On the 2d day Of March, 1885, the Prcs-
dent approved San act TO protect the fish
in the Potomac river in the District OF Co.
lumbia, aud to provide a spawning ground
Tor shad and herring IN the said river"
This act made it unlawful to fish with any
cOntrivancc whatever IN the waters Of the
Potomac within the District of Columbia
other than angling, or fishing with the out
line, for period Of five years. The bound
Hry line between the District and the state
of Virginia Is laid at the high water mark
on the Virginia shore of the river, and con
scqucntly the waters from below the city
front of Alexandria to above the Chain
bridge, q distance of twelve miles, Is
thoroughly protected, and the shOd and

an extensive body of water where they are
unmOlested while performing natures duty

cutcd that the only way a shad or herring
had to get TO the upper waters was to at
taCh himself or herself to the ruddcr of a
steamboat and keep in line until the vessel
reached the point where she turned into
Georgetown.
The river was fast being dcpopuatcd of
these food fishes when the law went into
effect, ard the fishermen were beginning
to wonder the reason why.
To-day small boys are standing on the
Long bridge looking at the thousands of
herring cavorting In the clear waters, and
occasionally snaggng them out with small
graphing hooks.
An old fisherman said to n REPUBLICAN,
