New Jersey Coast Fishing. 
Asbury Park, N. J.. July 23.— Not within many years 
has coast fishing been better than at prcsemVand indica- 
tions are of the best for- the continuance of the same, our 
rivers and bays are fairly teeming with fish life, attracted 
'thither by the enormous quantities of bait and bait fish. 
There is almost a surfeit of weakfish in Barnegat, 400 to 
500 to a boat in a single day is a common report, and of 
large size and well conditioned fish. One night re- 
cently I was astounded at the condition of affairs there. 
Schools of menhaden many acres in extent were in evi- 
dence everywhere, and the continual threshing of the 
weakfish at the surface as they dashed among them 
made music to the enthusiastic ear. 
While the striped bass are apparently lessening in 
number, still enough are being taken to keep the pursuit 
up. Kingfish, which had almost entirely stopped biting 
two weeks ago, are back at the old stand, and are taking 
the hook freely again. Some splendid catches have been 
made the past week, and finer specimens . I never met 
with. Bluefish are very abundant off shore, and are. be- 
ginning to make their presence known in the surf, which 
is a great delight to all, as their place in the affections of 
the angler is second only to the bass. Their bulldog 
propensities are well brought out in a contest with rod 
and reel, and they are always an object of eager pur- 
suit. I am still nursing a crippled thumb, received more 
than ten days ago in a battle with a savage blue, but he 
made a very fine dinner.

Long Island Fishing. 
Lake Champlain Fishing. 
Essex. N. Y., July 16. — The oerch have begun to 
school and are on the surface. Fishing with a submerged 
fly is in order and will afford good returns. 
The other evening I took two ladies out in a boat and 
they caught fifteen perch and one wall-eyed pike, the lat- 
ter almost i8in. in length. The fishing occupied one 
hour and a half. . ' • .' - . 
A" man fishing near Salmon Rock recently caught' a 
landlocked salmon' 4m. long. He said that he - saw a 
number in the water, and at the same time a very large 
pike. The pike, in his opinion, was feeding on the young 
salmon. " J- B. B.

A Chase to a Finish. 
Tbk scene of this story is about thrct'miIes;'frbW j ;Troy, 
N. H. One morning a farmer friend of mhie on 
looking down toward his wood lot saw a large' red fox 
half climb, half tumble, over a wall and' come very 
slowly toward him for five or six rods and lie down. 
The fox had hardly stopped when a hound poked his 
nose over the wall and crawled up to the fox and tried 
to bite him; but every time the dog was near enough to 
bite the fox would crawl along a rod or : so. They 
worked this way until they got to "the next wall, over 
which the fox went, but the hound fell back, completely 
done for. The farmer thought it about time to help out 
his dog, so getting a cane he walked over to the fox 
and gave it a rap on the head. Picking up the fox, he 
showed it to the hound and tried to call him to the 
house, but the poor dog could not get up; so with the 
fox. under one arm and the hound under the other my 
friend went to the house. The dog stayed with him 
until he was thoroughly rested, and then went away, as 
my friend told me, he supposed for good; but on the 
HIS FIRST POINT.

Monday before Thanksgiving Day it returned in an 
unexpected manner. On that day my friend had 'been 
dressing chickens for market, and had. a few hanging 
all nicely picked in the well-house, and all in" sight of 
his dinner table. All at once he saw, a dog come run- 
ning / into the yard, and the next minute it had jumped 
up and ran away with one of his fat chickens. .This was 
done so quickly that he had hardly got out of doors 
whemdog and poultry were both gone. Following the 
way Ire thought the dog had gone, he met two hunters 
in \ tea Hi . ancLon inquiry and finding out they had a 
dog with methv ;he demanded pay — and good pay too, 
he told me, for he was.-pretty mad. "The hunters were 
true blue,'" i ii^"said, "arid telling me to wait, they up the 
road calling their dog, for they said they had a fox- 
hound bitch with them,, and .could not believe that she 
would touch a chicken.^ But^ all the same they came 
back to the team in a few minutes, leading the dog and 
bringing my chicken half eaten up. With their pocket- 
books open and saying they ( were sorry in the same 
breath, I stopped them and said, . 'Boys, that dog is. too 
good'- a^ dog To mind any - -little tricks': like that.' .For 
it wa's" the same bitcli I had : fed and sheltered the winter 
before; and I added: 'Come in and have some dinner.' 
While we were eatijig -they '-.told me- they were from Mas- 
sachusetts; and' their' dog was a fine young bitch two 
years old at the. time and was called Chase's Spot."

The outcome of the Baltic races, held early this 
month, was a victory for Germany which may have im- 
portant effects upon further international racing. The 
competitors in the lb. class, not over seventy sail units 
by the German rule, included three new yachts, the Fife 
boat Senta, the Payne boat Tutty, of fifty-eight and fifty- 
nine sail' units (practically" 65ft. R, L. by the Y. R. A. 
rule), and a new German boat, Kommodore, of fifty-five 
sail units. The Fife and Payne boats are new craft, both 
built in Great Britain this year, while Kommodore, 
owned by a syndicate, of -which Krupp, of gun fame, is 
the headr was -designed by R. Hagen, of the Germania
