and every fish taken out. of season (so often full of ripespawn) 

 is lessening the future supply by thousands. 



Again, we must not lose sight of the salt-water fishing 

 although the net fishermen would have us believe, and in 

 fact try to prove by wonderful statistics, that their methods 

 do not destroy or lessen the supply of food fish. We all know 

 by sad experience that fish can ho longer be caught where 

 once they were plentiful, and all along our coasts the same 

 cry is heard. I have taken pains to inquire wherever I have 

 been, from the Carolinas to New Foundland, and the same 

 cry comes to me, "We must go farther and work harder." 



"The end is not yet," but. will soon come unless some 

 measures are taken very soon to stop the despoil ers. It is our 

 privilege, and I may say duty, to aid in this grand work. 

 Our Association has already made a name for itself, and we 

 wield a power for good second to no other similar organization. 



The work is unselfish, beneficent, glorious. Let us go on 

 with renewed vigor, and our children and children's children 

 will bless the memory of every member of the Pennsylvania 

 Fish Protective Association. 



Measures were adopted to give wide distribution to anotice 

 containing information that blank applications for brook 

 trout, bass and other fish could be procured upon application 

 to the Association. 



The destructive methods of the menhaden interests were 

 again discussed. Preliminary action was taken for the crea- 

 tion of a Board of Trustees to take charge of the permanent 

 fund of the Association. M. Gf. Sellers, Sec'y. 



jLook out for the Carr when the Bell Rings. 



* Syracuse, N. Y, Feb. 17.— Editor Forest and Strcam : 

 Onondaga Lake, in portion within the limits of the city 

 of Syracuse, is about six miles in length, and three quarter 

 mile in width, and is reached by electric cars witbin twenty 

 minutes, and contains bass, pike, pickerel, perch and other 

 fish. Prior to the enactment of the present game laws, the 

 use of nets in this lake had despoiled it of nearly all desirable 

 fish. From the absolute necessity of protecting this lake 

 and other waters, came the organization of the 'Anglers' 

 Association of Onondaga," that since 1890 has by its own 

 paid detective, with occasional assistance from the State, so 

 materially guarded this lake that I can send you as a fact, 

 the catch last Thursday of three pickerel through the ice in 

 this lake weighing respectively 13%, 11% and 7%lbs., also 

 nearly a bushel of perch from >^lb. to l%lbs. They were all 

 taken with hook and line, and I am pleased to say the largest 

 pickerel was caught by a member of the Anglers' Associa- 

 tion. Now, you who read this can have plenty of fish in 

 waters near you if you will protect them; you should do this 

 for your friends and the public as well as yourself ; and can 

 do so if you will; and you must if you want fish. 



Netters care nothing for you nor the public. They want 

 fish for what they will bring in market, and they want them 

 all just as soon as they can get them in any way. 



Have a bell hung at the crossing and tell these netters there 

 is a "Carr" coming. Syracuse. 



A Great Satisfaction. 



Rouse's Point, N. Y, Feb. 10.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: Is it not a great satisfaction to be able to clip no"W 

 and then from the local papers an item such as this: "Game 

 Protector Charles Barber made a trip along Lake Ghamplain 

 last week and confiscated 31 nets between Whitehall and 

 Addison Junction, and released over six tons of fish. Siuce 

 Oct. 1 be has destroyed over 50 nets in the lake, the value of 

 which is nearly $400." W,

THE PUBLISHER'S DESK. 



The H. H. Kiffe Company moved on Feb. 1, from 473 Broadway to 

 523 Broadway, New York. 



The loss to the Colt Company is between $80,000 and $90,000, which 

 is almost wholly covered by insurance. The fire will cause but little 

 delay in the company's business. 



The Bridgeport Gun Implement Company has issued a neat little 

 1894 price list of bicycle sundries, which may be had for the asking. 

 It includes descriptions of the new Bridgeport cyclometer, as well as 

 tools, oilers, whistles, etc., manufactured by the company. 



Montgomery Ward & Co., of Chicago, have an enormous mail bus- 

 iness and are undoubtedly the largest patrons of the post office depart- 

 ment in the United States. During the year 1893 they received letters, 

 postals, newspapers, etc., to the amount of 1,417,318 pieces. The 

 largest single day's receipt was 13,208, and the smallest 3,540. The 

 firm mailed during the year over 4,425,000 pieces of mail, on which the 

 postage alone exceeded $300,000. Jn addition to this 421,300 packages 

 were shipped by express, and 388,861 by freight. 



Paul North, of the Cleveland Target Company, reports business in 

 his line good. He is selling more traps than ever before. He credits 

 the condition of affairs directly to the general dullness of business. 

 Most men have more time to gratify their trap shooting inclinations, 

 and if on salary, their money has a larger purchasing power than ever 

 before. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good. 



Increased Train Service to Atlantic City. 



The Pennsylvania Railroad Company announces that, beginning 

 Saturday, Feb. 10, an increased train service will be placed in effect to 

 Atlantic City, as follows: 



Express trains will leave foot of Market street, Philadelphia, for

 P. M. and 8:10 P. M. Sundays. There will be no change in accommoda- 

 tion trains. 



Bsginning same date, the through New York and Atlantic City Ex- 

 press will be placed in service, to run substantially on the same 

 schedule as last year, leaving New York, week days, at 1 :50 P. M.,

Mr, E. H. Seehusen showed us last week some very artistic 

 and novel pictures of noted dogs. The dogs are cut— die- 

 sinking fashion— in an oval shaped crystal 1%'m. long and 

 %va.. thick. The coloring is theu put on at the back of the 

 crystal, and the result is a charming picture, for seen 

 through the thick part of the crystal the rounded contour of 

 the dog appears like a bas-relief and very natural, Mr. See- 

 hused showed us crystals in which Sir Bedivere, Duke of 

 Hessen and Beaumont, the Gordon, were beautifully exe- 

 cuted. Their cost, we are afraid, however, will prevent there 

 being any great demand for them among dogmen. 



SOUTHERN FIELD TRIALS. 



The All-Age Stake. 



This stake, was handled quite skillfully, with the excep- 

 tion that the judges kept iu some dogs from series to series 

 which could profitably and justly have been left out. 



This stake was for pointers and setters which had never 

 wou a first in an All-Age Stake at a recognized trial. The 

 prizes were $300 to first, 1200 to second and $150 to third. 

 There was much interest manifested throughout, and a fine 

 class of dogs competed. 



Count Gladstone is now a well known winner. He ran a 

 well-sustained race, the best he has shown in competition, 

 although it. still requires a good deal of noise to handle him. 



Gleam's Pink made a very close competition for first. He, 

 too, ran a strong race. 



Lillian Russell in the last heat did not work up to her best 

 form and Miss Ruby, too, fell off from her best capabilities. 



Maj. M urn an lives at Reeling, Tenn., instead of Huling. 

 The following sportsmen were also present, in addition to 

 those named last week: Messrs. Scale, Rogers, King aud 

 Person, of .Jackson, Tenn; Mr. Whyte Bedford, Horn Lake,

WEDNESDAY. 



The All-Age Stake was begun at the conclusion of the 

 Derby. The rain fell still harder after the competition 

 began, settling into a steady downpour. Mr. W. B. Wells 

 took Capt. R. P. McCargo's place in the judging, otherwise 

 the judiciary remained the same. Capt. McCargo retired on 

 account of his brother handling in the stake. 



Lillian Russell ano De Soto began at 3;55. The heat 

 was all in Lillian's favor. De Soto flushed a bevy and 

 appeared to be a little glad of it. Lill found a bevy and ran 

 up a long score of single bird points which she executed 

 quickly and with precision. Each also got a point on the 

 same bevy, and De Soto got a couple of single bird points 

 and some errors. The heat was far away in favor of Lillian. 



The rain was so severe that no further competition was 

 attempted. 



THURSDAY. 



The weather was mild and cloudy with a rainstorm 

 threatening. Near the conclusion of the first heat the rain 

 set in, starting gradually, but increasing steadily. It at last 

 became so violent that work for the day was stopped and 

 the party returned to town in all degrees of wetness, gener- 

 ally more wet. 



ANTEVOLO AND Kent Elgin began at 9:23, at Mr. Bias's 

 place. There was a misunderstanding or something of the 

 sort as to where the start was to be made, Mr. Brumby going 

 to one place and the other judges to another, about three- 

 quarters of a mile apart. This occasioned a vexatious delay 

 and was the cause of some unpleasantness. The heat was 

 begun with the two judges in charge of it, and was run more 

 than half out before the judges were again together. Ex- 

 planations all around and disclaimers of responsibility seem- 

 ingly made matters all right again, for it was plain that no 

 ,one was responsible for the mistake. However, there seemed 

 to be an understanding that the judges would act together 

 thereafter. The heat was all one-sided in Antevolo's favor. 

 She first pointed a bevy and Kent drew in, flushed an-out- 

 lying single and the bevy then flushed. Next Antevolo 

 pointed a bevy and Kent backed. Antevolo made a flimsy 

 pretext at retrieving and Kent false pointed twice, pointed a 

 single and retrieved. Antevolo pointed another single and a 

 bevy. About 10 o'clock Kent bolted and was not caught 

 again till near night, when he was seen roaming the fields 

 and was taken in charge. 



Lady Margaret and Chevalier began at 10A3, and had 

 run but two minutes when the rain fell so heavily that the 

 dogs were ordered up aud a run made for shelter. After 

 lunch the clouds broke away so that there were a few rifts and 

 the rain ceased. The brace was again started and had run 

 four minutes when they were again ordered up. The rain 

 had begun as soon as the dogs started. Before the party 

 could reach shelter the storm began in earnest and a high 

 wind set in. Horses and men all took shelter under a cotton 

 gin. The storm increased in violeuce and it rained furiously 

 nearly an hour. The bottom of the cotton gin was open on 

 all sides, and the force of the wind carried a spray clear 

 through from side to side part of the time, yet it was a most 

 welcome shelter. When the storm had partly ceased all re- 

 turned to town, with the consolation that the day might 

 have been worse. 



FRIDAY. 



The weather was clear and cool in the morning, gradually 

 getting warmer. After the morning hours the temperature 

 was comfortably warm. Birds were plentiful. A mild, stiff 

 breeze blew all day. The judges managed the competition 

 much better in every respect, both iu respect to picking out 

 a route and following it, and in the competition itself. 



Chevalier and Lady Margaret were started at 7:43. 

 Chevalier was the wider and faster ranger, though his point 

 work was faulty in that he required a good deal of coaching. 

 He, however, made a good point on a bevy, after having 

 pointed some outlying birds of a bevy, which Lady flushed. 

 Lady made two points on singles and a flush. Up at 8:11. 



Tremont and Bombey started at 8:18. The heat was 

 mixed good and poor, and was, too, a very noisy one. Bom- 

 bey was the better ranger, while Tremont had greater suc- 

 cess in finding. He was heavy in stride and a moderate 

 ranger, rather plodding in his manner. Neither one did
