Paterson, 9ilb ; Mr. J. Skirving, Sflb ; Mr. J. Ternent, 
6ilb. ; Mr. A. Martin, 71b.; Mr. J. H. Wilson. 4Jlb. ; 
Mr. W. Martin, Vilb.; Mr. B. Balsillie, Sflb. ; Mr. Jas. 
Calder, S^lb. ; Mr. E. Calder, about 3)b. ; Mr. W. 
Young, jun., 8Jlb. ; Mr. W. Weightman, Sjlb. ; Mr. E.

2|lb. ; Mr. A. Young, 2|lb. ; Mr. A. Scott, jun., 2}lb.; 
Master E. Purves, 2Jlb. Many other smaller baskets 
have also been killed. On the Tweed, [on Wednesday. 
Mr. G. Thompson had 101b. of fine trout, and on the 
same day on the Leet, Mr. J. Hall, jun., fishing-rod 
maker, had 81b.; on Monday forenoon last, Mr. A. Den¬ 
holm, Kelso, fishing with worm under the shadow of the 
south arch of Kelso Bridge, killed eleven perch, weighing 
4ilb., and on the following day he had three more fish 
of the same kind weighing 2ilb.—M axwheel. 
Usk (at Usk) .—The Usk keeps abnormally low, and 
angling is now at a standstill. The water bailiffs were 
out on Wednesday and netted the river from the Eock 
Pool to the Bell Pool, which resulted in the catch of 
eighteen salmon and sewin, the heaviest being 271b. 
Several shad have been noticed in the river of late 
which is a very unusual occurrence, as these fish have 
been very scarce of late years. 
Irisli Reports. 
Ballinderry. —On the Ardtrea sections some few 
trout were killed in the evenings by local men, the best 
being one 3^1b. taken by E. Kempton, below Ardtrea 
Bridge. On the lower waters, M. Millan, P. Mallon, 
G. Wilson, and others had light baskets, and on Tuesday 
evening your correspondent killed five trout, fijlb. 
I’erch are swarming into the river from Lough Neagh. 
Baun, Toome Bridgfe. —No freshly run salmon have 
yet been taken off the mouth of the river. In a few 
weeks the flax water plague will be on the rampage, and 
if there be not plenty of water the consequences will be 
disastrous. 
Blackwater, Benbnrb, Co. Tyrone.— A little sport 
is still enjoyed here although the water is awfully low. 
In the week, Mr. John Miles got a nice S./ario 2Jlb., and 
five others, averaging |lb. Mr. J. Eichardson killed a 
brown trout SJlb., and Mr. .1. Beatty had one IJlb. 
Kelts are yet plentiful in the river, and many of them 
are being killed.—J. A. B. 
Carlisle Arms Hotel (Congf.) — We are having 
splendid sport here for the past week, and should the 
present favourable weather continue, there should be 
some large baskets next week. On Wednesday last, 
Messrs. Herring and Farrar got 201b. of trout on Iiough 
Mask. Thursday, on Lough Coolin, with Mr. Twining 
and Capt. Bnshell, they landed fifty trout, the largest 
weighing lib. Friday, on Lough Mask, Capt. Bushell 
got four nice trout, 101b., the largest 4Jlb. 
Erne, and Lougfb. Melvin.— The very hot and 
bright weather continued all through the past week, and 
in consequence sport was poor; a few small salmon were 
taken on the Erne, but nothing worth noting. The 
sport on “ Melvin,” with the trout, continued good in 
spite of the hot weather, and some capital baskets were 
taken last week, rain is badly wanted.—M. E., jun. 
Lougb Currane (Waterville, Co. Kerry).— Bright 
weather and calm water have combined to spoil the 
chances of sport. Brown trout angling has been fair, 
but no salmon or peal have been had. The best basket 
recorded during the week was one of twenty white or 
sea trout.— Thos. J. Denneht. 
Moy and Lakes (Ballina). —Since last report we 
have had over six inches of fresh water in the river, 
which stirs up the sea-trout and grilse ; but, owing to 
bright sunshine and calm days, sport was poor with 
grilse. Sea-trout fishing was better : Mr. J. P. Bourke 
getting fifteen on Thursday, fourteen on Friday, 
and twelve on Saturday. I have never seen so 
many sea-trout in the river so early in June, 
some of them very fine fish up to 31b. and 41b. On 
the Loughs trout fishing has been fairly good. Col. 
Eogers had a salmon of 71b., and some nice trout up to 
IJlb. ; as also had Mr. Lovey some nice baskets of fish, 
a few of his largest trout going 2Jlb. Mr. F. Wiggin 
also had a few good baskets of fish, his best being twelve 
trout weighing 131b., best fish 21b. In three days, Mr. 
Carlton Cross, thirty-six trout weighing 401b., the largest 
weighing 101b., next largest 41b. The Eev. Mr. Cheyton 
had a pike of 271b.— Frank Heaens. 
Shannon and Lough Derg (Killaloe). —There 
has been some splendid sport on the free water here 
this week. The beats above the bridge, on the Ballina 
side of the river, actually swarm with grilse, and every 
day for the last week anglers have been having rare 
sport. Several rods have killed, before breakfast, as 
many as four grilse, and this (Wednesday) morning two 
rods have landed ten grilse. The fun is only beginning, 
as the grilse will keep on running up from the sea for 
weeks yet. I shall take pleasure in answering any 
letters from gentlemen who may care to write to me. 
Capt. Lewis, who is fishing Col. Willan’s water, killed 
two salmon one day this week, and has also creeled 
several dishes of lovely river trout. Lough Derg has 
recently yielded some big pike and perch. 
The Shannon (Castle Connell).— The water is 
now low, and the weather being dry and bright, sport is 
not so good as it should be. Peal are plentiful, but 
weather and water are against angling. On Doonass Mr. 
H. Hodges got, on the 7th, one peal, 61b. ; one salmon, 
141b. 9th, two peal, 2lb. and 51b. ; 10th, two salmon, 71b. 
and 111b. Mr. G. W. Greenhill on same water—13th, 
one peal, Clb. Sir H. B. Meredyth, Bart., on Prospect, 
got one salmon, 91b., on the 7th. Mr. B. L. Marples, on 
Newgarden on the 8th, one peal, 51b. ; 9th, four peal, 
31b., 31b., 31b., 51b. ; 12th, two peal, 21b. and 3Jlb. On 
Hermitage Mr. Whitehead got one salmon, 1.51b., on 7th; 
and on the same water Lord Massey got one peal, 
41b, on the 9th. On Woodlands Captain Bayly got one 
salmon, 13|lb., on the 8th. — John Weight & Son. 
Westmeath Lakes, Mullingar.— Pishing on Lough 
Ennell is poor. On Derravaragh there is good sport 
among the pike. I had the pleasure of weighing and 
measuring two very handsome trout taken by Mr. Willie 
Mares, of the Fish Preservation Society, while trolling 
upon Lough Owel. The fish were a male and female, 
weighing 7.) and 71b., and measuring 2.5in. length, 14in. 
girth, and 26in. length, 13in. girth respectively. They 
were both in splendid condition. Several other trout 
were taken same day, as also a number of char, which 
latter are very numerous in Lough Owel.—T. J. W.

Holloway's Pills and Ointment .—During piercing winds and 
excessive variations of temperature every one is more or less 
liable to internal and external disease. Throat, chest, liver, 
bowels, kidneys, and skin, all suffer in some degree, and may be 
relieved by rubbing in this Ointment, aided by proper doses of the 
Pills, for administering which full directions accompany each 
box; in truth, any one who thoroughly masters Holloway’s 
‘‘instructions ” will, in remedying disease, exchange the labour of 
an hour for the profit of a lifetime. .Ml bronchial, pulmonary, 
and throat disorders, require that the Ointment should be 
thoroughly well rubbed upon the skin twice a day with great 
regularity, considerable briskness, and much persistence.

P.S. —The first clean run flah of this season in the Tyne was taken by an angler using one of 
these rods and one of our flies. The fish would have fallen to the lot of another equally good 
angler had he been possessed of a similar weapon. After seeing the superiority of “ Our Rods ” he 
did not long delay a visit to our store to be similarly equipped. 
Another of our flies produced the se.eo7id flsh for this season, and, as proof of the durability and 
killing powers of our flies, may state that with this one fly fourteen flsh have been taken.
