season was over it was estimated that there 
were not less than 10,000,000 birds in the flight. 
From that day to this, however, no eye. so far 
as is known, has ever seen them. 
MASSACHUSETTS SPRING SHOOTING. 
The bill now before the Legislature to put 
an end to the spring shooting season is one 
which appeals strongly to every true sportsman 
and one which will find opposition only among 
the small number of men who shoot on Cape 
Cod and the so-called “North shore,” says the 
Springfield Republican. It is a pernicious prac¬ 
tice, which has been on the increase during late 
years, and there is nothing which will so soon 
put an end to our duck and shore bird shooting. 
Spring shooting means the killing of migratory 
shore birds while on their way from the South, 
where they have v/intered, to the fastnesses of 
the North, where they go to rear their young. 
It is commonly understood that many of these 
ducks, geese, plover and kindred birds, have 
mated either before they start for the nesting 
grounds, or while on their way there. The re¬ 
sult is that when one is shot down it means a 
number less birds that will return South in the 
fall. It is literally a killing of the goose that 
lays the sportsman’s golden egg. There is no 
spring shooting in the western part of the State, 
and the men on the coast will doubtless feel that 
there is no- call for others to try to protect 
them against themselves. But if this were all 
that there were at stake it would not matter 
much. It is almost impossible to teach even 
a game hog not to make the endeavor to get 
all four feet into the trough. But there are 
others to be considered as well as our sports¬ 
manlike fellow-citizens along the Cape. Every 
bird they kill counts against the pleasure of the 
hunters to the north and south of them. 
The woodcock and the wild pigeon have 
suffered from this sort of thing in a way. The 
winter woodcock shooting in the South, and es¬ 
pecially in the I.ouisiana parishes, has de¬ 
creased the number of the flight birds most 
noticeably. It is hard to say which is the more 
harmful, winter or spring shooting. The latter 
really seems wicked for its sentimental reasons 
alone. But your spring shooter, with a pipe be¬ 
tween his teeth and whiskey in his hip pockets, 
is not a sentimentalist and he doesn’t much care 
what becomes of things in general as long as 
the flight is good and the weather cold enough 
to furnish a good excuse. The men in the 
North, where the birds nest, tell a sorry tale of 
the decrease in the number of ducks and geese 
that visit their marshes nowadays. They at¬ 
tribute it largely to the spring shooting along 
the coast, and they say that it should be 
stopped. The men of the Cape will fight the 
bill in the Legislature, and they may have in¬ 
fluence enough to win out, but they certainly 
have no element of right or sportsmanship on 
their side. 
A VACATION AND FOREST FIRES. 
Concluded from page 730. 
and Ur. Ayres brought in some fine strings of 
brook trout. About the camp-fire—that was a 
nightly occurrence until the forest fires 
threatened—the guests had rollicking good 
times, with tale and song, interlarded with corn- 
roasts, beefsteak roasts, marsh-mallow roasts, 
etc., and many warm friendships were formed, 
fudge Ermston and wife. Dr. Ayres and wife, 
Mr. and Mrs. Cranston, Mr. and Mrs. Grove, 
Mrs. Berry, Mrs. and Miss Griffith, Messrs. 
Pierson, Taylor, Thomas, and myself, remained 
longest and fraternized harmoniously. Boating 
on thjs lake and woodland tramps were fre¬ 
quently indulged in, and the majority of the 
party went on a trip together over the Big 
Springs. As usual, T was the last guest while 
the hotel remained open, and stayed there alone 
for nearly three weeks, finally leaving on the 
last day of October.
