Two German carp weighing respect
lively, fourteen and seventeen pounds
were caught by Justice Lowery, the vet
eran fisherman, at Benefits Pier, on
Tuesday. They were sent by Mr.. Low
cry, one each to the National and Cen
trail hotels. This is something very uu-
usual. German Carp are fresh water
fish aud how they should have strayed
into the salt Delaware Bay is a mystery
to us. Benefits Pier is fully five miles
south of the nearest fresh water stream
emptying into the bay. 1t is very rare
that fish of this species grow to such
enormous size. Can it be that they go
from fresh to salt water when reaching a
certain age? Who knows and who can
tell us more of the habits of this fish?
