PINNATED GROUSE IN DELAWARE. 



I HAVE learned more in reference to the pinnated grouse 

 that was sent from Lower Delaware. The game 'dealer 

 who took it to Mr. John Kiider was IMr. Jonas H.^Whitc, 140 

 Chestnut street. The bird he was unable lo identify, and 

 wanted Mr, Krider to purchase it as au oddity. The 'speci- 

 men being a poor one, and only half-gi-own, was rejected. 

 While's sou told me this morning he had thrown it away 

 not thinking it was any value. ' 



This half -grown prairie chicken undoubtedly came from 

 those Dr. Piu-nell put out, and there are certainly more of 

 them. 



In the remembrance of Mr. Krider there were pinnated 

 grouse in Burlington County. K. .)., and at one time, thirty or 

 forty years ago, he saw at Manahawkeu, N. J., iu the pos- 

 session of alo'-^il t.n„,io>- =iv prairie liens, or grouse as tlipy 

 were Cidled. t! :[„,t m the "Barrens," iu the 



abovc-menlioi i „i i^uow Frank Forrester sneaks 



Of them in hih v, ■ : : ■ : ,^r once eiisied on Long Island, 

 in the Pocouo reaion of Pennsylvania, and in the "Barrens" 

 Of Burlington County, N. J. To be sure; they were called hy 

 different names in these localities, hut they were nothing 

 more nor leas than the pinnated grouse. Undoubtedly, with 

 tho proper protection, the same bird can be replanted and be 

 made lo thrive in their once natural breeding gi-ouads. 



Homo, 



FoNTD Dn Lao Game Club — Fond duLa-c, Wie., Bee, 13. — 

 I send you a record of this Club, believing that portions of 

 it are meritorious and have produced good results. In Feb- 

 ruary, 1867, the first organization was effected, with S. B. 

 Aiiiory, President; L. M. Wyatt, Hccretary,- R. A. Baker, 

 Treasurer. The Cluli was limited to utn members, and was 

 compo.sed of gentlemen sportsmen, wlio realized the ueecs- 

 sity of preserving game, and was among the first organiza- 

 tions in the State, The Club is represeaited tlirotigh its Sec- 

 retary in the State Association, and has always exercised a 

 salutary influence in the enactments for game preservation. 

 In August, 1876, a reorganization was effected, S. B. Amor;,^ 

 rrpsidcnt; J. W. Carney, Tice-President .- L. M, AVyatt, 

 Secretary; T. S, Weeks, Treasurer, and O, C, Steenbcrg, 

 Robert Urummond, and Albert Becker, Executive Commit- 

 tee. This Club, through the Fond du Lac members of the 

 Senate and House, introduced a bill at the last session making 

 September, October and November the shooting season for 

 ajl game ; but they encountered so much opposition that only 

 tiie portion relating to deer became a law, but even this has 

 saved the State thousands of deer the present season and has 

 been of inestimable value. W. 



Gkodse Trebing — Reymldsville, Pff,— 1 notieod a coni- 

 inunication in your pajier a few weeks ago .siatiug that ruft'ed 

 grouse did not tree when hunted by dogs. 1 have been shoot- 

 ing them all this season, and my e.xperience is that in nine 

 rases out of ten flush « bevy and they will all tree. In thus 

 country tliey generally take to the hemlocks. The.)' are very 

 plenty, but are saelly decreasing from the raid.s of the Avild 

 cats and fo.ves. Two weeks ago I saw twentytive grouse fly 

 out of a single hemleick where they lead taken refuge ivom 

 a fox. I tiiink this was the largest bevy I had ever seen, 

 but would like lo hear from your readers whether they can 

 beat it. We .shot a number of mallard and tea! on our ground 

 this fall, and have been having, all things considered a good 

 season m the woods R L

BNFOROKeT THE Law IN Maijse. — ^Tbe Sullivan, Maine,

 went for the deer wdiich are pretty numerous (Jiis winter, iu- 

 leudinir to nialvc a busine.ss in slaughtering them; the dogs 

 were cbasiiit;- one, and the game warden being out the deer 

 run acrobs Ill's track, he shotrit and then shot the dogs. The 

 hunters, ou coming up, found their game taken care of, dogs 

 shoi, and themselves UDder aiTest, They came out uf the 

 .scrape with loss of game, loss of dogs, and having .*40 iu 

 lines to pa}^ All this for setting the law at defiance."
