BignmentT At times there are as many as 3,000 birds in one of the large d sheds when an order arrives for 200 or 300. The method 8v cmiJoyed In hatching- -usr them is novel and quick. A number of bojs enter the house with the usual ship ping crate or coop, while others carry nets affixed to long poles, similar to the crab net of the fisherman. As the bird flies in terror from this device, he is neatly scooped in, and, before ho realizes where he is, the cover of thecrato closes on him, and he is h prhoner. In most cases the dead birds are not the property of the shooter, who has been fortunate enough to bring them down, but nre sold by the club or proprietors of the grounds. The pigeons at this stage nre often made to masquerade as squabs, and are soil for market, the usual rate being one dollar a Accidents almost innumerable are of Bohemia, Charged to the sport-me- n showing extreme, cureless news in the ho ml ii njr of heir" gsn n flic year 18H3 they shot aud killed 50 women and wire-nette- children and wounded 2,104 persons.
