j. w. Titcomb OF Rutland, chairman Of
the State fish commission, was III the city
Saturday in consultation with n number OF
the leading sportsmen. He also appointed
two hsh wardens, who were recommended
by them and whose names are Withheld, be-
cause it is believed to bs for the best inter-
ests of the fish and game laws to allow tho
wardens TO do as much quiet work as Io,si-
bic. In this way the sportsmen ana author
tiles hope that the officers wil be enabled to
arrest some of the persistent dynamite and
out-of- the season fisherman and make an
example of them before every body knows
who the fish wardens nrs. The Burlington
Rod and Gun club will cooperate with the
officers in enforcing the law.

SMELT FISHING.


VI I'm Inauguration.
A New York LADY, who had Just aighted
from u ,rain The other day, remarked to her
husband, "Why, what are all those little
houses cut there on the ice - Those are
fishing shantlesn was the reply "Now
that is quite romantic, isn't it," said She
''you can fairly imagine that they are
little Indian village" According to the
opinion Of the FREE PRESS reporter, who
tried smelt fishing the 0Chcr day, it is for
tunate for the lady in question that sine did
not persue her investigation further unless
she possessed very strongi Imagination.
There are plenty Of the occupants Of the
shanties who would DO perfectly willing to
allow visitors chance to try their Eand
at hauling in tho fish, The reporter was
cordially welcomed, give d line and told to
keep the hook IN constant motion in order
to call the fish. For bait the eyes of fresh
ly- caught smelt are used 10 Il Q other Of
the hnny tribe and the process Of securing
them is not par oicuIarly pleasant. Then,
dropping the hook into small hole about
or 10 inches across, the smelt fisherman is
called upon 10 keep up the vascllating mo-
ton OF ono hand rs above mentioned, and
occasionally to cast an eye or two down
through the hole to sea whether there is any
prospect of Il bite. For it must be under
stood that unless the guardian Of the line is
an old hand at it he would hardly know
whether the fish was on the hook or lust
medtating about it. Thsn when the time
comes to haul in The victim, it can be com
perad to nothing else than pulling up q some
what heuv or slnker than was attached to
the line when it Was first baited. Once
landed in tho pan or other receptacle pre-
parel for him, the sme!t exhibits consider
able life With the above outlined facts
and the additional ons that from quarter
to II half hour is often consumed waiting
for bite, the reader is left to form his own
conclusions about smelt fishing.

GAMES IN OTHER CITIES,

Cleveland alone figured in yesterdays game
at Philadelphia and ''cinched" its hold by max
ing four runs in the sixth inning, three Of which
were earned. The Phillies could not hit Cuppy
when hits were needed. A catch of live hit
from Clements bat. which was apparently good
for two bases, by O'Connor in the sixth was a
feature. Delahanty started from second base
and O'Connor felded the ball promptly to Nc
kean and completed a double play. Attend
ance, 2.265. Score, 7to1.
Thirty-one hits with total of forty-si1 bases
was the result Of yesterdays Baltimore-Louis-
hitting in the third and ninth innings. Louis
vile hit Mcmahon hard, but he kept them scat
tered. Score, Is TO 8.
Chicago punched its hits and, aided by
Bostons errors, won yesterday. Hutchinson
was hit hard at first, but was effective later
Dahlen's batting and Caravans fielding we're
the features. Kelly was off in his throwing.
Score, 6 to 8.
The New Yorks won a slow game from st.
Louis yesterday afternoon. The Browns were
not in the game at any stage of the proceedings.
The New Yorks batted hard and felded per-
fectly, while Crane kept the hits well scattered.
Score, 8 to l.
The Cincinnati club pu. up a fine game of
ball yesterday at Eastern Park. The Brooklyns
had but three errors and the really brilliant
work was done by the home team. Their field
ing at critical points was superb, and in the
last three innings the Cincinnati club had to
retire with men on bases. Shortstop Corcoran
felded his position in great style, making fine
stops and pretty throws. Four Of the home
teams six runs were sent home by Corcoran's
singles. Score, 6 to 8.
