WEISS BEER FOR A STARTER.

American form Of sport - trotting
matches-is becoming all the rage here.
Not as If trotting, l., e. the systematic
breeding Of the speedy trotter and
the stylish turnouts pittcd against
each other on a smooth roadbed,
were altogether a novelty here. In
the Thicrgarten and Inter den Lin
den, the admirer Of high bred
horseflesh and of neat and swift We
hicles has had something to see in that
line for many years past. and some
unique kinds of elegant vehicles. such
es tho English mail coach and the
duced sooner in Berlin than in New
York or Chicago. What mean is that
the American sport Of trotting, In the
full sense of the term, has but recent
ly been popularized here.
During the past spring. summer and
fall there were any number OF trot-
ting matches, In which. too. some
American horses and their owners OF
trainers participated, and betting has
run high on the turf. knclbs. the
American turtle, came to grief in this
way. and Hefner and Tappan. two
other Americans who wanted to show
the natives how trotting is managed
by the knowing ones. had to skip in
the nick of time, or they. too. would
have made the acquaintance OF the in
scrrtable states attorney in berlin.
But there were other owners OF Amer
lean trotters here. and several of them
pocketcd good-sized purses. Most Of
the trotting was done on the splendid
ly equipped and large Weissensce
tracks, just outside the banlieue OF
Berlin. and, to Judge from the caliber
Of the Quadruped material and from
the great throngs of fashionably at
tired people I saw on one OF these
occasions. It may be stated unquali-
fedly that trotting matches have
come to stay in Gcrmany-fnding as
they do great favor with both high
and low. OF course, .American-bred
trutters that have made 4 record in the
United States are admitted to these
| Berlin trotting matches only under
certain rcstrictions-as being too dan
gerous competitors-and even then it
was the owners Of q couple Of Amer
lean horses that raked in the larger
part of the stakes.
But that Is not what wanted to
write about really-it is but introduc-
tory to enable the reader to understand
the following better. As regular
component feature of the annual trot-
ting season has been organized here

Literary Sincerity.

The poet Bryant had keen vision and
a loving reverence for what he saw
about him. He was, in his art, true
American; not because other lands
were not also rich and beautiful, but
because he preferred to describe the
blossoms growing at his own door. IL
q letter to his brother, written in 1885,
he SAYS: II saw some lines by You tc
the skylark. Did you ever see such .
bird? Let me counsel you to draw
your images. in describing nature.
from what you observe around you.
unless You are professedly com posing
4 description of some foreign colntry.
when. OF course, you will learn what
you can from books. The s&ylark is
an English bird, and an American who
has never visited Europe has no right
to be in raptures with it." He had
true reverence for the past, and what
is to be learned from it; for the &C
cepted traditions Of literature he had
the veneration of all scholars Yet he
would not have permitted himself &c
harp away upon themes fresh in other
lands aud times, but quite foreign to
his own thought and feeling. To be
sincere-that was the best thing; bet

AN INTERESTING FISH.
The Fierce Bonita and Its Queer Actlou
In the Water.

The Fierce Bonita and Its queer Actlono
In the Water.
No more beautiful fish than the
Spanish mackerel swims the salt sea.
1t is true it lacks the mighty strength
and size CT Its only rival in southern
waters, the tarpon, but pound for
pound and inch for inch it is not one
whit less gamy and courageous. The
long-pointed head is set with a pair of
cleaning eyes that see for many rods
every moving thing beneath the sur
face of the sea Each jaw is armed
with scores Of tiny teeth keen as
razor and dazzlingly white. When the
mackeral are feeding, and shoals
of them break the water into
ripples, one can hear the snap
of those fierce jaws as they
close upon the hapless young mullet
of barracuda. 1t is a beautiful sight to
see the whole sea for hundreds of feet
grow dark as if ruff,ed by squall when
en- army of mackerel suddenly bursts
into sight. They are handsome and
graceful in form, with long dorsal and
lateral fins and broad fluked tail,
which give them the power to outswim
any fish of their size and weight. They
are as erratic as they are fierce. A
great school after feeding for hours in
one locality may all at once sink ont
Of sight, and not another may be
caught for hours or perhaps days An
enemy. unseen by fishermen. has
alarmed the sharp-eyed fellows, for the
sharks and dolphins are ever prowling
on their trail.
In the autumn days about everyone
who is big enough to hold a rod and
bait his hook is mackerel fishing on
the Florida Keys. The gulf of Mexico
is the real habitat of these fish. Oc-
casionally they drift northward in
scattered shoals. following the gulf
stream, and some are caught in the
warm months along the Atlantic coast
to the Canada line. Quarantine, on
the extreme south end of Mullet Key,
is center of the excitement in the gulf
now. Strings of mackerel that num-
Der in the hundreds are being made
every day when the weather is good.
Unlike most saltwater fishing. q
stormy day is better for this work than
| fair one.
"Take day when the clouds sink
down upon the sea. senor," says old
Pedro Menendez, the veteran Spanish
pilot and angler, between the gasps Of
his long black pipe. 'when the wind
from the southeast beats the waves till
they cry along the shoals. and the sea
birds hug the shore, then. senior, if you
will have the heart of . man and put
out beyond the Palmetto Keys in .
stout boat, you shalt kill and bring
home such harvest Of bonita rs your
northern eyes have never gszed upon
And true it is that On the widest
days that little stumpy boat Of his.
with its patched yellow sail and short
mast, can be seen thrashing out into
the gale. and that at night he brings
| in big catches. When the wind drives
dead On shore the best fishermen cast
against it from the piers and catch
many and big mackercl.
