Truckes Trout for New York.
Re.o Gazette. March II.

Eugene G. Blackford. the proprietor
OF Fulton Market. New York. has an an
nuai exhibition In April Of trout from all
sections OF the United States. Fish
Commissioner Redding. OF California,
has bad procured for him In this market
some fins specimens Of Truckse trout
which will be "expressed" to New York
tonight for Blaokford's exhibition. One
OF the trout to 60 weighs ten pounds. q
fsh that will do no discrsdit to the State.
There is some analogy between fishing
in the Truckee and mining on the Com.
stock. The trout seem to be strung
along the river like ore bodies 10 . silver
lode. You may fish In . great deal OF
barren water before you catch n trout,
bat whom you do get o you have q bo-
napxa. And. again. you may hook q
trout at the first throw Of the line, or
you may fish for days and catch nothing,
Just a. the silver miner may And . boz
nauza at the surface. or have to do lots
Of digging before he strikes ore. The
uncertainties Of angling lend . certain
fascination to the sport, akin 10 that
trusting to luck which induces men to
mins for silver. And a. there are prob.
ably a. good Ash In the river a. ever were
