Mr. Jones led the field for nearly a mile, when the running was taken up by 
Wanderer, who obtained a very long lead, but Nellie made up a lot of ground 
towards the finish, and was only beaten a length, Perigord just beating Protest 
for third place.

QUETTA. 
The following short notes of cc light ” mahseer fishing obtainable in the neigh¬ 
bourhood of Quetta, Baluchistan, may prove of use to officers that are ever 
quartered there. Train to Baber Kach, 133 miles, where there is an old railway 
bungalow, permission to occupy which can be obtained from the Chief Engineer 
of the line at Sharigh : it is better, however, to take a small tent, as the house is 
very dirty and infested by mosquitos, &c. The river is about half a mile below 
the railway station; fish from its junction with the Beji River down to the 
station of Nari, 15 miles, moving camp as necessary. Tanduri Station is a good 
central position. The best bait appears to be small rohu or mahseer, which, 
however, are difficult to obtain, if very small hooks are taken the station-master’s 
son at Baber Kach can catch them, three to four inches long are best, and the 
Archer spinner is a very good attachment, 14 feet double-handed trout rod, 60 
yards t line, and two yard single salmon gut casts, with at least three swivels. 
Two sets of Williams’ (10, Great Queen Street, London) detachable leads are 
useful when fishing heavy water. I was informed that spoons were very little 
good, but one day running out of small fish used a spoon known in India as 
Scott’s No. 2 with good results. A few of these should certainly be taken for, 
as before remarked, the small bait are with difficulty procured and rapidly go bad. 
(Note from North Punjab Fishing Club Angler’s Hand-book, 1890. Newman & 
Co., 4, Dalhousie Square, Calcutta). “ It may often be required to preserve dead 
baits or take them to a place where they are not obtainable. Immerse in methy-
