A FAIR EVENING'S SPORT. 



Billy McMullen, Claude Merideth, Char- 

 ley Milliken and Frank Wilkerson went 

 dove hunting yesterday and had splendid 

 luck. They didn't start until 2 o'clock in 

 the afternoon and bagged 116. This is the 

 Dest of the season up to date. — Bowling 

 Green (Ky.) Times-Journal. 



In regard to our little dove hunt, I must 

 acknowledge that the report is true as to 

 the number bagged. We also killed others 

 which fell in a pond where we were unable 

 to get them. We consider 116 doves a fair 

 evening's sport. W. McMullan, 



Bowling Green, Ky. 



Instead of calling it a fair evening's 

 sport I call it a disgraceful evening's 

 slaughter. Only in the Southern States and 

 in California do men who claim to be 

 sportsmen kill doves. A Northern sports- 

 man would be ashamed to be found with a 

 dead dove in his game pocket, and I trust 

 the benighted sportsmen of the South and 

 of California may soon get their senses and 

 take the same view as to the killing of 

 these harmless and beautiful birds. — Edi- 

 tor.

 Everyone knows the advantage of having 

 a good fountain pen in his pocket, and 

 this is one of that kind.
