[March 11, 1893 
take 'a boat especially overland from Waterville lake. 
This latter course is, however, very seldom taken, except 
when the angling is abnormally poor on the last-men¬ 
tioned water. 
I have to record the very unusual capture of a white 
or sea trout on Feb. 28. It was taken on a natural bait 
while spinning for salmon by a veteran angler nanied John 
Segerson. It weighed 2.Jlb. As a rule those fish rarely 
appear before the middle of April, and even then they 
only arrive in very limited numbers. 
Sea angling has commenced along the Kerry coast, 
but it shall not become general until May. At Ballin- 
skelligs whiting anglers have done well with hand lines 
and mussel baits. 
At Portmagee large numbers of ling, <tc., were got 
by trammels last week, but at other points nothing 
worth mentioning appears to have been done. As I 
write, the weather appears to have assumed a settled 
springlike aspect, and if it continues fine sea angling is 
anticipated to afford much sport during the present 
month. _, 
ULSTER. — A nice spell of warm weather commenced 
on Tuesday evening, but rather sunny overhead for 
successful fly fishing. 
Mr. James A. Barlowe. Stewartstown, has just been 
appointed a distributor of salmon-rod licences on the 
Bann, Ballinderry, Main, Blackwater, Six-mile water, 
Moyola, and other rivers in the Coleraine Conservancy 
district. 
Last Tuesday evening the annual meeting of the 
Belfast Angling Association was held in the French Cafe, 
Arthur-square. Dr. Barnett, president, in the chair. 
There was a good attendance of the members present. 
After a few preliminary remarks from the chairman, the 
yearly report was read by the secretary, Mr. F. J. 
Kennedy, and, without discussion, was adopted. It set 
forth, that in the past twelve months there was a decided 
improvement in angling over the area in which the 
influence of the B.A.A. was at work. The systematic 
poisoning of the rivers by lime, mango, &o., was reduced 
to a minimum, and in the Six-mile water, formerly pol¬ 
luted, there was a perceptible increase in the number of 
trout, and fish were now found in places formerly 
inhabitable. The club had also successfully negotiated 
for fishing privileges on Stoneyford Lake — 100 acres in 
extent. Altogether, the report was a most encouraging 
one. Two clubs—the Lisburn Club and the North-East 
Ulster Club—had been brought into existence through 
the instrumentality of the B.A.A., and these are pro¬ 
gressing rapidly. The election of office-bearers was then 
gone into. Dr. Barnett was re-elected president, for the 
fifth time, and, in addition to Mr. Gerrard, V.P., three 
other members — Colonel Brereton, Major J. C. S. Irving, 
and Mr. S. E. Agnew — were elected vice-presidents. 
The committee as they stood were re-elected, and three 
vacancies were filled on the same. The finances of the 
club were found to be in a very satisfactory condition, 
and the total number of members now reaches the 
respectable total of 141. Votes of thanks to the secre¬ 
tary, Messrs. Hawthorne, W. J. Love, S. Love, J* 
McCammon, Ballyclare, and to Mr. A. Meenan, J.P., 
treasurer, were enthusiastioally carried, and the business 
terminated. 
Avon and Erme Fishery District. — Trout 
fishing in the Rivers Avon and Erme commenced on 
March 1, and terminates on September 30. Salmon 
fishing, with rod and line, commences in the River 
I Avon on May 2, and in the River Erme on April 5, and 
I terminates in both rivers on Nov. 29. The charge for 
licences is: For salmon, whole season, 208. each; for 
trout, whole season, 10s. each; for trout, one week, 5s. 
each ; for trout, one day, 2a. each. A salmon licence 
covers trout fishing. Any person found fishing in any 
waters in this district without having previously ob¬ 
tained a licence will be prosecuted. Licences may be

Wm. Beer, solicitor, King:8bridge. Persons wishing to 
exchange season trout licences for salmon licences 
may be credited with the amount paid in respect of the 
trout licence. No fishing is allowed with minnow, or 
with any artificial bait except fly, until after July 31, 
nor with worm until after May 16. All fish taken below 
Shipley Bridge, on the Avon, and Harford Bridge, on 
the Erme, not exceeding Tin. in length, are to be put 
back into the water. Fishing on Sundays is prohibited. 
The water bailiffs have orders to report any infraction 
of these rules to the Clerk of the Board. Agents are 
requested to fill in the dates and names, and sign each 
licence before issuing the same. — By Order of the Board, 
William Beer, clerk.

Holloway's Pills .—Impurities of the Blood.—To ensure health 
it is absolutely necessary that the fluids and solids of the human 
body should be kept free from those impurities which are 
continually getting admission into the system by erroneous 
living, unwholesome atmosphere, or disordered stomach. The 
only safe and certain way to expel all impurities is to take 
Holloway’s Pills, which have the power of cleansing the blood 
from all noxious matters, and at the same time removing any 
irregularities which their presence may have already produced in 
any organ. Holloway’s Pills expel all humours which taint or 
impoverish the blood, which they purify and invigorate, and give 
general tone. They are applicable to all alike—young or old, 
robust or delicate.
