The upland plover is a wary and timid bird, hard to approach on foot, but perfectly in- different toa horse and vehicle This ren ders their pursuit in thi* ganner very easy and indolent sport, vetc.ccedingly agrecable. The birds cannot be said to feed in flocks, for while they gather together in large numbers on the same ound, the do not follow cach other like gallinaceous birds ¢ t cancert inany way. When flushed > bird gets up at a time, or rather every bird eots up after his own peculiar fashion and ties off ulone on & course away from his relutives. They pravitate, however, and after an erratic flij of some considerable length of time will join cach other until they settle aguin, While running over the plain—and_the at ar spectable — gait, oo -they are a most coustantly sounding a soft, plantive whistle, which s a sure warning that they ave about to take wing. The hunter knows the id well, and when he hears it h mvariably erouches low, hop « g to getn &ack at thim as they wheel and convolute in their aerial reconnoissancy Wewere driving along an unfreq by-path, after having made three or four #ood shots, when suddenly we were both startled by a very chorus of ‘‘tee-wheetle- tee-wheetles,”” and quickly descried ful thivty of the' yellow legs running in all di- rections away from us. We had evidently startled the birds while they had been quictly basking m the warm sunshine. We quickly sprang from the bugey and got in both barrels as the birds arose, but only one, and thuta wing-tipped hen, rewarded our effort Itwas not certain down, as we W fired, butmy fr plover. But he i ted who brought the bird > both together when we nd ran to gather the wonnded found itno easy task, for the little hen started off like o diminutive ostrich, and it was & hard chase for o couple of hundred yards, when the bird sud- denly disappeared as completely as if she had been resolved into the original elements. Juck was uonplussed, and 1 hurried war “Where is shet T asked. You tell, roplicd he, as he gazed in won- derment ull'about the spat. We had no dog, of cou be 4 hindrance at plover was nothing to dobut huntand' solye the mystery oursclves. After fully fifteen min- utes had been spent in serutinizing the listle tufts of gruss und brown hollows lying all about us, Juck suddenly called. “Look here,” 1 hurried over tohim and he pointed at his t, and there, nestling eclosely to o brown clod, lay th plo- ver, her beautifully mottled pluma assimilating so perfectly with the leaden enrth and rufous coloved grass, that not one pair of eyes in a theusand would have discoy- ercd her, ‘The upland plover is a queer bird in mauy othier respeets. It has the faculty of gu 1ge of 4 shot gun better than any L the canvas back, that 1 know of, a shot we needlessly thre y at birds flushing out of gunshot y swittly, and wlicn in the air look much larger than they really are, cwing to the graat length of their sharp pointed wings. They ave but precious little larger than the jack-snipe, about an even thing between the'snipe and' the wood- cock, but possess more gumption than both of these excellent b combined. The plover, too, is a provoking little rascal, always Lying perfectly still, sort of side way$, while You are advaicing on bim, and then, just as ¥ou are countingz on a shot dead sure, you are Btartied by that sad *“tee-wheetle-tco- wheet ! and he's oft. Then round and round ho cir- cles, all about you, but never quite within reach of your gun, and you might just as well move on first as list. The shooting is good just now, and sports- men, who long for a little excite tion, can find it in a drive over the hills ard across ‘the prairies, anywhere to the west or northwest beyona the city limits, He Should ie Called Dow It is high timesomo one was reading the riotact to Dave Rowe of Denver, Dave isan intelligent, clever fellow socially, and'is still a good ball player, but ho has a baa habit of putting his foot in it, every time he opens his mouth, His brotherhood blathery is down- right treason and if hepersists in it he should be kicked out of the Western association sans coremonie. It is all right, mind you, for Rowe to sympathize with the brother- hood, and to feel for them all he can, but he s norightso long as heis part owner and the mansger of a national agreement club, wnd making his bread butter off of natioal apreement clubs, to be disseminating his brothierhood guft wherever he may happen to be. In Chicago the other day he usserted that he intended to make arrangements to play exhibition games with the brothert clubs after the champlonship season closes. But he won't, und he knows it He would like to, but he dare not. President McCormick remarked yesterday, and with no little empuasis, too, that if Rowe played one single = game, or an inning ‘even, with any brotherhood club, that he would be ousted from the west- ern association quicker'n scat, Rowe does nothing but mouth over the brotherhood, it matters not to whom he 15 talking or whére be may be, it is the sume old song, the broth- erhood is the only legitimate base ball organ- fzation on earth, and is bouud to succeed, while the National league is composed of a lot of monied shurks and amateur ball play- .« @5, and must be extirpated. Why don't Rowe leave Denver and the Westeru assoc tion, and join his fortunes with the fakirs if he is s0 stuck on them! It does seem that he ought todo this or put apad- lock ou his chin, as long s he is a barty tothe Kreat national sgreement any way David, jnst by way of admonltion, a little discretion on your part may be money in your pocket.
