Black Bass In Maryland Waters.

To the Editor of The Evening Star.
In your issue OF April you published an
article relative to recent enactments of the
legislature of Maryland concerning the fishing
for black bass in waters of that state have
heard the matter criticised so much by fisher
men that have been in hopes that some one
would comment on the phraseology OF the law
and interpret Its meaning.
The sections quoted are: 'That it shall not
be lawful for any person within the state to
take. catch or kill any fresh water black bass
of less than one-half pound in weight and
save only with a hook and line, or to have any
such black bass in his possession, or to take.
catch or kill the same except during the last If
teen days of the month Of June and during the
months of July, August, September, October.
November and December und er . penalty"
&c.
The next section prohibits the catching Of
any fresh water black bass by any device or
continuance save as provided In the preceding
section.
Now, what does that mean? hear some
argue that the first section OF this Law relates
entirely to catching fsk OF less than a half
pound weight; that there is no prohibition
against the catching Of fish of over that weight
at any time with hook and line, aud that fsh
Of less than one-half pound weight cannot be
caught except during the last fifteen days of
the month of June" DC.
Such an Interpretation may seem ridiculous to
the Trainer of the Law, and yet it may seem to
be bornc ont by the words Of the enactment.
The lawmakers intended. no doubt. to protect
young fsh at all times aud also to protect older
ones during spawning season, and il any ven-
turesome angler would risk himself during the
closed period he may discover to his loss that
the county Justices would fine sl0 for every
bass caught at that time and like fine for
every small one killed between June Is and
December 81. and also the same penalty for
any one caught ct any time IN any way .'sass
With hook and lima" EA

AN AMBITIOUS PROGRAM.

AN AhBITlOUS PhO0hAM
This match brings to a conclusion the pro-
gram mapped out by Col Clay for the gallery
season of 90 The remaining time will be
devoted to periect;ng the records. Every man
in the regiment is going to try to make full
scores over all the ranges. Col Clay and his
inspector of rifle practice-Capt. Bell
have set the example aud word
has been passed along the line that ''possibles"
will be most acceptable. So harmonious
is the working Of the recognized bsttaiions OF
the second that encouragement has been given
to Capt Bells cherished idea that the seeoAd
will capture nine out Of the twelve places on
the brigade team Of 80. First regiment men
laugh little over Capt Bells enthusiasm,
but they will have to do more than laugh before
they upset his calculations. Conscientious
endeavor on his part and the part of his assist
ants may be too much for both the first regi-
ment and the engineer corps.
The second regiment has lost great deal in
the decadence OF company A. fifth battalion.
That was sharpshoo.;rg company of more
than ordinary strength, but its officers seem to
have neglected it, or perhaps il neglected its
officers; but whichever horn of the dilemma
u selected the result remains unchanged
