Tliese large trout baked or boiled are most de- 

 licious, but for frying tlie small ones are much 

 preferable. 



TRANSPORTATION OF LIVE TROUT. 

 Mr. Page, the President of the Angling Asso- 

 ciation, took to the fishing gTounds a very pecu- 

 liar box, made expressly for transporting live 

 trout to his jilace in New Jersey. It is lined 

 with sponge to prevent injury to the fish, and 

 has a sliding cover, fitting tightly, with numer- 

 ous air holes. An air pump is attached, and a 

 man is employed to accompany the box, whose 

 duty it is to supply fresh air to the trout, the 

 water not being clianged for the entire distance. 

 Mr. Page this season took to his artificial trout 

 ponds in Stanley, N. J., sixty-two trout, in 

 the above manner, weighing from ^ to 3 pounds 

 each — only two of his take of sixty-four dying on 

 the way. The said box caused considerable 

 amusement at the railway stations, as it was 

 supposed to contain rattlesnakes. Some of the 

 railroad employees of Celtic lineage actually 

 refused to assist in moving the cage.
