 fingerlings, six cans, they came into Newboro on the evening train, B. & W. E. E,, 

 in care of Inspector J. M. Hurly, of Belleville. Got them conveyed by cart to my

 Jones Falls, and patrolled the different lakes of the Eideau Canal with the "Mer- 

 miaid'^ to Eideau Ferry, where we met Overseer Phillips and his assistant on 

 their way to Eideau Lake, we took them in tow, and returned to big Eideau Lake, 

 where we erected a tent and camped over night in company with Mr. Phillips and 

 our assistants, we patrolled with two rowboats until midnight, and discovered that 

 salmon had not commenced their spawning yet, we patrolled with the "Mermaid." 

 October 10th and 11th, patrolled southward on the Eideau Canal in my own 

 district to the Eiver Styx, going as far as Kingston Mills, and thoroughly inves- 

 tigating every thing looking any way suspicious, or like illegal fishing, as we went 

 along, we stayed at Kingston Mills over night. Thursday, 12th, after looking the 

 plkce over carefully in the interests of the fisheries at Kingston Mills, in the 

 afternoon we returned to Jones Falls, ending perhaps, the last trip of the season
