SET BACK TO FISHERMEN.


All on Account ofthe Bad weather-some
Have Not Caught Enough Fish to Feed
On.
HAvRE DE GRACE, April 1.-THE con-
olusion most generally arrived at in
March was that there would be an early
spring, and considerable energy was put
forth by all interested in fishing TO be
ready in time. The consequence was all
of the seine baulers were ready by April
l, but the recent bad weather caused a
great setback Many men have been
employed since April /, while fsn enough
to feed them on have not in most cases
been caught OF course only occasional
hauls have been made for the purpose of
finding out il the run was on.
The fishing season usually opens hero
about April and closes about May 10
Last season the run Of fish was on by
April 8, and by the 10th upward Of
10000 barrels of herring were in salt
Should the present good weather con-
tinue fish may possibly arrive in paying
quantities by the last of the present
week, but the season will be- short and
the pack very much lighter than il was
In 1898 The total pack last yeac aggre-
gated about 30, coo barrels of herring This
result was accomplished only by constant
use Of the entire striking capacity of the
different fisheries. Not only have the
seine-haulers been disappointed, but
many gillers who 90 down the bay to
meet the run Of shad every spring were
hurried of as early as March 10, taking
mp their quarters in some one Of the
different creeks between Havre de Grace
and Poola's Island, expecting fish early,
but only to meet disappointment. They
have not caught in a month over $2j
worth on the average TO the boat.
