The article in the Baltimore SIM and
Washington Star of May 2Sth and also
published in the Adoocate of last week does
an injustice to our citizens by representing
frequent violations of the fish law at the
Great Falls. We are creditably informed
that our sporting fraternity regarded rigidly
the prohibitions Of this law and whenever
violated it has been by persons from the
District. Two of young lawyers visited
the Falls on the Saturday previous to the
appearance of the article, and the observant
correspondent of the STIR mus have inferred
from their dignified and courtly bearing that
they were county offlcials-hence his belief
that they ignored the law. We can vouch
for the department Of these gentlemen while
there and they left without meriting any
such unjust criticism. The only fishing in
dulged in since May LIST was dipping for
shad. We suppose from frequent potation
or deep stupidity the correspondent of the
Star could not distinguish shad from a
