CARP IN THR PoroAAC-Within O few
months at least dozen specimens OF the Ger
man carp, now being propagated at the gov
eminent nsh ponds, have been caught In the
Potomac near Washington. Yesterday Mr..
George Raub caught fine carp at Four Mile
out OF water, possessed by this fish, il seemei
TO suffer no inconvenience from being taken
BY hand considerable distance TO Mr.. Raub's
house, and when placed In water commenced
swimming about as If nothing had happened.
To-day Mr.. Rauo brought II TO the city
wrapI cd In damp cloth, and yet after its long
journey out OF water 1t seemed TO be as lively
and vigorous as ever. In fact, this fish can i've
and keep In excellent condition for months 10
mud that Is only moderately damp. It Is east
propagated and RAISED. and is an excellent food
fish. The indications are that the carp are In
creasing rapidly in the Potomac aud that the
river will soon swarm with them II they can
escape the perlls of the seize and glll-net.
