: 
slipped the bridle over my arm, and 
walking close to the horse’s head kept 
moving in a semi-circular direction 
nearer the bird. This proved very suc- 
cessful as I was only about 35 yards 
off when the plover took to wing and 
was promptly brought to bag.. Pur- 
suing the same tactics with each I 
wound up in the afternoon with a bag 
of ten or twelve of these delicious birds 
and rode home well content with my 
success. 
The upland plover has a plaintive 
eall of two short notes, but I have 
never known them to have been whistled 
down to within shot as are so many true 
plover and bay snipe. At the present 
time I know of no locality in the East 
where the upland plover can be found 
in sufficient numbers to render its pur- 
suit, if not a sport, even an amusing 
pastime. The sportsman of to-day, keen 
on some early shooting must, there- 
fore, select some other game to whet his 
appetite for better things to come as 
the summer fades gradually into au- 
tumn. If, therefore, bent on a little 
early practice he may now have a few 
days rail shooting or prefer the much 
better sport afforded by the shore birds. 
Tee sportsman who does not happen 
to have his own boat and “rig” or 
who does not live near the coast may 
nevertheless enjoy excellent sport of 
this kind by engaging the services of 
anyone of the many professional gun- 
ners who now charge from five to eight 
dollars a day for their services together 
with the necessary boats and decoys. 
Reasonable board with good country 
fare can always be had either with the 
gunners or close at hand. Should one 
not know of some favorite locality and 
dependent upon the time available and 
distance to travel, I would suggest com- 
municating either with Crumb Brothers 
of Oyster, Va. on the Broadwater, north 
of Cape Charles, where excellent sport 
can be had in August and September; 
Eugene A. Jackson, East Quoque, Long 
Island, N. Y. Ren Overton, of the 
same address, or, still farther afield, 
with William Wishart, Wishart’s Point 
Post Office, Province of New Bruns- 
wick, Canada. 
The September number of 
Forest and Stream will con- 
tain a synopsis of the game 
laws for 1924-5. They will 
be printed in tabulated form, 
and this fact makes them a 
valuable asset to the sports- 
man. We advise you to pre- 
serve your September copy 
for ready reference. Com-
