G. D. TILLEY, Darien, Conn. 
I was listening to stories of the fish, and the 
fishing of the rivers and lakes of Colorado that 
fairly set my blood on fire, and caused my hands 
to itch for the grip of the rod once more. I 
verily believed that it was nought but a miracle 
that prevented us from going out and trying 
our luck by moonlight on that glorious Sep¬ 
tember night. But we kept ourselves in hand, 
and made a tryst for five o’clock the following 
morning, when we had horses brought round ! 
and rode out some seven miles from the city 
for my first view of the trout, and of one of the 
several hatcheries that have been established 
by the Government of the State. 
I took a considerable share in the rainbow 
question in England ten and twelve years ago, 
when the first great attempts were being made 
to acclimatize this truly sporting fish in home 
waters. We made the mistake there, however, 
of assuming that the rainbow requires warm 
waters in which to luxuriate, and failure 
naturally resulted. Brave attempts were made 
to establish the fish in the Sussex Ouse, but it 
disappeared as fast as the_slock fish were placed 
in its waters. Now, that sort of thing could not 
happen in the waters of Northern India. There 
the waters are of the same character as are the 
waters of which the rainbow is a native, and it 
should flourish, like the proverbial green bay 
tree, in their shallows and depths. 
It has many advantages to recommend its 
acclimatization in India. It is a handsome fish, 
and a game one, and gives the best of sport, and 
no one can complain that it will not rise to the | 
fly. It grows quickly, and attains a biggish 
weight, and, when it has been brought to grass, 
it is as fine a food fish as is to be found in any 
waters anywhere in the world.—The Asian. 
HUNTING THE POLAR BEAR. 
In connection with the recent excitement 
anent polar discovery, Colonel Max Fleisch- . 
man, the Cincinnati sportsman, gives an inter¬ 
esting account of how bears are hunted away 
up in the Arctics. 
“Shortly after six of an August evening,” he 1 
relates, “my guest on the yacht, Mr. Lear- 
month, sighted a bear climbing the ice-hum¬ 
mocks of a great field, a mile and a half from 
the water’s edge, and immediately we were in 
pursuit. 
“The going was bad; we had to wade through 
fresh-water pools covered with thin layers of 
new ice; jump the channels, where sea water 
had eroded the ice, and pierce snow, deep- and 
soft on the hummocks, in which one sank to 
the waist. ' 
“The bear was lost sight of once we left the 
ship, but rapid walking for three-quarters of an | 
hour brought him again to view. Learmonth, ■ 
the doctor, Pettersen, and Cary, as well as a 
sailor, went to the left, another sailor and I 
turned to the right, all running, so soon as con¬ 
cealed by hummocks, and crawling on all fours 
whenever we might be seen by the bear. Hard 
running then enabled me to turn the animal, and 
lie started off at a rapid trot in the direction 
of the rest. Now and then he stood erect, his 
black nose pointing skyward as he sniffed the 
air and surveyed the scene. 
“When within 120 yards of the bear, Petter¬ 
sen, our native, released the impatient dog, and 1 
‘Nopaleon’ dashed at the bear. 
“Bruin made for the top of a great hummock, 
there to raise himself on his hind legs, and it 
was while in this position that Learmonth’s 
rifle laid him low—the bear coming down heavy 
on his back—and so we found him, rolling from 
side to side, growling and snarling at the dog 
who circled nearer and nearer about, till I came 
in and put an end to him. 
“The bear’s skin having been removed, it was 
placed fur down and the four legs tied together, 
a rope passed through the mouth and throat, 
and then bound in two long loops. 
“Coming now to 75 deg. 20 min, north lati¬ 
tude, sixty miles from the Greenland coast, we 
were in a great bear-land. 'J| J 
“Bears were numerous and served as almost 
the only variant to the monotony of awaiting 
the ice’s opening that we might advance.”— 
County Gentleman.

INTER OCEAN 
HUNTING TALES 
Edgar F. Randolph 
A series of hunting reminiscences of rare 
charm for the sportsman and for the wider 
circle which delights in true tales Of outdoor 
life. With none of the high coloring and ex¬ 
aggeration which give a false note to so many 
hunting stories, Mr. Randolph’s book is never 
lacking in interest. 
He covers the field of sport with the rifle, 
east and west, drawing a vivid word picture of 
life in the open, subordinating his own exploits 
to the main incidents of outdoor experience, 
giving much valuable information on camp life, 
hunting and the habits of wild game, and con¬ 
tinually delighting the reader with the freshness 
of his viewpoint. 
This book will strike a sympathetic chord in 
the memory of every big-game hunter of ex¬ 
perience and will prove of real value to the 
novice who is planning an excursion into the 
wild.
