FISH TRADE PRosPECTs.-Reports of the
fishing prospects for this season continue
bright, and It is thought by some that there
will be no lack of shad next week. Her
ring are now in profuse supply and of ex-
ceIIeut quality. No better shad and her
ring have ever been seen than are now com
ing up the river. There are about 250 gill
nets now in operation in the Potomac, of an
average length of l 200 yards. These, to-
gether with . large number of trap nets, are
doing we'll. There is difference of opin-
ion among dealers regarding the future
prospects for shad. Some think the season
Is about over, while others say there will
still be large harvcsts. Gill and trap nets
are largely taking the place of seines.

question thai will in all probability claim
the attention of the council will be the di.
vision of the diocese. This matter has been

atty discussed, but in consequence of the
opposition to it no final action has ever
been taken. This being the centennial
