SPORTSMEN are cautioned, by advertisement in another column, against shooting any imported birds, including Californian quail. Tuis and native quail are also protected under au Act of the General Assembly, and persons shooting any birds of the species above described are liable to heavy penalties. All true sportsmen will pay attention to this notice, knowing how necessary it is in the interests of acclimatisation that these birds should for the present be preserved, and so long as this is for the general good, and not that .of any particular class, any enactments passed" in such a direction will meet with the approval of all loversof sport with dog and gun, and of the community generally, whilst at the same time it is certain that the majority of the community would view with great, disfavor any attempt to establish a game law here after the model of those in the old country, which are framed not in the interests of the many but of the few.
