the winter species, save the canvas back, the red head and the mal- jard. The canvas back and red head are usually shot f-om a@ blind, although a sink box is preferred by many. In either case a stool of properly painted decoys are used to attract the game, the latter being killed as they “dart” to the decoys. These ducks are hard to sneak upon, and hunters rare- ly try it. The Toothsome Mallard. Next in importance is the mallard, and he has a goodly following of connoisseurs,who swear by him as the most delicious paddler of the lot. He is distinctively an original duck, and has peculiarities of his own. Al- though it is comparatively easy to kill, the duck is scary to an cxtreme degree. Blind shooting is the method most generally em- ployed, although in some parts of the coun- try bushwhacking is the favorite mode of warfare. The bushwhacher provides him- self with a stool of decoys, which he sets out, and a skiff, which he uses to sneak on the ducks after they have alighted among the decoys. Usually he goes to windward end drifts down upon the uneuspecting ducks, who no doubt are wondering what breed of ducks they are among, sitting mo- tionless and not uttering a good morning quack. The true mallard is black. There are several other species, all of which have devotees, but when a hunter speaks of a mallard he refers to a black mallard. It differs from its brothers in that it is only partially migratory, many remaining dur- ing the spring and breeding in the seques- tered marshes. There are numerous other varieties of ducks, but those mentioned are the ones most sought after hereabouts. In years gone by, befcre the advent of the steam launch, duck shooting on the Potomac was a favorite sport with the hunters, and no one ever thought the supply would wane. There are just as many ducks now as ever, but they don’t linger in the upper Potomac. The steam launches, often carrying a doz- en hunters, are after the ducks all the time, chasing them hither and thither and scaring their wits nearly out of them, until, tired of the unequal battle, they take wing and have a somewhat easier time in the creeks or broad parts of the lower Po- tomac. But the steam launches are not alone re- sponsible for this condition of affairs. The blg gunners, or pot hunters, do a deal in the way of frightening off the ducks. Their favorite method 's to watch a flock of ducks until twilight. Then, with their skiff, in the bow of which ts a large gun, too heavy ‘o shoot from the shoulder, and loaded with half a pound of powder and twice as much shot, they paddle noiselessly upon the unsuspecting game and slaughter great numbers. Many are wounded, but the pot hunter has no time to go after single ducks, and so they get away, only to meet a lingering death in some hidden cove or fall prey to the hawks.” Legislation in beth Virginia and Maryland prohibits these modes of killing ducks, but the officers of the law are few and far between, and there is scldom a convictior ————_ Divorce. Attorney E. H. Thomas today filed sult for divorce for Caroline Cost against Chas. F. Cost. The papers in the case were with- held from publication. —_—_ — Injanction Refused.
