FISHING FOR TARPON.
President Cleveland Lands ON
HOOKED by Mrs. Plant.

Elk President Cleveland Lands One
Hooked by Mrs. Plant.
JUPITER, FLA, April 2.-Ex-P President
Cleveland and his party were all up eating
breakfas. at daybre4k this morning. The
sight of numerous tarpon up Lokohachee
creek on Su day fired their ambition. They
attribute their lack of success on Sunday to
the day, and determined 10 make a final
effort to capture a good specimen of the
famous silver king. By sunrise they were
gliding up the Lokobachee in two
boats, under the guidance Of that jovial
tourists friend, Capt. John Fitzgerald.
They arrived at the tarpOn waters about
z so O'Clock and soon were doing their best.
Tarpon were plentiful and bites came fast,
but the willy Silver King of the water was
TOO cunning, and either parted the line or
succeeded in shaki G the hooks from bis
leathery mouth. Mr. Blyard and one or
two others gave it up, discouraged, and,
changing their bait, so IN had a beautiful
string Of If Dut and cavalli.
MRS. PLANTS SUCCESS.
Mrs Plant would not abandon her tar
pom ia kle, but with a womau's quiet de-
termination fished on for tarpon or nothing
About 1870 o'clock loud cry attracted the
attention of the whole party. Mr.. ii. B.
Plant had hooked a gamy fish, which made
the water fly with his frantic struggles.
AS every eye was turned lire of silver
shot clear out of the water into the
brilliant sunshine. Three times was this
done, proclaiming that the silver king was
securely hooked. Mr.. Plant by this time
was nearly exhausted, and appealed to Mr..
Cleveland, who was in the same boat, for aid,
which he at once CALAMITY and willingly
rendered. After hard fight of forty min
ute5 they succeeded ip landing the fish, Mr.
Cleveland pulling him into the boat with a
triumphant shout.
WEIGHED NINETY-FoUR POUNDS.
1t tipped the scale az ninety -four pounds
The party then returned TO the Steamer
hotel for dinner, well pleased with their
mornings sport. At l 80 O'Clock the party
went aboard the steamer st. Lucie, and
started on a trip to Titusville They all
expressed much regret at having
to leave this beautiful section SO
soon, and said that they would return
next season to stay six weeks. The party
will meet special train at Titusville at
noon tomorrow and will connect with the
st. Johns river steamer at Beresford, ar
irving at Jacksonville Thursday morning,
where an informal reception will be given
them at the Sub-Tropical exposition.
Director General Webb is arranging spe-
cial programme for the occasion.

machinery was out of order, In
addition to this, they were very short
of provisions and asked the Englishmen to
assist them. This Capt. Bennett most
literally, and after spending an hour or
two on the Falshaw the Americans were
rowed back to the disabled man-of-war.

Capt. Bennett says til t he did not learn
when the accident befell the Brooklyn, but
he is Of the opinion that it must have hap
pened after her leaving Honolulu.
MAKING SLOW PROGRESS.
He SAYS that she was making but slow
progress, but Lieut.. Heald left him with the
impression that they were fully contentet,
but for the scarcity of provisions. These
being replenished from the larders Of the
Falshaw, Lieut.. Heal declined
further offers of assistance, say
in that they could make their
way under sail to the Brooklyn navy
