Transportation -- Railroad - ConstructionTourists and sportsmen -- Field sports - Hunting : Waterfowl and shorebird

Mr. McCready, the President of the Old Dominion line of steamers, who is a thorough sportsman, by the way, is building a new line of railroad which will open up a grand wild fowl country -- Chincoteague, Northampton, Accomac, and adjacent islands to the north, in Worcester county, Maryland, which are now difficult of access, and where a breech loader is seldom seen. Our sportsmen will be under great obligations, for Currituck is full; every point worth anything is taken at a large figure.
