Sam Lovel's Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defence of what he 
believes to be the right.

We camped four miles up the river strn 
for fly-fishing. Our party had been reinfor 
by Major J., who had landed a rainbow 
seventeen pounds last year at this spot, 
who was really the first successful fisher of 
in the river. The weather was dry and brij 
yet we found that it was between twelve 
two in the glaring sun that we had most .' 
cess. There were seldom blank days,- and 
ran from five to fourteen pounds. Flies i 
were grilse .size, and the most successfu, 
green drake with silver body and the i 
tipped governor. The river is a successior 
long, deep pools, and then a run, the wac 
and walking very hard work, the bottom b< 
large, round boulders. The style of fishing 
as for salmon. No doubt there are a cer 
number of rainbow always in the river, but 
majority are working up from the lake 
spawn, and the falling off in color and condi 
was decidedly marked, and in my opinion 1 
did not fight so well as in the lake. Latei 
in the season, I understand, there were s 
very large baskets made here, but chiefly 
spinning. 
Here our pleasant party broke up the mi 
of March, two to try their fortunes deerst 
ing, while I formed a camp at Wclhaha, in 
Western Bay of Lake Taupo. Here Colone 
had been having some fine sport during 
months January to March, but chiefly 
trolling, getting fish up to twenty pou 
Western Bay is a wild spot, with an unbre 
stretch of twenty miles of water, so that c 
munication with the outside world is by 
means easy, and practically impossible witl 
easterly wind. High cliffs surround the v 
ern shore without a foothold, and it is only 
and there where small rivers enter that t 
is a pumice shore, and valleys run back fre 
quarter to two miles in length. Weihaha 
small Maori settlement on the river of 
name. The cliffs here are separated by h; 
mile, and a valley with high cliffs grad' 
drawing in ends at a fine waterfall two r 
away, beyond which the fish cannot get.
