of Superintendent Powell.
Rev. Alexander Kent openei the exercises

Young ladies and songs by the class, varied

Destruction of Fish in the Potomac
RiNer.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
l would request permission to call at
tent!on, through your valuable columns to
a subject upon which the public is but
very little posted, but one which should
be of interest TO every one. 1t is nothing
less than the cause Of the great scarcity
of fish in the Potomac river during the
past few years. If an ordinary observer
who feels enough interest in the subject
would take a trip by daylight down the
Potomac, with his eyes open, he would
not be long in understanding the sole and
only cause Of this great and growing evil
From the end of the District lire to the
mouth of the Potomac, and, in fact all
the way down Chesapeake bay. there are
thousands OF trap nets continually streto h.
ed from either shore to the channel banks,
and the only wonder to one who under
stands what this means is that a single
fish is luck enough run the gauntlet
through to Washington. Fish always feed
near the shore on flood tide, and when they
run against the hedging of the trap net
they immedia tely swim for deep water,
bat usually run into the trap at the end
of the hedging. As the meshes of the hedg-
ing and traps are generally three-quarters
OF an inch and never over an inch. the
traps not only catch fish fit for food but
also millions of young fish, which are
never thrown back into the water, but
invariably die and rot As far shad
and herring are concerned, it seems al
most Impossible to eNtngulSh them. They
only appear in our waters in the spring
of the year to spawn, and they do not come
until fun grown; but the fish that the trap
nets do destroy are trout or weak fish and
tailors or blue fish in the lower Potomac
and Chesapeake bay. and perch and rock
fish in the bay and Potomac up to Wash
tLgton. These fish are all rapidly disap-
pCaring from our waters, any one who
knows anything about the matter can
readily testify. Most of these fish stay
in OUR waters from the beginning of spring
till the end of the following fall, and, as
the traps are in continuous operation dur
ing this entire period, the eNtirction of
| these valuable fish in vicinity is only
question of lite time. What few
| fish the dippers catch in the vicinity OF
| the Chain bridge amount to nothing. They
seldom catch anything but shad and her
ring, which are always fun grown. The
only thing TO he done in the matter of
preventing the destruction of the fish above
named and their total extinction Is for the
states of Maryland and Virginia to join
together in q determined effort TO abolish
| the use of trap nets in the Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries Until this is done
! the number of fish in the Potomac will
continue to decrease. S. b. C.
