WHERE ARE THEY 



brook-trout that will turn the scales at eight and nine 

 pounds. In 



NEW YORK BAY 



and Hudson River, the favorite ground of the vigorous and 

 enticing striped basse, that ranges from Chesapeake Bay far 

 up the Eastern coast, entering the Potomac, the Delaware, 

 the Passaic, the Hackensack, the Raritan, Newark, and other 

 bays and rivers, frequenting Harlem River, and furnishing 

 sport at Hell Gate, Pelham, and King's Bridge ; also the beau- 

 tiful squeteague, the highly-prized sheepshead, the tautog, 

 and others of the finny family. In the wild and elevated re- 

 gions of 



PENNSYLVANIA, 



the tributaries of the Delaware, Susqtiehanna, and brooks 

 that run into the main river, furnish " speckled beauties " in 

 sufficient numbers to satisfy the most ardent sportsman. 

 Passing into 



THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 



we find the well-known White Lake, where trout have been 

 taken of seven and three-quarters pounds' weight ; and the 

 wild, romantic White Lake Creek, the resort of the late Rev. 

 Gurdon Huntington, who thus apostrophizes on the beauties 

 of this charming brook : 



" O lonely, wild, romantic stream ! with thee 

 And with the regions where thy waters gleam, 

 There are blithe memories woven of fair youths, 

 Sunny and glad and winning as with rocks 

 And lonely cliffs upon the ocean shore, 

 Majestic and rude, on Memory's glass 

 Are blent the images of lovely vines, 

 And soft, young blossoms of the tinted moss."
