President Cleveland's recent hunting trip in North Carolina, where he bagged 31 brant, geese, and possibly a loon, is praised in Washington but locals consider it poor, noting Capt. Wm. A. Wade killed 11 ducks at one shot and up to 45 have been killed similarly.

President Cleveland and his party have been considerably lauded for their success in bagging ducks and geese in the North Carolina sounds. It seems that the natives of the coast fail to render to the President's prowess that admiration that has been generally accorded him. We copy from the last issue of the Beaufort Herald one of its local hunting items and also a reference to Cleveland's shooting:
"Capt. Wm. A. Wade killed eleven black ducks near the straits at one shot last week. This is not considered a very big shot either. There have been killed at one shot in this county forty-five. Mr. Cleveland has come and gone and with him he took back to Washington thirty-one North Carolina brant and several geese and maybe a loon. It was considered a great big lot of game in Washington. A fisherman casually remarked: "I think it d-n poor hunting."
