pool, "only twenty minutes walk from the

Yet on May 81 there were one hundred rods
in the pool by actual count, yet only three
fish were taken. He concludes; "Let us
hope and trust that a broad and conservative
spirit may animate the anglers of Maine,
those who angle for health-giying sport and
those to whom it is bread and butter-then
can her lakes and rivers be made to teen
