SATISFACTORY bags have been the
rule for the hunters during the past
week and several new comers have been
added to the number who are enjoying
the best sport of recent years.
Among the late arrivals are Mr. and
Mrs. I. D. Ralph of Philadelphia. Mr.
Ralph is a thorough sportsmen and a
dead shot and Mrs. Ralph is also fond
of shooting. Last year she was content
with an occasional shot at a dove, squir
rel or rabbit, but this year she is trying
her skill at birds on the wing and scoring
frequent kills, not only in the open but
the thick cover as well. On his first
hunt Mr. Ralph started eight coveys and
secured 15 quail.
V, C. Johnson of New York, has been
varying quail shooting with a try at the
crafty wild turkey, spending Monday
aud Tuesday at the sport. The reward
of the first days hunt was a "look'' at a
flock of ten or twelve birds, and on the
second day a shot was had at a distai.co
of one hundred yards. Mr. Johnson has
found a number of ducks and has b:igged
a few of them.
Mr, and Mrs. F. M. Lawern'je and
Miss Ethel Lawrence of New York,
are here for shooting, and Miss
Lawrence frequently hunts with her
father. On a trip Wednesday ten birds
were secured from 5 coveys.
J. Lynde Briggs and W. B. Gage of
Saratoga, N, Y., have returned home to
spend Christmas, but Mr. Gage left his
dog and is planning to return in the
course of a few weeks with Mrs. Gage,
and Mr. Briggs looks forward to another
visit later in the season. On an after
noons trip early in the week, the sports
men bagged 18 quail from six coveys,
and but one single bird was flushed. A
woodcock was also secured.
V. F. de Ilayues of New, York, re
turned Wednesday night from a two
days hunt at the western end of the
preserve.
Milton Jordan of Peekskill, N. Y., is
finding good sport close to the Village.
