FOREST AND STREAM.

Sea Trout.— Fredericton, N. B,, May 22.— The sea 

 trout have made their appearance at the head of the tide 

 in the Southwest Miramichi. Five weighing 51bs. each 

 were caught May 19 'in a gaspereaux net, which fish are 

 just now making their appearance in that river. Gas- 

 pereaux have been much more plenty than usual in the 

 St. John River this season. Some very large hauls of 

 shad also have lately been made in the harbor of St. 

 John. The river is very high at present and likely to 

 continue so for some time; so that a larger number of 

 shad and salmon than ordinary will escape the nets at 

 the mouth of the river and reach their spawing ground 

 in safety.— Edward Jack. . 



Salmon Caught in a Trawl. — A boat fisherman of 

 Gloucester, Mass., tooka 7lb. salmon on a trawl-line May 

 28. This is said to be the first occurrence of the kind in 

 the Gloucester fishery. The trawl-line is similar to the 

 out-line or trot- line sometimes used in river fishing. We 

 have seen bluefish captured in the same way in Fisher's 

 Island Sound, the bait probably having been "taken while 

 the line was going down or coming up. A more remark- 

 able thing is the frequent capture of swordfish on bottom 

 trawl-lines and even on handlines of the George's Bank 

 codfishermen. 



Colorado Fish Law Warning.— Denver, Col.. May 

 26.— Editor Forest and Stream: I inclose herewith a copy 

 of warning which the Colorado Sportsmen's Association 

 will post. Should any secretaries of gun and fish clubs 

 in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah or New Mexico desire a 

 supply, they can have same by addressing me. — C. M. 

 Hampson, Pres. R. M. S. A. 



New Names of the Beshowe.— In the "Annual Report 

 of the Canadian Department of Fisheries" for 1889, re- 

 cently issued, we find the beshowe (Anoplopoma fimbria) 

 referred to as the blackerel — a trade name for the fish in a 

 salted state. Skil is another name used for the species, 

 and the term black cod has been misapplied by associa- 

 tion with the same fish. 



Quebec Streams.— Quebec, Canada, May 27.— All the 

 rivers and lakes are overflowing their banks and fly-fish- 

 ing is out of question for some time. The same has been 

 the case all over this district. River fishing (it is claimed 

 and I believe) will be better than usual this summer, the 

 fish being washed down from the lakes by the tremendous 

 overflow.— G. Van F. 



Mackerel prom a Shark's Stomach. — The schooner 

 Lorna Doone arrived at Provincetown, Mass., from 

 Georges, May 28, killed an 18ft. shark on the cod-fishing 

 grounds and found a 17in. mackerel in its stomach in 

 good order. — Gloucester {Mass.) Daily Times, May 28. 



Seining Brook Trout.— In Taunton River, Mass., a 

 number of brook trout were caught with herring in the 

 early part of May. ■ 



Omaha, Neb., May 26. — Some big catches of pickerel 

 are being made daily at Horneycreek and Horseshoe.— 

 Sandy. 



Of Value to Sportsmen.— Every lover of rod aud gun should 

 secure a copy of a book just issued by the General Passenger De- 

 partment of the Canadian Pacific Railway and entitled "Fishing 

 and Shooting." In it all the best fisbiig waters and localities for 

 hi? and small game m Canada are fully described, the best route 

 to each pointed out, and a vast amount of valuable information 

 presented in most interesting snape. The descriptive matter 

 covers a broad and varied held, touching upon every noted sport- 

 ing locality in Canada between the Atlantic and the Pacific 

 oceans, and also refers to the States of Maine, Michigan and Wis- 

 consin. It is bound in convenient pocket form and is handsomely 

 illustrated. Other useful books are "The New Highway to the 

 Orient" aud '"Summer Tours," issued for the benefit of travelers 

 in general. Copies of any or all of these may be obtained free 

 upon application to any agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway, 

 or to E. V. Skinner, 353 Broadway, New York; C. E. MrPherson, 

 311 Washington street, Boston; J. E. Lee, 232 Sonth Clark street, 

 Chicago; C. Sheehy, 11 Fort street, West, Detroit, Mich.*, or to D. 

 McNicolI, General Passenger Agent, Montreal, Que., Canada. *** 



NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES COMMISSION. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



It may perhaps interest you to know that I caught a squid 

 a few days ago, and another one was taken in March. These 

 were of "small size— smaller than the general run of those 

 that come into the bays of Newfoundland in the month of 

 August. I believe that some squid winter in the bays in 

 deep water. Capeliu do so I am sure, because what the fish- 

 ermen catch here in early spring and call whitefish is noth- 

 ing but the capelin. We find the same thing on the northern 

 coast of Norway. We are about to begin hatching cod, and. 

 are collecting fish at present; but the season is late and 

 backward, so that not many fish are caught yet, the water 

 being too cold. At 20 fathoms depth to-day I found it 37 

 degrees. The Commission intends to go into hatching lob- 

 sters in great numbers this year. I expect to hatch about 

 120,000,000. The hatching of lobsters on a large scale is 

 practicable, and I have not the slightest doubt that the 

 young will get along remarkably well if planted in suitable 

 places. Such I hold to be sheltered localities with rich 

 vegetation on the bottom, I consider places wbere there is 

 plenty of goose grass best of all. The lobsters feed on in- 

 sects "on these plants, and have plenty of biding places. If 

 one wishes to find a large number of small lobsters, up to 

 one-hale inch and one inch long, he will always find them 

 among the goose grass in the summer; therefore I consider 

 such place to be their home in early life. Mr. Jansen went 

 home to Finland last fall, and will not be back here again. 



Adolph Nielsen, Supt. of Fisheries.

THE TORONTO DOG SHOW.— Toronto, Out., June 2 — 

 Editor Forest and Stream: The second international dog 

 show, to be held here Sept. 15 to 19 in connection with the 

 Industrial Exposition Association, will in all probability be 

 the finest exhibition ever held in the Dominion. The pre- 

 mium list will be out in a few days. It is a very liberal one 

 with some §2,000 in cash, medals and plate, besides a num- 

 ber of valuable specials. Friend Stone, the genial and pop- 

 ular secretary of the Canadian Kennel Club, has been ap- 

 pointed secretary and superintendent, and nothing will be 

 eft undone that can add to the pleasure and comfort of the 

 exhibitors. The judges appointed are Mr. John Davidson 

 for all setters, pointers, foxhounds and beagles; Mr. E. M. 

 Oldham spaniels and Mr. C. H. Mason the remaining classes. 

 In selecting the judges the committee again had in view the 

 first two qualities necessary to satisfactory judging-, viz., 

 competence and integrity, and it is hardly necessary to 

 assure exhibitors that none of the serious blunders that 

 have been committed during the past season will be repeated 

 here. Mr. Davidson is very popular with the dog men here, 

 and is sure of a hearty support. Mr. Oldham, I believe^ has 

 never judged, but his large experience during the past four 

 or five years with high-class dogs should well qualify him 

 for the position. Mr. Mason is the best judge we have ever 

 had in Canada, aud be is undoubtedly the best all-round 

 judge in America. L T p here we want the best dogs— not the 

 jest men— to the front, and we feel assured that with these 

 judges the ri«:ht end of the chain will get the ribbon every 

 time.— Ontario. 



THE PACIFIC COAST SPANIEL CLUB. — The spaniel 

 fanciers of California have formed a club under the name 

 of the Pacific Coast Spaniel Club. The association will 

 publish a monthly paper, The Spaniel Fancier, which will 

 be edited by Mr. H. P. Rennie, with Dr. A. C. Davenport 

 associate editor. Following is a list of the officers of the 

 club, just elected: President, Dr. A. C. Davenport, Stock- 

 ton; Vice-President, Mr. John Kerlin, Oakland; Secretary 

 and Treasurer, Mr. H. P. Rennie, Oakland; Executive Com- 

 mittee, Dr. A. C. Davenport, Messrs. H. P. Rennie. Jos. B. 

 McVay, G. W. Rennie, and F. W. Howlett. 



OMAHA DOG SHOW.— Omaha, Neb., May 30.— The an- 

 ual bench show will be held here during the second week 

 of June, from the 10th to the 14th inclusive. The manage- 

 ment states that the exhibition— and that is what the show 

 really is— will surpass anything of the kind ever offered in 

 Omaha before. There will be a much larger list of entries 

 and many additional fine dogs from adjoining States. The 

 business men have been exceedingly generous in donating 

 prizes, and are lending much aid to the affair in innumer- 

 able ways.— Sandy.
