Tarpdm Scales.— Our correspondent "Bexar" sends from 

 Corpus Christi, Texas, two scales of a Tarpum captured by 

 him on the 25th of June, at that place. The fish measured 

 5ft. 6in. in length, and weighed 81 lbs., and from all accounts 

 afforded as much sport on a line as any game fish known. 

 The writer says: "A more lively fish neTer got fastened 

 on a line. At least half a dozen times he let six feet of 

 daylight shine between him and the water, and he hod his 

 mouth open, shaking it like a trout all the time. It was 

 glorious sport and lasted nearly an hour." The tarpum is 

 seldom taken with a hook, but freejuently with a harpuon. 

 It is locally known as " Grand ticaiUe" (pronounced akaiye) 

 signifying large scales. In Louisiana it is called the silver 

 fish, and in the Carolinas, the tarpum. Its scientific name is 

 Megalops atlanticus. These scales are a marvel. They are 

 translucent and horny, and constitute an almost im- 

 penetrable armor plate where they lap over each other. That" 

 portion of each scale which is exposed resembles chased 

 silver, and when wet is as brilliant 33 can be imagined. 

 We have specimens which we obtained at Savannah twenty 

 years ago, and they do not seem to have lost their brilliancy 

 in the least degree. Those just now sent us from Texas 

 measure 3x3i inches in diameter and the silvered part of 

 each is one-fifth of the whole. Our friends in the South At- 

 lantic Seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico may be able to con- 

 tribute much information concerning their food, habits, 

 spawning seasons, migrations, etc. 



Tiie Dixgee ScBiBNBS lloiH. — Dingee Scribtier is the 

 best known rod maker in the Canadian Provinces. He is es. 

 pecially known to anglers who visit the maritime Provinces 

 in quest of salmon. Twenty years ago we used his greenheart 

 rods and his attractive artificial flies, and have always recom- 

 mended them to visitors to those "parts." But Mr. Scribrupr's 

 tide of fortune has not always been at the flood. Not a long 

 time ago a fire destroyed the city of St. John, where he is lo- 

 cated, and he shared the common fate of nearly all the mer- 

 chants and arlizans. It has been customary to liken any per- 

 son who has recuperated after being burned out to a " phcenix 

 rising from his ashes.;" but Mr. Seribner is not that kind of a 

 bird. He is merely an unfortunate fisherman who is trying to 

 retrieve his looses ; and we therefore take an especial pleasure 

 in recommending American anglers who visit New Bruns- 

 wick in quest of salmon, land-locked salmon and tTOut, to his 

 good offices. His artificial flies for land-locked salmon are a 

 specialty. Mr. Seribner has been a frequent advertiser in 

 these columns, and while not aiming to divert patronage from 

 American rod makers, claims oo can 



make it convenient to fit out in St. John for Provincial waters. 

 Address him at Waterloo street, St. John, New Brunswick, 



^Shaebot Lake Pishing — Kingston, Ont,, June 30.— The 

 fishing season is fairly opened and promises excellent sport for 

 lovers of the rod. On the 20th lust., a party of five, con- 

 sisting of W. O, J. (J., J. R., J. B., and your bum] 

 pondtfnt— all worshipers at the sluine of the immortal I. W. 

 —gathered up our tackle and camping outfit. Jump 

 the 3 i j . m. Kingston ami 



being the famed Sharbot Lake, distant from Kingston about 

 forty-five miles ; fare, $1.40. No 

 or camping equipments. Arrived I 

 tion 6:30. Got our camp goods and tackle in the 

 struck for the south end of the lake, where we went into 

 camp. For five days we had royal sport with the black bass. 

 The lako is protected by specs al act of Parliament from all 

 descriptions of nets and snares, and the fishing in conse- 

 quence is really superb. Nowhere in my fishing experience 

 have I seen the bass so game, large and plentiful, 

 ingwas done exclusi fly, except an oci 



troll for pike, which are abundant and of immense size, be- 

 ingfrequently taken weighing lolbs., and even more. Nearly 

 every color of fly proved good, but the most effective was 

 one with orange body and dirk turkey win 

 entirely of peacock'iS feathe " l)riE S the eye of 



the feather directly over the body of Die hook. Bass are 

 taken nearly every day weighing as much as Gibs, The 

 writer struck and landed two at one cast which weighed to- 

 gether a trifle over Olhs. The proprietor of the hotel, Mr. 

 Ferrin, keeps a book, in which is recorded the catch of his
