despite the stringent regulations and the strict 
watch kept over it by a man named Briggs de- 
tailed for that purpose. The whole police force 
of Newark could not prevent fishing in Clinton 
reservoir. The shore line is a number of miles 
in length and most of it is densely wooded. It 
iS an easy matter for a man to approach the 
water from the woods and do some casting or 
still-fishing and he would be a poor stick of a 
man indeed if he could not lose himself in the 
woods as soon as Briggs puts in an appearance. 
“I formerly fished Clinton reservoir about one 
day in the week during the season and I was 
never disturbed. I took all the precautions pos- 
sible, but many a fine fish have I stolen away 
from Newark, without Newark being any the 
poorer or worse for it, for I had conscience enough 
never to pollute the water in any way. It was 
a clean case of graft on my part, and from the 
enjoyment I got out of it I am not at all sur- 
prised that graft is so popular. Somehow or 
other trespassing always aids to the sport of 
fishing or gunning either. I presume it is the

presume our accounts were about even. When 
friends, to whom I showed the fish. suggested 
that I must have had fun capturing them I did 
not deny the suggestion, remembering that on 
the authority of Grover Cleveland the standard 
of veracity about fishing is altogether different 
from the ordinary standard in life. The size 
and number of the fish developed a desire to 
fish the reservoir from a boat. I accordingly 
suggested to my friend that we might get a 
boat, and by fishing early in the morning, before 
Briggs arrived, we could have some hours of 
great sport. The suggestion was readily adopted, 
and so on the third of July we secured a boat. 
and taking it to the reservoir in a wagon hid 
it in the bushes. I had it all figured out, a la 
Sherlock Holmes. Briggs would be busy watch- 
ing the reservoir all day on the third, and then 
fe would not put in an apeparance on the fourth 
until 9 o’clock. If we arrived at the reservoir 
at 4 o'clock in the morning we could have half 
a day’s fishing before Briggs got there. That 
my detective philosophy was correct as far as 
the third was concerned was proven by the fact 
that we saw Briggs and some help patrolling the 
reservoir while we were hiding the boat in the nee 
brush. So on the morning of the fourth we | p
