A New York sportsman and early advocate of game protection writes of shooting along the coasts and inland waters of the northern states: bay-snipe and rail, wild ducks on the lakes, days at Montauk Point and on the Jersey coast. He compares muzzle-loaders with the new breech-loaders and describes each bird’s plumage and habits.
