TROUT. 



The offer of premiums for the best living trout not less than six i n 

 number, was a happy thought. The result did very much to interest 

 the visitors to the Hall, as proved by the continuous crowd of persons 

 of all ages whiph swarmed around the tanks containing the bea utiful 

 specimens. There were three entries, but only one, that of Hon. 

 Ohio Whitney of Ashburnham, contained the requisite number of 

 fish artificially raised. Trout of one to four years old, "perfect 

 beauties,-' as every one said, looking "good enough to eat," disported 

 themselves in a way that made it hard to keep hands off. 



The artificial propagation of fish is an interest that is constantly in- 

 creasing in magnitude, although the growth of only some half dozen 

 years. There are a number of breeders of trout in our vicinity who 

 are attaining an apparent success that affords much gratification. We 

 hope to see them all represented in our future exhibitions, and also in 

 competition for the premiums for the best experiment in raising trout.
