TEST FOR YOURSELF 
Mix the best cocktail you know 
how — test it side by side with a 
Club Cocktail 
No matter how good a Cocktail 
you make you will notice a smooth¬ 
ness and mellowness in the Club 
Cocktail that your own lacks. 
Club Cocktails after accurate 
blending of choice liquors obtain 
their delicious flavor and delicate 
aroma by ageing in wood before 
bottling. A new cocktail can 
never have the flavor of an aged 
cocktail.

care to keep them in the submerged posi- 
If nature did not favor the char with de¬ 
fensive weapons against predatory fish, she cer¬ 
tainly supplied it with some resources in the way 
of cunning, for it takes no risks with the pike, 
avoiding all waters where this natural enemy 
is to be found. Indeed, so- e.Kclusive is the char 
that it seems to prefer having a lake all to it¬ 
self. In a mountainous region of the County of 
Cavan, Ireland, the writer is familiar with a 
small lake about a mile long and three-quarters 
broad, which teams with small char, and the only 
other fish found in the lake are eels. The pres¬ 
ence of char in this little lake is very mysteri¬ 
ous. The locality is wild and isolated and quite 
away from civilization almost, so- that it would 
seem to be very improbable that the char were 
put there by the hand of man. This lake is the 
only one in Ireland that is known to contain 
char, which seems to be in itself very strange. 
But this is not the only peculiar feature about 
fish distribution in Ireland. In Lough Neagh 
(in Ulster) the largest lake in the British Isles, 
which is fourteen miles by twelve, there is a 
small, pretty, herring-like fish {Corcgonus pollan) 
belonging to the Salmonidce family, and is close¬ 
ly allied to the whitefish of the American Great 
Lakes. In appearance it is e.xactly like a North 
Atlantic herring, and its average weight is about 
one-quarter to one-half pound, reaching some¬ 
times to about three-quarter pound. It is beau¬ 
tifully silvered and very gracefully shaped. The 
lake abounds with these fish, which go in shoals 
and are netted, like herring, by local fishermen 
who find a ready market for them in the neigh¬ 
boring towns. The flavor of the fish is quite 
similar to that of the whitefish. 
The pollan is peculiar to Ireland and Lough 
Neagh, although it was thought at one time that 
specimens of the fish were found in Lough Derg 
on the Shannon. No satisfactory evidence of 
this is available. It is interesting to know that 
this fish is a cousin of the char—the subject of 
this sketch. 
Yet another distinction Ireland enjoys in 
regard to its salmonoid fish is its “gillaroe” or 
“gillaroo” trout (Salmo fario) which belongs 
exclusively to Lough Melvin, a fine trout lake 
about six and one-half miles long and three and 
one-half miles broad, situated between the county 
of Sligo on the one side, and the counties of 
Leitrim and Fermanagh on the other. This 
strange variety of the European trout is pos¬ 
sessed of a stomach so strengthened as to form 
a regular gizzard like that of a fowl, and is 
sometimes called a “gizzard trout.’’ Apart from 
this special feature the fish is an ordinary well- 
conditioned lake trout, which grows to seven or 
eight pounds or more. As a sport and food fish 
it is splendid, and is very highly prized. In the 
month of May and June there.are many visitors 
from Great Britain and elsewhere to Lough 
Melvin, with rod and fly, in order to enjoy some 
good sport with the “gillaroo.” The visitors to 
Lough Melvin will find ample accommodation in 
the hotels in the celebrated watering place, Bun- 
doran. which is only about three miles from 
Lough Melvin, and the fishing is free to all 
visitors. 
Enthusiasm is contagious. A magazine 
edited with enthusiasm is bound to be read 
with enthusiasm—advertising pages and all.
