April 8, 1893] SUPPLEMENT TO THE PISHING GAZETTE 261 
NOTES FOR CLUB ANGLERS. 
A NUMBER of London club anglers have been spending 
the holidays in the Land of the Broads. 
Club anglers who have fished with George Rosewel), 
of Shepperton, will be pleased to hear that he took a 
trout on the opening day. 
A 431b. SALMON was to be seen in the window of a 
Fleet-street restaurant on Wednesday. It was not 
oaught by a club angler. ___ 
I WONDER if they still sell roach and bream by the 
pound up Petticoat-lane way. I must give them a look 
up.shortly. _ 
Nine pike, the smallest 51b., were, I hear, caught 
by an angler at Ormesby Broad on Monday. 
Have anglers ever had their stuffed fish photo¬ 
graphed? They make very pretty “pictures,” and do 
well to send off to distant angling friends to remember 
one by. _ 
A Norwich angler, named Norton, took a bream 
of 71b. 5oz. on Saturday. Since February he has had 
three bream weighing 191b. 5oz. He is a member of the 
North Heigham Club, and the members should be proud 
of him. 
The Anchor and Hope Angling Club are arranging to 
have an at-home shortly. Their visitors will include 
the South London clubmen, and the meeting promises 
to be a very interesting and entertaining one. In the 
course of the evening Mr. A. Jardine, of pike fame, will 
read a paper. A “smoker” will follow. I h ^ar Mr. 
J. P. Wheeldon will preside. 
On Easter Monday the members of the Waveney 
Angling Club fished a match on the Beocles river. They 
had a good take. The prizes were won by Messrs. J. 
Rouse, G. V. Finch, and Ilorrett. 
A RUDD weighing lib. 13oz. was taken just before the 
close of the season in the Lea at Ware. 
The Chichester Canal has produced a monster perch 
weighing IJlb. The fish, according to a report in the 
Sportsman, wsLa speared. 
The New Albion Piscatorials have a trout prize of 
three guineas for the best fish taken from the Thames 
•during the season. It was presented to them by Mr. 
J. P. Wheeldon, an ardent trout angler. Mr. J. P. W. 
fished at Hampton Court on Monday with William M., 
but came off rather disappointingly, running a brace of 
fish and losing them both. 
Salt-water anglers who use the rod are informed 
that casting from the jetty is not allowed at Great 
Yarmouth. _ 
A salmon trout of 51b. has been caught in a draw- 
net off Gorleston. On Tuesday I also saw a smaller fish 
at the Frogs’ Hall, Great Yarmouth, which had been 
caught in local waters. _ 
The annual dinner of the Norfolk and Suffolk Pisca¬ 
torial Society has just been held at the Great Eastern 
Hotel, Lowestoft. Sir Alfred Sherlock Gooch, Bart., 
occupied the chair, and a very pleasant evening was 
spent. The room in which the dinner was held presented 
a charming appearance; bright bunting draped the 
walls, and over this there was an artistic arrangement 
of rods, nets, baskets, and fishing tackle of all descrip¬ 
tions. Cases of fish and birds, lent by Mr. A. Cubitt and 
Mr. H. Bunn, filled up the corners of the room. The tables 
were decorated with a profusion of cut flower s and plants 
in bloom. A recherche repast was provided by Host 
and Hostess Horne, and gave complete satisfaction. In 
the course of the speeches it was stated that the society 
was increasing in membership, thirty gentlemen having 
joined during the past year. Mr. A. G. Emms, the 
secretary, reported twelve matches had been fished in 
the course of the season. In addition to money prizes to 
the value of ^£14 lOs., the following special awards had 
been made ;—Special prize for the best weight in bottom 
fishing (roach and bream), Mr. Goldspink ; a silver- 
mounted spirit flask, presented by Mr. A. Musson. 
First prize for heaviest bream, Mr. Shipley, jun., a pair 
of military brushes, given by Mr. Roemar. Special for 
the heaviest roach, Mr. E. A. Daniels, a box of cigars, 
from Mr. H. Bunn. Special for specimen codling, Mr. 
E. A. Smith, a case of spirits ; special for the largest 
catch of codlings, Mr. E. A. Smith, a sportsman’s knife, 
given by Mr. J. Ward ; prize for the best pike, the hon. 
secretary, box of cigars from Mr. O’Driscoll. Sir Alfred 
(after presenting the prizes) announced that he would 
give a cup, value five guineas, for competition amongst 
the members for the best catch of the season. 
During the close season we occasionally see fresh¬ 
water fish exposed on fishmongers’ slabs. Perhaps they 
are not acquainted with the following provision in the 
■Mundel^ Act, which I append for their special benefit 
and guidance:—“If any person during this close sea¬ 
son, buys, stlls, or exposes for sale any fresh-water fish, 
he shall on summary conviction before two justices be 
liable to a fine not exceeding 40s.” 
The Thames is very low and bright and rain would 
be welcomed by the trout-anglers. Up to the present I 
have not heard of many captures, but here and there a 
fish has been taken. Several pike have hung on and put 
the troutists in a flurry for a moment. 
A CUTTLE-FISH, Several feet long, was captured at 
Yarmouth on Tuesday by a local beachman. I happened 
to see the horrid-looking creature, which is very rare 
on this part of the coast. Its mouth consisted of a 
horny beak, exactly like that of a parrot in shape, and 
it was provided with numerous suckers. The beachman 
made a good thing by exhibiting the cuttle-fish on the 
jetty and in various parts of the town. 
Dr. Foley’s 171b. pike from St. Neot’s promises to 
sink into insignificance. The Ouse there—so a “native” 
informs me- -holds one quite 401b. 
Scene : Waterloo, April 1. —Trout angler off to Sun- 
bury.—Small boy (displaying basket): “ Look here, 
guvner, ain’t this a fine traout?” T. A. (excitedly): 
“ Where, boy'r where, boy? Did you got it from the 
Thames?” S. B. (exultantly): “ Er, yoo April fool. 
There ain’t no traout, at all. Its taters 1 ” [An inquest 
is to be held on the S. B.j 
The exhibition of fishing tackle at the Royal 
Aquarium closes on the 15th inst. 
A FRIEND of mine says he has discovered a spot (at a 
mill) on the Essex Blackwater where some nice tench 
await my attention next season. Thanks. I should 
like some of the roach from there, too. I must be 
careful] not to poach in the Greshamites’ preserves, 
though! _ 
I have not yet been able to ascertain about Christ¬ 
church. Look out in my next week’s “ Notes ” for the 
latest. _ 
“ Rambler,” a London club angler, writes to me : 
“ I have just returned from a fronting excursion on the 
Barle, West Somerset, where the water is very clear and 
bright. Still, the trout have been giving sport early in 
the morning. With the water so clear you have to use the 
finest cast obtainable. Killing flies : Olive Quill, Corn¬ 
crake, and Grannom. Good'baskets have been made by 
the following : Messrs. Parminter (Minehead), Routh 
(Dulvorton), and H. F. Giles (a visitor), who has had 
the good fortune to kill a trout of 11b. 6oz. Last Thurs¬ 
day 1 saw a handsome fish at the Carnarvon Arms Hotel, 
which had been killed by a gentleman staying there, 
and which must have weighed over lib. 
“ The Junior Fly fishers Club have been well represented 
during the holidays in this part by Messrs. Wilkins and 
Hoyle, the latter angler having several good takes in the 
course of his stay, largest fish 12oz. Many other gentle¬ 
men were successful, in spite of the condition of the 
water. As soon as the rain comes a trout angler cannot 
do better than pay Dulverton a visit. The trout are 
plentiful, the hotel accommodation is good, and the 
charges reasonable, with every comfort a wandering 
angler can require.” Goosequill. 
AV. Babtleet and Sons’ Employes. —The annual 
meeting of the Abbey Mills Sick Benefit Society was 
held on Wednesday, March 22, Mr. Harold S. Bartleet, 
president of the society, in the chair. Mr. Edgar 
Bartleet, vice-president, was also present. Mr. E. 
Penrice, secretary, read the balance sheet and report 
for the year 1892, which showed the society was in a 
thoroughly sound financial condition. Mr. H. S. Bart¬ 
leet, in a few well chosen words, moved the adoption of 
the balance sheet and report, which was cordially 
agreed to. The president, vice-presidents, chairman of 
committee, treasurer, auditors, committee of manage¬ 
ment, and secretary were re-elected. A donation of two 
guineas was voted the Redditch and District Nursing 
Association. Mr. Edgar Bartleet gave a report of the 
year’s work of the Abbey Mills Benevolent Society, a 
separate fund from the Sick Benefit Society—of which 
he is the president. At the conclusion of this report a 
hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr. and Mrs. 
Edgar Bartleet for the personal interest they have 
always evinced in the cases dealt with by the Benevo¬ 
lent Fund, which is reserved exclusively for deserving 
and necessitous cases. Mr. E. Bartleet returned thanks 
for the vote, and the meeting terminated with a vote of 
thanks to the officers and committee. 
Holloway s Oinbnoit and Pills .—Diseases of the skin.—No case 
of disease of the skin, be its nature what it may, has failed to be 
benefited when these potent remedies have been properly appJied. 
In scrofulous and scorbutic affections they are especially service¬ 
able. Scurvy and eruptions, which had resisted all other modes 
of treatment and gradually become worse from year to year, have 
been completely cured by Holloway’s cooling Ointment and puri¬ 
fying Pills, which root out the disease from the blood itself and 
leave the constitution free from every morbid taint. In the 
nursery Holloway’s Ointment should be ever at hand; it will give 
ease in sprains, contusions, burns, scalds, and infantile eruptions, 
and may always safely be applied by any ordinary attendant.
