Smelt fishermen are now 10 the height Of
their glory. During the past week large
strings Of these t0othsome fishes have been
caught from off Lomhard-street wharf
Speaking of the smelt Mr.. Mather, an East
eTn authority on several kinds Of saltwater
fishes, says:
The smet Is very prolific, containing
from $4,000 to 10000 eggs. When first
Matched they are about q quarter of an inch
long and OF the diameter of a thread of sc
sewing cotton. They seem to thrive as well
in fresh water as in salt, and when they
have been planted In freSh-water lakes they
soon swarm in the inlet streams at spawn
ing time. The first report Of the Maine Fish
Commission says: In quality the fresh
water smelt are fully equal to those from
tide waters. Those from Monmouth have
been placed side by side with smelt from
Damariscotta and received the preference.
. They have no superior among all
inhabitants Of our waters, unless il be the
Whiie-fish."
A few weeks ago mention was made of a
prospecting trip Al Wilson, the wizard OF
the streams had to the sloughs oil the
Sacramento River near Jersey Landing for
striped bass.
He found the whereabouts Of these gamy
and succulent fishes but owing to the very
muddy condition Of the water angling was
out If question.
Wilson is of the opinion that the bass will
be caught by anglers along the coast when
their numbers increase. but il they are
killed off by net-fishermen during their
breeding season, which is at the present
time, 1t will be several years before they
win become really plentiful.
If the Fish Commissioners could afford
the time to visit the Clay-street markets on
Friday mornings they would be surprised to
find several bass on the market slabs that
would not weigh over two pounds. The
law says that striped bass under eight
pounds must not be taken.
Last Sunday Mr.. John Berger OF 334
Pine street caught some small fish, about s
inches in eRgth, while dy-hshing in the

Stevenson, the Australian oerSman who
has been rusticating on this coast for sew
eral months, bundled up his traps last Tues
day and took his departure for Toronto,
Canada. The Antipodean has a contract to
instruct the oarsmen of an Eastern rowing
club, which will last during the summer
months lie is glad TO have an opportunity
OF seeing the Eastern cities, and according
to the opinions Of rowing judges, who have
seen Stevenson rowing In Australian waters,
1t would be advisable for second-class Amer
lean oarsmen to refrain from meeting him
in match races He Is very unassuming
and gentlemanly fellow. who will soon run
into favOritism with the members OF the
club he is ON his way to take the manage
ment of.
Erie, Pa, has offered purse of $500 for
Hanlan and OCOnnOr TO row H0smer and
Teemer there on June 20 and $500 for

Oarsmen have accepted the offer, while
HOsmer and Teemer are also willing.

A more delightful way Of spending a holt
day leiSurely cannot be devised. There IS
constant change OF scene and utter indlf-
ference to the conventional ways OF the
world. The pastime of caravaning Is GER
tainly more recreative than living in house

rivers. The DIXIE looks forward to the
time when electricity will be at the service
OF caravans. but in the meantime couple

suffice. Good roads are requisite for this
sort of pleasure, and that may be hind

Deemine's autobiography is probably not
worth much when the lawyer who de-
Tended him kesilateS about giving 1t to the
world. The public would have preferred
diary of the miscreants life, with the notes
genuinely rejecting his innermost thoughts
on the dreadful crimes he penetrated. The
Rainhl murders are as frightful tragedies
as can be found in the whole range of crime,
and that man should be quite sane who
committed them almost surpasses belief
The only motive for killing the children
must have been to destroy evidence
against himself when he had murdered
the woman. In his autobiography DeeminG
has no doubt done his best to apologize for
himself, and he may possibly make out TO
his own satisfaction that he is a much
injured man, very badly judged by per-
yerted public. His name will live in some
shape without his literary effort. Some one
may coin it into verb, as was done with
