(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 339) 
able baskets with moss or ferns, but the 
boys strung them on a cord. The size 
of the catch was determined by the 
length of the string, and it was not 
uncommon to see strings of gudgeons 
three or four feet in length. 
When tired of the sport, or when fish 
enough had been taken, the ladies and 
gentlemen would repair to the parlor of 
the hotel, or sit in the shade of the trees, 
where colored Ganymedes, clothed in 
white aprons, would serve them wifh 
port-wine sangaree and sponge cake, two 
specialties for which the Relay House 
was famous. This locality was a favor- 
ite resort for picnics from Baltimore, 
but while the gudgeon season lasted, 
every day was a gala day. 
So far as I am aware Johnnie and I 
were the first fly-fishers for gudgeons; 
that is, we were probably the only ones 
who attempted to lure them with the 
artificial fly. Early in the spring fol- 
lowing my long siege of fever I deter- 
mined to make the experiment as soon as 
the fish appeared in the neighboring 
streams ; I had not forgotten the instruc- 
tion I had received in fly-tying several 
years before. Accordingly I dressed half 
a dozen on hooks No. 14 , with red wor- 
sted body, white tag, gray shoulder 
hackles and tied on long horse-hair 
snells. As gudgeons are essentially car- 
nivorous I imagined that they might be 
tempted to rise to such a fly in mistake 
for a bit of beef or earthworm, or per- 
haps for some nondescript insect. So, 
about the beginning of May we went 
out to Herring Run, Johnnie and I, to 
try them. The result was even more 
gratifying and successful than we had 
anticipated, for the flies were taken 
greedily, and our baskets were soon filled 
with the silvery beauties. 
J OHNNIE and I were rather musically 
inclined, and whether hereditary or 
acquired, we considered ourselves not 
half bad vocalists and performers on the 
banjo and accordion. Johnnie’s accordion 
was German ; mine was French. The ar- 
rangement of the reeds or notes in the 
scale of each was different. To sound 
the notes C, E or G with the French 
instrument the bellows was pulled out 
while the same notes on the German in- 
strument were produced by pushing in 
the bellows. Consequently, while each 
of us was tolerably proficient with his 
own accordion, neither of us could per- 
form with the other. But as Johnnie had 
the push and I had the pull we managed 
very well with banjo and either accor- 
dion. But, unfortunately, as the two 
instruments were pitched in different 
keys they could not be played together. 
To encourage us I suppose, and to 
promote our musical ambition, our par- 
ents allowed us to attend concerts oc- 
casionally. Our preference, however, 
was for Negro Minstrels which had their 
beginning about that time. I think we 
attended the first performance of its 
kind in Baltimore at a concert of the 
“Virginia Serenaders.” There were less 
than a dozen performers, whose instru-
