A POOR SHAD SEASON.

Special to the Jersey CITY Ne,es.
GLOUCESTER CITY, May %, 1s92.-The
management of the big seine fishery here
decided, Thursday. to cease operations for
the season, and that night the seine was
''cut out" The season has been an I'M
profitable one throughout, the scarcity of
shad rendering it imperative to stop fish-
ing or operate the seine with heavy losses.
The working of the seine requires from
forty to sixty men and two or three
horses, and with shad selling at a low
figure n poor catches, the fishery has
not been a big paying institution this
season.

Exercises Concluded by Most Gorgeous
Display Of Fireworks Ever Given.
CHICAGO, Oct 24--The dedicatory
exercises closed with the most brilliant
and gorgeous display OF fireworks ever
given In the world. To avoid the con-
centration of mass OF people this dis
play was divided into three parts and
given in as many parts of the worlds
fair city. A display was given at
Washington Park at the south, Lincoln
Park at the north, and Garfield Park at
the West Side. The largest crowd con-
gregated at Washington Park, which
was the most accessible to the heart of
the city, but it Is estimated that no less
than 100000 people saw each of the
other displays.
One Of the crowning features of tAs
marvellous display was the magnificent
Colum bian bouquet made by the fight
of 5000 rockets, 900 at the same mo-
ment from each of the three parks. This
10 the largest flight of rockets known in
the history of the world and its beauty
cannot be fully described in words.
For two minutes the effect was
seen in every part Of the
city and suburbs. The heavens
were turned into sea of fire in every
color of the rainbow and forming the
most gorgeous canopy that ever clothed
any city on either continent. The set
pieces were of a character that brought
out wealth of enthusiasm from the
great assemblages Upon these the
best pyrotechnical artists in the world
have been working for six months and
their efforts were rewarded in the mag
nificent display they made. The first OF
these occupied 1900 square feet of space
and bore the inscription, Chicago Well
comes the Nations of the Earth-1492-
1892, " supported by two American ca
giles, above which were brought out the
outlines of the various worlds fair build
ings. Then set piece with an area of
2,5O0 square feet represented the sailing
of Columbus from Palos and illustrating
his feet, the Pinta, Santa Maria and

the fire changed, and as it burned the
enthusiasm Of the onlookers was almost
wild. This was the largest set piece
ever burned in the history of fireworks.

had been difference of opinion In the
