PACKING UP 15 



pounds, last night." " Yes," said our neighbour 

 to us as the train moved off, " and by the time 

 he reaches the next station the four brace will 

 have grown to six, and, like Falstaff's ' men in 

 buckram,' they will be a dozen brace before he 

 reaches the end of his journey." As a matter of 

 fact, on our return home in the train we actually 

 saw with our own eyes, and with some envy in 

 our hearts, nineteen fine pound trout, shown to 

 us by two young fellows who had that day caught 

 them with the caddow in a neighbouring stream. 

 I quitted our head-quarters on the i2th, and 

 left the disconsolate Professor packing up. May 

 we meet again soon, and in better weather! 



Since -writing the foregoing I regret to learn that the 

 Mr. W. referred to on page 7 died some time ago. His 

 business as a Fishing Tackle seller, a producer of Game- 

 birds' feathers, and as a maker of artificial flies, all ex- 

 cellent in their -way, is still carried on by his widow, and 

 there is no reason why her name and address should not 

 be given in full.
