the field as evenly matched as any ever
assembled here; special interest being
given to the event by the use of both

SPORT ROYAL THE RULE
Wild Turkey Hunting Gives Zest to
Sport with Dog and Gun.
Crafty Ilird Plentiful and Muny
IBag-g-ed Quuil Hunter JVIuU
n g- "Limit" Kill.
PORT ROYAL is the rule
these rare January days
for lovers of dog and
gun, zest being given to
the sport by wild turkey
hunting and the killing
of a number of these magnificent game
birds, which have never been more
abundant than at the present time.
Ordinarily the turkey is a bit too
crafty to suit the desires of the strenu
ous bird hunters, but this season, under
the hypnotic influence of Kelley Everett,
the local hunter whose fame has been
responsible for the nickname, "Turkey"
Everett, and his son, also an adept in
woodcraft, many of these splendid birds
have been lured within the range of
eager sportsmen.
Early morning is the hour chosen, the
method being to first find and "squander"
the flock, the guide luring the birds
back with the "yelp"' or assembling call.
A delicate task it is and one acquired
only by long practise, but that it is a
deadly method of attack, is proven by
the many glistening trophies which have
been displayed in the hotels during the
past ten days. ..
First of all to try the sport was W. C.
Johnson of New York, who has long:
had his heart set upon the achievement,
a beautiful gobbler being the reward.
Later in company with C. M. Brett of
Brookline, and Leonard Tufts, a group
of five birds were called within range,
but the strain proved too great for the
party aud, like Lot's wife, a turn and a
look proved undoing.
Next to try their luck were Conover
Fitch of Boston, and F. B. Hussey of
Pittsburg, and with excellent results,
both bagging handsome birds and enjoy
ing several exciting hunts.
Interest thus awakened has led to
plans for many similar trips and a sport
long neglected here, because of its sup
posed difficulties, promises to be an im
portant one. It is doubtful if there are
the country over, two more expert guides
than the Everetts, for what they do not
know about the wild turkey is not worth
knowing. To hear the elder Everett
discourse upon the turkey and its de
