SHAD, Oh! SHAD!
THE SEASON ALMOST READY
TO OPEN.
Earlier fiaaM Usual Will the Della
ware Shad Appear in
Abundance.

Everybody seems waiting for the sue
culent shad, and the fishermen in this
locality are getting their boats and
nets in readiness for an active season
A great many Bridgeton fishermen de-
pend upon the shad season for con
siderable money, and they usually get
it for they are good fishermen and usu-
ally have good luck. Some fishermen
have already been down the Cohansey,
but as vet none are reported caught,
although some excellent rock fish have
been taken from the nets Last Satur-
day, in Philadelphia, there were
seventy. five fine shad, caught in the
Delaware, and they were readily sold
for sixty cents apiece to dealers, and
were disposed of at retail for eighty
and ninety cents. 1t is said to have
been several years since SO many shad
have been caught at one time so early
in the season. In former years stray
shad has been occasionally caught in
Delaware Bay much earlier than this,
but the regular run" did not begin
until much later.
There are, as usual, varying opinions
among fisherman and dealers as to the
prospects as to the coming shad fish
ing season in the Delaware. Some con-
tend that the seasons alternate, and
that last year being a good one this
year will be poor one. Others say:
"We know nothing, and cannot proph-
ecy what will be the result of this
years shad season. It is governed by
circumstances" The opinion seems to
be general that the run" OF shad will
begin earlier this year than usual, as
there are but little snow and ice in the
upper Delaware to melt and come
down, consequently the water will be
of the proper temperature to tempt
1.-THE shad on the journey to their spawn
EEg grounds. The ''gillers,n all along
the river are ready to put their nets in
the water at the earliest moment,
while down in the bay they are already
at work.
1t has been but few years since the
residents of the Northern States had
to wait until the waters in their vicinity
were ready to yield their shad before
they could indulge in the favorite pis.
catorial luxury. Now, fresh shad are
in the Northern markets as early as
January, Florida beginning to send
hers first by fast freight, followed by
the Savannah production then the
North Carolina and Virginia season
opens and continues until the Della
ware Bay and river fish are in season.
The market is now supplied with
North Carolina shad, and the early
part of last week they came quite
freely; but the storms of the later part
of the week interfered with the fishing.
and on Saturday they were rather
scarce, roes selling for $55 and bucks
for $50 a hundred. If the present mild
weather continues the receipts will
increase, and North Carolina shad are
expected to hold the market until the
middle of April, no matter how early
the Delaware season opens. 1t is said
that North Carolina shad caught in
the afternoon are offered for sale in the
Philadelphia market the next morning.

CAN LICENSES BE GRANTED .
Jersey Lawyers Puzzled Over the
Law.


New Jersey lawyers are confronted
with knotty problem in the Liquor
License law. 1t is whether last years
local option elections in the four coun-
ties will continue in force under the
Werts repeater. The Bar is distinctly
divided upon the question. Some law
yers of eminence hold that the repeater
vitiates those elections, and that the
saloon keepers have but to secure IL
censes, as in the old way, to go On SELL
ing again. Others declare that under
the late lamented Local Option law
the people of those counties voted
dry" for three years, and that dry"
the counties must remain for that
length of time.
No less a person than Ex-Governor
Albeit, who is the counsel of the liquor
dealers of the State, and who brought
the former law before the Supreme
Court, is said to incline to the opinion
that no licenses to sell liquors can be
granted in those counties that voted
dry" until three years from the date
of the election under that law. Law
yers of equal learning as the ex-Gov-
ernor say that cannot be; that the very
intent of the law was to defeat those
elections.
The question will, however, be speed
lily presented to the Supreme Court for
an answer. A test case is to be made.
The license of Mahlon w. Newton,
proprietor of Woodbury's new hotel,
one of the best equipped in South Jer-
sey, expires early in April. He will
apply to the County Court at the April
term for renewal. If his application
should be refused ne will at once take
the matter to the Supreme Court on a
writ of certiorari. The Court will be
urged to give an immediate decision so
that the vexed question may be settled
at once.

POSTPONED UNTIL TOMORROW = PROBABLE
WINNERS.
The races appointed to be run at Monmouth Park
yesterday we're put off until tomorrow, because of
the violent storm and the hopeless condition Of the
track from the furious rain. So much water fell
that the track must inevitably be heavy tomorrow.
The entries, which will stand, are given below.
Owing to the condition of the track it seems adj
vsable to make changes in the suggestions
of possible winners and second horses given in The
Tribune yesterday.
