The cold, unreasonable weather which
has prevailed this month has deferred the
usual eastern cruises Of the New York
and Boston yachts, which of late have
yearly visited our beautiful bay. Weeks
ago Triggers, sailmakers, carpenters and
painters completed their work of repair
ing and reftting and the pretty craft are
now nOdding and dancing at their moor
ings in home ports with spars all ataunto,
and with well filled lockers Settled
weather and favorable breezes will bring
them down upon us like flock of white
winged sea birds Some grow enthusiast
tic over horse flesh, and the pleasures of
the turf but give the yachtsman a stiff
breeze and a fleet yacht, whose sharp
bow cleaves the brine, leaving the bub-
bles to dance and sparkle in her wake,
and he cares not Il fig for the tieetest
racer that ever passed under the string Il
winner.
The Worlds greatest fishery is the
term applied the sealing business ON
the newfoundland coast and statement
of the past seasons operations compared
with other fisheries makes it plain that
the term has not been mis-applied. The
statistics show the capture ola grand total
of nearly half million seals, of gross
weight Of over ten thousand tons, and rep
resenting a value in European markets
of some Sl,25O,0OO. This large contrbu-
ton to the common wealth of the world
has been supplied by about twelve thou
sand Newfoundland fishermen in 4 single
economic industry, and during the brief
period of two months. 1t is therefore no
eNaggeraton to affirm that this seal fish
cry is the worlds greatest ocean fishery.
