Lane^s Trolley 

 Parlor Door Hangers and Track 



nPHE particularly distinguishing features of the 

 Lane Trolley Door Hanger equipment are 

 the excellence of the ball bearing and the lateral 

 as well as vertical adju^ment of the track. 



Lane Trolley Hangers are made in both the 

 rigid and adju^able pendant ^yles and with both 

 single and double trucks. All are fitted with 

 machined and hardened ball bearings as shown 

 and in all the various details the quality of Lane 

 produces is maintained, thus virtually placing 

 them in a class by themselves.

establishment of bright prospects for the 

 preservation of the State's game. In Con- 

 necticut during tlie last session of the Leg- 

 islature the influence of the National Asso- 

 ciation and the Connecticut -Audubon So- 

 ciety was most potent in securing the enact- 

 ment of a hunter's license law, which has 

 met with the hearty approval of bv far the 

 greater number of sportsmen. Then non- 

 spring shooting law was also secured 

 largely as the result of the efforts of these 

 organizations. In Illinios the open season 

 on woodcock and mourning doves has l)een 

 shortened a month ; the day's bag of water- 

 fowl and ducks reduced from thirty-five to 

 twenty, and for quail and other game birds 

 from twenty-five to fifteen. In Massa- 

 chusetts the National Association has con- 

 tributed to the fund which is to be used in 

 the experiment looking to the preservation 

 from extermination of the remnant of the 

 once abundant heath hen, now reduced to 

 a few pairs on the island of Martha's Vine- 

 yard. In New Hampshire a law was se- 

 cured making a five years' closed season on 

 the wood duck and upland plover. In New 

 Jersey the attempt last year to secure a 

 non-spring shooting law resulted in the bill 

 dying in the Senate Fish and Game Com- 

 mittee as the result of the opposition of one 

 man. This year sportsmen have awakened 

 to the conditions and necessities, and co- 

 operation of the sportsmen's clubs is al- 

 ready so well assured as to give good 

 promise of securing the passage of both this 

 law and a hunter's license law. 



One of the good works accomplished in 

 New York has been the defeat of bills to 

 permit the sale of certain foreign game 

 l)irds in the closed season. These bills in 

 various forms have been introduced at each 

 session of the Legislature for several years. 

 The adoption of such a law would almost 

 surely result in fraud, and the illegal selling, 

 consequently killing, of native game birds. 



In a paper of the limitations of the pres- 

 ent one, it is obviously impossible to more 

 than briefly touch on some of the more im- 

 portant work looking to game protectioi: 

 which the National Association of Audubon 

 societies and the various State Audubon so- 

 cities have accomplished in co-operation 

 with the sportsmen of the country. As to 

 the aims and principles of the National and 

 State societies, they may be briefly summed 

 up in a repetition of the statement that 

 these organizations stand for the adoption 

 and enforcement of sucli laws as will in- 

 sure the continued preservation of all spe- 

 cies of game, and for the absolute protec- 

 tion of all harmless or beneficial non-game 

 birds and animals. They advocate the total 

 abolishing of spring shooting, because by 

 such wasteful methods many species of 

 game are surely being brought to extermin- 

 ation ; they advocate the adoption of a hun- 

 ters' license, first because it places the cost 

 of game protection on those who enjoy the 

 sport of shooting, highest on the alien who 

 is most frequently a violator of the game 

 and non-game laws, next on the non-resi- 

 dent who does not otherwise contribute to 

 the support of the State, and merely nom- 

 inal on the resident sportsman, who is al- 

 most always perfectly willing to contribute 

 to the support of his pastime second, be- 

 cause it enables the game commission to 

 keep tabs on who does the shooting, legal 

 and otherwise ; they advocate non-sale of 

 game, because while there is a market for 

 game, worthless individuals who would 

 rather make a precarious living by shooting 

 than to work for it will violate all game 

 laws and disregard all bag limits, and such 

 men and merchants are a potent factor in 

 game decrease ; they advocate a closed 

 season for a term of years on such birds
