In the article " Excessive Catches," 

 which appeared in August Recreation, 

 you ask what department of the animal 

 kingdom Messrs. Wadleigh and Wheaton 

 (who caught 412 trout in 3 days) belong to. 

 I should say they belong to that class of 

 animals who root for their living. What 

 a shame to allow such creatures at large! 

 They are not sportsmen, and no man who 

 is a thorough sportsman would do such a 

 thing. To call them swine is expressing it 

 mildly. Bristol Rod, Chester, Pa. 



I have just returned from a 3 days' trip to 

 Kelley's Island, for black bass. We had 

 fall weather of the bad sort, and were un- 

 able to fish much, but on one day we suc- 

 ceeded in landing 36 as fine bass as one 

 would wish to see, ranging from 1 to 4 

 pounds. This catch was made by my part- 

 ner and me. The same day 3 boats got 60. 



We stopped with Mr. H. F. Catanach, 

 and he left nothing for us to desire in the 

 way of good treatment. I would advise any 

 one wishing to try our fishing to write him 

 for particulars.

The Comptroller of N. W. M. Police, the Hon. 

 Fred White,writes from Ottaiva: " Those who have 

 tested the Acme strongly reco?nmejid it. We have 

 adopted the Acme for our requirements."

 safely ran the rapids of the Yukon and are now used
