The St. Lawrence Hall at Montreal is once more in the

 men \ biting Canadian salmon rivers will receive from him 

 all needed intormaLiorr regarding outfits, rivers, etc. 



— The Bay View House, on tlie Long Island Railroad, one 

 and one-half miles from Good Ground, has facilities for sum- 

 mer enjoyment. Boating, bathing, ftshiag and shooting are 

 the attractions. 



— A further addition to the literature of Western railroad 

 guide books is the pamphlet published by the St. Louis, 

 Minneapolis and St. Paul Short Line, which contains matter 

 of interest to the tourist -sportsman. Tbe circular may be ob- 

 tained of Mr.W. G. Telfer, Ticket Agent, Minneapolis, Minn. 



MoBkidb Flies. — Miss Sara J, McBride, whose flies have 

 long been popular among anglers, is about to close up her 

 business, and offers stock on hand at prices which are below 

 cost. This is a rare opportunity for procuring some excel- 

 lent tackle at a merely nominal price. Miss McBride's ad- 

 dress is Mnmfiird, N. Y. 



Notes Pbom the Editok. — Quebec, Juris 8.— The rivers 

 are all high, and no salmon are yet reported. Parties have 

 been on some of the best rivers for 10 days past. There are 

 sn unusual number of sportsmen here from Europe and the 

 I' nited States, en route to the rivers, and many have already 

 gone down. Eussell's six cottages on the Marguerite are all 

 occupied. I shall be on the Godhout by tbe 1 3ih of June, which 

 will be in ample season for the first run of fish. Sotheru and 

 Florence passed down two days ago. Allan Gilmour's yacht 

 Cruiser has been doing her fifteen miles an hour from the 

 staxt. She is a crack craft. All well on board. Weather 

 here miserably cold, with hail and Bnow yesterday. While at 

 Prescott the other day I heard of an 82-pound muskalonge 

 having been taken at Brockville the day before with troll, 

 which is the largest specimen of this species I have any record 

 of. The weight is well worth noting. Hallook. 



Digging for Wobms.— All Limestone Coanty, Texas, is 

 digging for worms— angle-worms I Every old stianty in the 

 county has been overhauled, the floors pulled up, and great 

 holes dug under them deep enough for wells. The rise in 

 the worm market began about two weeks ago, when a darkey 

 in Marliu imbibed too much whisky, and told the tavern 

 loungers how he had been digging for worms. It seems that 

 near Rock Dam are the ruins of a shanty, in which a certain 

 bachelor named McKissick, who dwelt alone on the Brazos 

 some fifteen years ago, was murdered one night. Since that 

 time the hut has fallen into decay, and the spot shunned by 

 the superstitious passer-by. The other day a darkey, who 

 was going fishing, entered the crumbling, floorless building 

 and began digging for earth-worms. He forthwith unearthed 

 an iron pot, and uncovering it, found a heap of gold coin, 

 $10 and $20 pieces— $8,000 in all. He didn't go fishing, but 

 he did go off on a spree and tell everybody else all about it ; 

 and everybody has gone to digging worms. 



Tough Look.— Little Rock, Minn., fisherman falls into 

 •water; crawls out; hangs clothes over fire to dry ; clothes 

 burn up ; fisherman naked, three miles from home ; woman 

 comes aiong ; fisherman plunges up to chin in water ; woman 

 lends petticoat ; grand procession a la Robinson Crusoe. 



Canada — Matapedia, June% — My catch of salmon to-day 

 numbers four j total weight, 49 lbs. The water in the river is 

 falling rapidly, and sport begins to be fast and furious. The 

 following gentlemen are here : Messrs. C. L. Tiffany, J, W. 

 Little, H. J. Wilson, L. Winchester, E. Titus, E. Titus Jr., 

 E. T. Roberts and R. S. Hall, from your city; Judge W. 

 Strong, Washington, D. C, and Wm. Neyle Habersham, of 

 Savannah. So far L. W. Wiuches-tr stands at the head, hav- 

 ing killed the largest fish, 33 lbs., unless Judge Strong's fish 

 (his first salmon, which I saw a few minutes ago headed down 

 stream with the worthy dispenser of justice tugging at him 

 with a deteimination which bespeaks capture if the tackle 

 holds) should prove the 35-pounder that we have all been 

 looking after. Stasstead. 



New Bbtlns'wick — Bathurst, May 29. — There is good fish- 

 ing in Nepisiquit River or on Bay De'Jhaleur. J."H. W. 



Maisk — h'irch Lodge, MoUchunkmnwrtJc, via Andover, June 

 1, — Fishing interfered with by high water. No larf;c strings 

 reported as yet, and not as many fishermen as usual. Gen. 

 Butler and party had good success at Middle Dam last week. 

 Fly fishing moderately good at Oquossoc Club waters and at 

 the head of Molechuukamunk, near Whittier's Camp, at 

 which place tTolluig has been quite successful. Mr. Ilollings- 

 worth, of Boston, took a seven-pound trout in this manner, 

 and two gentlemen fishing the Richardson ponds, May 28, 

 took two Bah weighing 6.J and of pounds, aud several smaller 

 ones. Black flies just beginning to be troublesome. J. 



Mimaon, June 1. — Trout lishiDg has opened splendidly. 

 Never knew a time before when so many trout have been 

 taken in the month of May as this year. I think fully 1,500 

 speckled trout have been taken from Bear and Doughty 

 Ponds each ; ibis last May also a large number from Hebron 

 and Mouson Ponds, several weighing 3} pounds each. We 

 think sporlstuen will find here as good sport for them as can 

 be found in the country. Several* parties have visited these 

 ponds for one day's sport, and brought home 50 to 7~< each, 

 Mr. J. C. Tripp, proprietor of the Chapin Hotel, is the right 

 man for tho sportsmen ; always pleasant and read)- to serve 

 his guests. Ned. 



Oqitoshoo Angling Association. — Camp Kmnebago, Eange- 

 ley, Maine, June 6.— The Association held its annual meeting 

 at Camp Keimebatro. Maine, on June 4 insl. and selected the 

 following Trustee. : John II. Kimball, of Bath, Me., Presi- 

 dent ; Louis B. Heed, of N. Y., Tice-President, ; James A. 

 Williamson, of Jersey City, Secretary and Treasurer; Geo. 

 bheparrt Page, of Stanley, N. .).; Rev. R. E. Bootb, D. D., 

 of N. Y i Geo. P. Koweil, of N. I.j Adon Smith, Jr., of N. 

 Y. ; Geo. A. Bobbins, of N. N., and Royal C. Taft, of Provi- 

 dence, B, I. 



Movements of tbe Fishinq Fleet. — The arrivals this 

 week have been 83, as follows : 34 from Geosges, with 18,- 

 600 pounds of halibut and 1,008,000 pounds codfish ; 8 from 

 the Banks, with 161.300 pounds halibut and 90,000 codfish ; 

 18 inshore fishermen with 210,000 pounds codfish; 20 

 Southern mackerel catchers with 1,500 barrels mackerel; 5 

 squid catchers with very small catch, and one vessel with 

 herring. — Cape Ann Advertiser, June 0. 



New York — Uornellsville, June 9. — Messrs. Jilson, Kenedy 

 and Davenport have just returned from Pine Creek, Pa., 

 with a bushel of dressed brook trout. They were gone just 

 one week. Distance from here, about, forty miles— an easy 

 day's drive. Stopped at Flynn's, who keeps a temperance 

 hotel. Charges, for three men and two horses, one week, 

 $7.25. Borne of our politicians say that Flynn's charges 

 were exorbitant, but I should say it was cheaper to stop with 

 him than to stay at home. The" §7,25 included dressing the 

 fi3h and packing in ice, J. Otis Fellows. 



The Adieondaoks — June 1. — A desired rain has cleared 

 the air from its smoky condition, and the woods to-day are 

 looking fresh and beautiful. Owing to ihe Very high water, 

 trolling for trout and taking them with a fly have been the 

 poorest known for years. The usual rush of sporlsmen is 

 very limited. At Paul Smith's I find registered : Dr. Tru- 

 deau and family, of New York ; Mr. Hollingsworth, of Bos- 

 ton ; Superintendent Pilisbury, of Albany. At the Prospect 

 House, Upper Saranac l,ake : Dr. Dunton and Mr. Riddle, 

 of Pennsylvania. At Bartlett's Sportsmen's Home : Col. T. 

 J. Hoyt, of St. Louis, Mo.; Dr. Romeyn and family and 

 Miss Sue Baber, of Eeeseville, N. T.; Dr. Tallmadge and 

 Rev. Mr. Bull; J. M. Winante, of Bergen Point, N. J.; 

 Messrs. Tileston and Mudge, Boston, Maes. Vice-President 

 Wheeler was there two days, and, to the regret of all, was 

 called home, owing to the death of his sister. At Corey's, 

 the Messrs. Van Woerl, of Brooklyn. Mr. W. H. Penfield is 

 camping on Fourth Pond. Crouk has given up possession 

 ot the hotel on Big Tuppers, and Mr. McClure installed as 

 proprietor. Cannot something be done to enforce the game 

 laws ? The Upper Lake is full of set-lines, and an abundance 

 of trout taken therefrom. Ool. Hoyt and Dr. Romeyn, as in 

 years past, have this year also removed several of these lines. 

 If the landlords would enforce the law instead of purchasing 

 the trout taken, it would materially aid in checking the in- 

 famous destruction. Something must be done shortly, or 

 trout will only be a thing of the past. The steamboat whistle 

 will soon grate upon the ears of the true sportsman here, as 

 the steamers commence their trips soon, to the entire disgust 

 of all but a selfish few. The hotels in this region are all 

 well kept. My next from other points, where I go soon. 



S. S. N. 



New Jersey— Barnq/at Inlet, May 30 — Blueflsh still 

 very plenty, and excellent catches made past week. Among 

 the amateurs enjoying the sport, F. A. Palmer and C. I. 

 Bonnel, Newark, N. J., with a catch of 112 in two days ; 

 Daniel Shemm, H. S. Chauncy, M. E, Parker, 100 in two 

 hours' fishing ; Col. Edwin Post, N. Y., 70 sea bass in two 

 hours to day. Some 40 sail out, and their catches in blue- 

 fish run from 30 to 96, as far as heard from. A few profes- 

 sional fishermen out, but report no biting. B. 



Pennsylvania — Poitstown, June 3. — Fishing for bass in 

 the watersof the Schuylkill River became lawful June 1, and 

 many anglers lined the* banks of the stream all day on Mon- 

 day. Some were very successful. The season is very prom- 

 ising, as we had no high freshets to destroy the spawning. 

 The water is in splendid condition for cat-fishing now, and 

 quite a number have been captured. J. W. E. 



A Potomao Bass. — At Point of Rocks, Md., one day last 

 week Mr. Thomas D. Bond caught what is said to be tbe 

 largest bass ever taken out of the Potomac. It measured 22J 

 inches from tip to tip, weighing 5f pounds. Acasthasbeen 

 made of it at the Smithsouian. 



Florida — Titutville, Brevard County. May 17. — Fishing is 

 very good here now in Indian River. Bass of thirty pounds 

 are common. A young lady caught three off the wharf 

 here in half an hour. Mr. Price caught one weighing 571b8. 

 I caught one when in a small schooner's yawl-haat, and he 

 pulled so hard that he swung the boat around the anchor. 

 He weighed 281bs. Bait with pieces of mullet on a line 

 about 100ft. long, thrown out to its full length in water 

 about 4 or 5ft. deep. These are the sea bass or red baas, 

 called red fish in the Gulf of Mexico {Sciomops ocellatus, of 

 Linn, and Gill). The scales are very large andjstrong, and 

 are made into beautiful imitations of flowers and grasses in 

 a very ingenious manner by the ladies in this locality. It is 

 necessary to scale- the fish with a hatchet. Salmon trout, or 

 spotted sea trout, are very numerous also here at this sea- 

 son, and bite to mullet bait readily. ThiB is the spotted sil- 

 ver-sides of Scott (Cynoseian carolineniis—C\x\. tt Val., 

 Gill). Mr- G. W. Schuyler, the proprietor of the famous 

 QrOve, shot n" sawfish (Priilis antiquarum Linn., 

 Lath.) in Dummilt's Creek that measured l4ift. in length, 

 about a week ago. Dangerous fellows in a close encounter. 

 Shecpshead (Archasargus probatQcephalUs — Wall, Gill) are 

 very numerous just now also. Dummilt's Creek is full of 

 them. On the marshes opposite Titusville, May 15, found 

 black duck's {Anun olmura) brood a few days old. Shot 

 some marbled god wits, b: ant bird or badger bird (Limosa 

 ftd'j"), and black-necked stilt, or lawyer, humility (£ ! 



■■■!)p-icoHis), with large eggs nearly ready lo lay. Also 

 shot a male little black-head, or little blue-bill raft duck 

 (Futix ajfinia) out of a flock of half a dozen. The coots 

 - •.ierkana') have all gone north some time ago. 



Ax. r, Gatoe. 



Omo— Wumeon, May 29. — Went fishing to Ligouier River, 

 27th. Expenses: Railroad fare, §4; minnows, 50.; hotel, |4:, 

 catch, nothing. However, there is no doubt that the fishing 

 for baas is good in the b-kes near that place, if you find the 

 right one. It is needless to remark that I failed to find the 

 right one. They have a strict law on spearing out there, yet 

 every fellow owns a spear. What for ? H. 



Rubbbb Fishing Rods. — Fi.ihkiU-on-lheJIud.y>n, June. 

 2. — Editor Forest and !}trg(m : My father, who is in the rub- 

 ber business, made a rod of hard rubber four or five years ago. 

 The elasticity, lightness and strength are all good points in 

 hard rubber, but there is no limit to its warping and twisting. 

 A rod of this kind used three hours in the sun would resemble 

 a cork-screw on a large scale. I have a tip about tbe house 

 now made of rubber, and the runners which were once in per- 

 fect line are now on all sides of it. Instruments of music, 

 such as flutes, clarionets, etc., have been made from rubber, 

 but the warping effectually prevented them becoming a suc- 

 cess, A.
