 trout a number of times and would see about leu" men to one 

 trout, and thar trout, perhaps, from two to four inches long. 

 The (rout fishing here is far superior to any place on the 

 Beaverkill or Neveraink, and we have line bass fishing here 

 all summer, while they have none. We have also good 

 hotels, good liveries, and all af moderate prices. We are on 

 the line of the ST. T.. L. E. & W. E, K., and there are. per- 

 haps, three limes as many trains each day as on the IS". Y., 

 O. & W., or on Beaverkill. Our country is much the rough- 

 est, with higher hills and better roads." Why is it?— E. '"M".

First Fish. — Tlie first salmon of the season arrived at 

 Blackford's from Nova Scotia Qa.ttie I5il> and sold at two 

 dollars per pound. On the 17th a shad weighing five and a 

 half pounds was lakeii at Weehawken, opposite the upper 

 part of New York, on the Hudson, and sold for five dollars, 

 Although a shad was taken on the first of the month, it is re- 

 garded as a stray one, and the fish which came on Patrick's 

 Day is looked on as (he first of the regular school.

 • is to bear the report of 

 its chairman, the Duke 

 lutions. The aim of the 

 f knowledge and experi- 

 llfacture and appliance, 

 gathered from the four 



. zette, has an art: 

 he says: 



The Prince of Wales presides to-da 

 meeting held at Willis 1 Rooms, in fur 

 ternational Fisheries Exhibition whir 

 next year. The ob.iect of the iee1 ni 

 the committee, which will be read tjj 

 of Rich m ond, and to pass certain res 

 exhibition is to illustrate every item < 

 ence, of practice and theory, of mar 

 connected with fisheries, that can be 

 quarters of the globe. 



Of the value of special exhibitions of this kind there can be 

 no two opinions, and it may be interesting to glance at what 

 has already been done in' this direction. In 1SS0 an inter- 

 national fisheries exhibition was held at Berlin, under the 

 presidency of the Crown Prince and the patronage of the 

 G-errnan Court and aristocracy. It proved a success far 

 beyond the expectations of its promoters, the visitors during 

 the. few weeks it was open numbering over 800,000. It paid 

 all expenses connected with it, and the Government guarantee 

 fund was untouched, and this, too, notwithstanding heavy ex- 

 penses connected with the building and its annexes and niost 

 liberal disbursements. Referring to it. Mr. Spencer Walpole, 

 her Majesty's Senior Inspector of Fisheries, in his report on 

 the Berlin Exhibition, savs: "A staff of competent and oblig- 

 ing officials was Specially detailed to accompany the American 

 collection to Berlin, to arrange the articles for exhibition, and 

 to answer- any inquiries respecting them. The private exhib- 

 itors from the .States naturally availed themselves of this ad- 

 mirable organization for the purpose c 

 objects, and the whole, collection of tl 

 acquired a symmetry and a completi 

 any other country. Every importai 

 States is exhibited in a colored east o 

 model of every important fishing vest 

 Every method of fishculture in use, e 

 portanee, has its model at the exkibi 

 and rarest articles in use by ordinary fl: 

 at Berlin, and the visitor who chooses to d 

 matter, and to avail himself of the courteous 

 United States staff, can obtain a conrprehe 

 that is going on in America, " This is high pi 

 from the. head of the English Fisheries Der.

 United States thus 

 less not attained by 

 ; fish in the United 

 some other way. A 

 tl and boat is shown, 

 sry fish-ladder of ini- 

 ori. The commonest 

 leianen may be found 

 to devote, time to the 

 eons assistance of the 

 irehensive idea of all 

 lise, and coming 

 rtnient gives it 



more value, and also gives more force to his contrast of the 

 position of England. It is to be hoped the United States will 

 favor us even more generously than they did the Germans. 

 and then perhaps one of the results of the 1883 exhibition will 

 be the extension of that State aid to our fisheries which Mr. 

 Walpole so earnestly, though indirectly, appeals for in the 

 same report. 



It would be impossible to mention a tithe of the benefits to 

 the fisheries interest which resulted from the Berlin Exhibition 

 those who desire to get some idea of the scope of that enter- 

 prise should examine the most valuable and voluminous official 

 German reports which have been published at Berlin in the 

 shape of monographs by the highest authorities on the several 

 branches of iisiiculiurc and fisheries. One of the great results 

 of that Exhibition is the. fact that it undoubtedly gave rise to 

 the National Fisheries Exhibition held at Norwich last year, 

 which in its turn has led up to the International Fisheries Ex- 

 hibition which is to open in April at Edinburgh, and to the 

 Great International Exhibition which opens in London next 

 year. 



It may be useful to look for a m 

 good may be expected to come as a 

 International Fisheries Exhibition.

 nd is "thus known on' the Continent as the mailish. As 

 fish the Americans claim that their shad is even superior to 

 salmon. Marvelous results have attended Professor Baird's 

 experiments in the propagation of this fine h>h. In some of 

 the rivers restocked by him with fry as many as several thous- 

 ands of mature shad have been captured at one haul: and this, 

 too, in livers where the shad fishery had previously been 

 almost abandoned. Carp, which the Americans imported a 

 few years ago from German;-, are now naturalized all over 

 the country, and thrive so well that Germans are. actually 

 getting back American-bred carp to improve then- own stock. 

 Such results as these in fishculture speak for themselves. In 

 England we have been content with simply protecting our 

 rivers somewhat more efficiently, but even this inadequate 

 assistance has been very beneficial. When the English Salmon
