For some years there has been an effort
among local fishermen looking towards
the stocking Of Duck Pond with trout or
salmon, rero both. Good-sized red-spots,
Weighing, fromitEe to three pounds, are
occasionally, caught in the lake, generally
through the ice in the winter, and it is
asserted blythe fishermen that the con-
naturally favorable for the propagation of
| trout if it could be started and encouraged
by artificial means.
The fish commissioners have been
frequently petitioned to stock the lake
with trout, j, but without any result as yet.
Now a new movement has started among
local fishermen. "a The idea is to petition
the Legislature TO enact law making it
/ elose4time for 9tne1t or salmon fishing on
the lakeaor its'ssreams, for period of five
years pgsIfSthis petition is granted the
idea is to- then petition the fish commits

lM Among sthes0P Portland men who are
pushing this matter are Frank Hanson,
James MARTINI George Hawkes., Charles
A. Ronndss EsiWiiliam Morse, Frank
Lowell, Caleb Newcomb, T. B. Davis,
George E. MacgoWan and John Massure.

+ LAS it Happened, a member of the
PRESS staff met Commissioner Stanley
on the train from Dixfield, Monday
morning, and had talk with him about
Duck Pond Mr.. Stanley said that he
had visited the pond many times and had
fshed there as much as twenty years ago.
He said that he hadn't much faith in the
pond as suitable for the natural propa-
cation Of trout, but he admitted that he
might be. mistaken. He was afraid that
the STREAMS We're not large enough or in
other ways suitable as breeding places for
| the fish.
| There are SO many ponds and lakes in
the state that are naturally suitable, that
it is hardly worth while to put fish into a
pond that will not naturally propagate
them, And that must be replenished every
Pyear.a "s-Ao44
| However, he might be mistaken in re-
gard to Duck Pond, and had though
seriously of putting some salmon fry into
the pond next fall, if there are enough of
the fry at that time available.

Martha Well Sung Last Night.

The success of the week. so far. was
attained by the Andrews Opera Company
last night. when Martha" with its
superb color and exquisite melodic
episodes, was sung in a manner that was
really creditable and very pleasing. The
opera was suffered TO drag considerably.
through the first two acts, but the per-
Torrance gathered both force and fasci-
nation as it progressed, and the last
three acts were a decided improvement
on anything this company has done here
tofore. The soprano part is a tremendous
favorite with the public, and was played
last night with grace and CHARM II with
an unwonted amount of diffidence, by
Myra Morella, who was rather disap-
pointment vocally, frequently singing on
the key.
The success of the evening was attained
by Jay Taylor, who sang delightfully."- as
Lionel, and fully atoned for his lack OF
dramatic ability. The other characters
were acceptably filled.
The Pretty Persian will be given at
the matinee to-day. and tonight Iolanthe
viii be sung.
