FOREST AND STREAM.

ally a peculiar disease attacks the fish, killing thousands in a 

 brief time, ami it is then that the greatest ingenuity is re- 

 quired to preserve any part of the stock. Eels, perch and 

 pickerel are deadly enemies of the trout. 



Perhaps the greatest private trout preserve in this country 

 is ou Long Island. It is owned by the South Side Sports- 

 men's Club, and is located at Oakdale. The club is composed 

 of wealthy New York gentlemen, and the property is valued 

 at $250,000. When the late Recorder Ilackett was president 

 ot the club he was the champion fly-thrower, and it was his 

 boast that he never ate a rish (at the club) which he did not 

 hook, and he could stow away five pounds of trout at a meal 

 and not. feel distressed. The pond in which the full-grown 

 fish are kept covers several hundred acres, and the breeding 

 houses are maintained on a large and scientific scale. George 

 Lorillard has a great estate and and an excellent and well 

 stocked trout stream adjoining the club, and southward near 

 the Great South Bayislhe magnificent estate of Mr. William 

 K. YauderbiU, whose trout excel in flavor by reason of the 

 stream being rendered brackish by the overflow of salt water 

 from the bay. Mr. Lorillard is very ill iu Florida, and his 



property, which has cost him $250,000, is for sale at the 

 modest" sum of $200,000. Mr. Vanderbitt's place has cost 

 him $300,000. He owns twenty thousand acres of land. 



Babylon is famous for its great ponds. The notable ones 

 are owned by Mr. August Belmont, Mr Austin Corbin, Mr. 

 Phelps and Mr. Sutton. Mr. Belmont has been unfortunate. 

 The poachers have, troubled him a great deal, and stolen 

 thousauds of his fish. Sometimes if a pond is small, they 

 drag a net through it. Into a large pond they throw lime, 

 which causes the fish to show the white of their stomach and 

 lay motionless. They are tenderly but quickly picked up 

 and the fresh water, carried in barrels for the purpose, soon 

 revives them. A moment's delay sometimes kills them, as 

 they are the most delicate of water game. On one occasion 

 it became necessary to clean Mr. Belmont's pond. The men 

 carelessly uncovered the fish and hundreds of them were 

 killed by the heat of the July sun. Trout can endure cold, 

 but not the heat. The fishing in this pond is now unsur- 

 passed. Mr. Corbin, too, has had his share of trouble with 

 poachers. He went in for prosecuting them at large expense 

 of money and time, but got no satisfaction, as the jury ac- 



quitted the prisoners on the ground, as was 1 bought, that no 

 man had any right to monopolize the products of the water. 

 That was during the time when the common streams were 

 rapidly falling under private control, and public sentiment 

 was strongly opposed to it. There are some great trout in 

 Massapequa Pond at South Oyster Bay and in the streams 

 northward which feed it. In one stream running under the 

 Montauk Railroad people familiar with the fact never lose an 

 opportunity to catch a passing glance of the frightened fish 

 that abound there and shoot out in small schools as the trains 

 pass over. The brook is half a mile long and the fish find 

 natural food in it upon which they thrive better than those 

 artificially bred. Thompson's Pond at Novae was once a 

 famous stream, but at present is somewhat inferior through 

 damages by freshets and the unneighborly conduct of some 

 of the residents. It is a picturesque place where the city 

 folk go to enjoy a trout dinner instead of to fish. New 

 Canaan, a wild region north of Patchogue, is the home of many 

 professional breeders who, in very small space, raise such an 

 incredible quantity of fish as to place them in the category 

 of poachers. — Brooklyn Eagle.
