Probably th'o most unique character on the
turf today H "I'lug Hot" McCarthy , say.4 the
Now York Continent. Ho drifted across the
continent u few years ago with two or three
fair-class horses and was soon tlio talk of the
snorting world. With the conlldeuco of Sam
Bryant and the cuteness of n George Forbes
ho was not taken In by the Philistines , but
took thorn In. Ho got the sobriquet of "Plug
Hat" from the remarkable plcco of head-
gonr which ho traveled nrotnid in. This lint ,
u nightmare In itself , McCarthy looks upon
a a fetich. Without tlio hat ho Is nn
ordinary-looking Canadian. It Is n whlto
beaver thnt has passcu not unscathed through
many campaigns. It Is brushed the wrong-
way nnil is so awry and scarecrowlsh thnt
tliti people of tender susceptibilities hnvo the
creeps on .seeing It.
But that unsightly , ungainly thing Is the
pride nnd joy of McCarthy's hfo. There is
n tradition that ho once wont to the tnick
without It and got cleaned out. That was
shortly lifter ho came cast and the first blasts
of eastern ctlltuio began to nffoct him. The
ono oxxricnco | was enough , however , and
soon the old hat was resurrected mid put In
Its usual place on tlio head of the reigning
member of the McCarthy dynasty. Mr. Mc
Carthy would not bet counterfeit money on
a horse If ho were minus that tlio.

LnxtxoTox , Xob. , , April JO. Sxiclal [ Cor
respondence to Tun BEE : Tito sportsmen
are now In their glory , as the wild fowl are
hero in unprecedented numbers.
The geese nro cvcti moro numerous this
spring than they were last year. They fly In
myriads ovck1 the town at morning and evening -
ing , their weird "honk , honk , " sounding like
a last melancholy remnant of uncivllizntlou.
They urn resting midway on their trip from
the south to the Canadian lakes , where they
will nest. For about six wcoks , Doth In
spring and summer , they linger in immcnso
Hocks along this part of tlio I'latte , whoso
wealth of sandbars they appreciate. Their
tlatlv habits nro wonderfully rturular ; nt day
break they Ily to the Hold ? , three or four
miles distant , and feed on the grains for an
hour or two ; then they return to the river
ami stand solemnly on tno sandbars.
Ono never sees them swim , although
they sometimes unbend sufficiently from
their dignity to wade In the water. An hour
or HO before durlt they again seek the Ucltls to
obtain their supper , and that accomplished
they hasten back to the river to pass the
night. They seek no shelter , but sleep as
they hnvo stood all d y , boldly out on the
open burs. They appear to lead ordojly , well-
regulated' lives , and countenance nothing
frivolous nor trifling In their circle * . Wild
ROCSO nro "geese" In mime only , being among
the wariest ni'd most sagacious of birds.
The most popular way of shooting tbom Is
from a Wind behind decoys. Thu blintls nro
variously constructed according to the local
ity. In tha Holds the sportsman frequently
digs a hole largo enough to contain his body ,
cts out his deem 3 , and then proceeds to en
joy his damp and cramped quarters until a
Hock alights to Inspect their lifeless proto
types. Occasionally a screen is. constructed
of brush or corn stalks behind which the
hunter Is more comfortably ensconscd , if not
so thoroughly hidden.
On the river bars screens nro In variably re
sorted to ns holes quickly 1111 up with water ,
( jtinny sacks nro used on account of tnclr
color harmonizing so closely with thnt of the
sand. It Is so nearly impossible to npflro.tch
geese closely thnt they nro almost invariably
shot on the wing. Before they becorrro fa-
millur with decoys they are rendllv nttracted
toward them. Tin decoys , the kind most In
use , are Hut ; thcv look like gecio from the
side only. The Hock ( Has toward nnd around
them but when they hover directly above the
decoys , lookimr down vertically , the
latter appear to bo gone. The pceso
are confused and Ily back and forth si number
of times , attempting to solve the phouomcnon.
As a couscqucnco'hunters nro sometimes able
to shoot half a dozen times at the same Hock.
But after a tow such experiences the geese
become used to the ilccoys nnd the instant
they p icrcelvo that tho. Hock on the ground
has disappeared thoywaro frightened and
away.
On the sand-bars , whcro the gcoso stand
all day , very successful shooting is dona by
two hunters acting in collusion. Ono re
mains behind n blind with decoys adjusted ,
and the other passes along the sands firing
nttho birds wltharillo. They rise frightened ,
but are attracted by the demure decoys. A
hundred iu n day is not nn unusual number
for a couple of men to bag in this way.
The physical discomforts of hunting geese
nro greater than with other game ; one must
Ho crnmiwd In the same position for several
hours with the absolute certainty of contract-
lug a cold or rheumatism from contact with
the damp earth. The number of successful
shots is less than with smaller game ; if a
man gets u brace of geese in an hour or so ho
docs well , where , with smaller birds , ha
would bo expected to bag a dozen.
Thcro nro three principal varieties of geese :
the Canada , tha white brant aud tha speckled
brant. * All are shy , and all lire afraid of tin
decoys , but the Canada geese is thn
most dlfUcult to shoot. It is a mag
nificent bird ; his color is gray
with n white collar under his throat uu'tl
reaching to whcro his ears would bo if ho
wcro built like a man. Ho weighs from
eight to fifteen pounds. Tha white brant
is nearly white , the tips of the wings being
dark nnd weighs from llvo to cloven pounds.
But the speckled brant Is n beauty , n sight
to delight/ the eyes of any hunter. Ho is
covered with glossy , bluto-colored plumage ,
speckled with white on the breast.
OpinionH vary regarding the delicacy of
the ilesli of the wild gooso. The speckled
brniit is the choicest , but none of them nro
extremely tender. The flush should bo
bruised thoroughly by a beefsteak pounder ,
parboiled for three or four hours , or until
tender , and then browned in the oven.
A sort of third cousin to the geese Is the
crane. Ho arrives in Nebraska about two
wcoks later and prolongs his stay accord
ingly. Thcro are two kinds of them , tha
blue , or sand-hill crane , and the white crane.
The latter is the Inrger. They move In Hocks
of from four nnd llvo to twenty-five or
fifty ; their habits of feeding arc similar to
these of tha gecso. Tha cranes are peculiar
creatures ; they fly higher than geese ; sometimes -
times they bocln circling , for amusement ,
anparently , going round i nd round , * each
ctrclo higher than thb last , until they ara
lost to sight , but .yelling all the timo. The
westerners say 'they "holler. " The noise
they make is incredibly loud , often belncr
hoard for four miles. Their strange cry can
bo heard when tha bird Is flying too high for
tha unaided eye to detect It ,
Tha crane , was obviously intended to "holler"
for his wind pipe rolls and curls around his
wlsh-bonn Hue the convolutions'of a French
horso. The flesh Is not valuable as food. It
is tender but possesses n peculiar sweet
flavor disagreeably suggastlvb of toads and
young snakes. The breast is composed of
dark moat aud tha legs of whlto. They stay
nround the snnd-bars mostlv like the gocso ,
but wade out moro Into the wntcr , as their
prodigiously long logs adapt thorn to , do.
Thcso birds swim , in the south and cast , hut
they never attempt that mode of locomotion
in western rivers.
Another bird found in largo numbers on
the sand bats is the duck. There are moro
varieties of them than any other ono bird.
Tliov pause hero , while migrating , and every
kind , tha salt-water ducks alona oxcoptcd , is
represented during the spring nnd mitumn.
They como.by thousands , varying all tbo way
from the choicer mallard to the humble mud-
hen aud sbytepoku They are light-headed
and giddy compared with the stately gocso ;
their habits are very Irregular and they fly
alxiut from stream to pond and from pond to
slough , being very Indefinite In their ideas
about the proper hour for returning to the
river. They pnssess the mcrjt of being easy
to shoot but a retriever la necessary to secure
them.
A dainty bird that arrives In large numbers
about the mldnlo of April H tha plover.
There are two kinds , the prairie pigeon ,
which Is very shy , and the Greater Vollow
Legs , not so shy. Thcso pretty little creat
ures arc about the size of , nuall. The plumage -
ago is a soft brown gray with white breast.
They go In pairs ana are partial to newly
burned ground , hundreds ot thorn belug
found on a burned patch of 40 acres. They
are afraid of n man on foot but are not
alarmed at the approach of a carriage. Three
or four men drive out for-an hour's shooting
land , tiring from the carriage , kill 50 or ISO in
that time. They rest all over the northwest.
The flesh of the plover is dohcata and
delicious lit flavor ; they are extremely easy
to shoot , their flight being slow and waver-

White brant nnd speckled brant are mis

gray gull , breaking its wing , Since
then the crippled bird has been around

to its more fortunate com
panions who wore sailing round

and executing all the pretty movements

The Girl Who Swore.
Chlbago Post : "You just ought to
have heard her ! " ho exclaimed.
"Who's thnt ? " asked the other man.
"I don't know her name , but she is
one of these amateur actresses. "
"Well , what did she doV"
"Wo were having a rehearsal of
'Broken Bones' up at the club. She
came from some dramatic institution or
other to help tho1 boys out , and didn't
know well , I won't toll you his name
iv way , up actoi : was going to bo present
to coach us. Of course ho was intro
duced to her , ' and then she be
gan to .ask him questions.
I believe It' must have boon the
llrst time she had ever talked to a
llvo actor. She asked him all about
everything until ho was clean worn out ,
and when she capped the climax by bog
ging him to toll her how to become a
great actress like Sarah Bornlmrdt wo
all saw ho had blood in his eyes , "
"What did ho toll her ? "
"Ho looked at her benignly , put his
hand on her shoulder in a fatherly sort
of way ho's not a young man and said :
'My dear , it's just as easy as anything , if
you only have the secret. Mrs James
Brown-Potter once olTored mo her Cleo
patra jewels If I'd tell horbut I wouldn't.
Now , you are a very nice little girl , I
like your style , and If you'll promlso to
lot mo bo your manager when you got
great I'll toll you the secret. ' "
"Welly"
"Sho promised quicker than light
ning. Then ho put both hands on her
shoulders , looked Into her young blue
eyes and said : 'Swear , swear like a
trooper , swear till you're black In the
face. Only swear. That's all ana If
you do it I'll guarantee that you will1 bo
a greater actress than Fanny Daven
port. '
"Tho girl believed every word of It
and thanked him profusely. Then the
rehearsal began and all of us watched
to see what she would do. It was
plain during the first act that she
was nerving herself to a 'groat ef
fort of Bomo kind , and her faco' was
lighted up by the glow of determination.
Just as wo were about to go on for the
second act she came out of her dressing-
room , valked directly up to the stage
manager and in a low , trembling voice ,
said : 'Mr. Stage Manager , this dress
doesn't fit mo and I won't wear It. Ho
there , by d n ! ' And then "
"What Jiapponed then ? "
"Sho wont back to her dressing-room
mid had a good cry. "
