MARYLAND--Baltimore, May 19.--
Messrs. Leonard Levell, Leonardus Levering, and Frank W. Thomas have just returned from Cobb's Island, which is one of the best sportsman's resorts on the Maryland coast. They left Baltimore about ten days ago, going to Norfolk, thence to Cherrystone, Va., where vehicles were procured, and the party drove to Cobb's Landing, where they embarked and crossed the sound to the island. The accommodations were found first class. Good weather prevailed, but the sport was rather tame. A few days' shooting laid three hundred snipe, which was the principal game abounding. The fishing was very good, some fine sea trout and mullett being caught, while from forty to fifty drum-fish were hooked, ranging all the way from thirty to one hundred pounds. The angling for them was conducted by casting long lines out beyond the surf, and rather troublesome and tiresome it was too. Robin breasts had not put in an appearance. Some few sharks were being caught, but no real fun in the sport, it being too tame yet. The shooting is very fine on the island from the 20th July until the 1st August.
