Florida mullet, a merchant of Baltimore
proposes giving fish dinner to which the
various newspaper men of the city will be
invited. On this occasion Florida mullet

the result will rebound to the profit Of Flor

The mullet, either fresh or sailed, is the
frmest fish on the Gulf coast, and when
caught fresh and fried cannot be excelled.
In many places where this fish has been
introduced it has superseded the mackerel.
