THE TROU1ING SEASON.

The Law Went or Yesterday and the
 SpOrtsmen Went for the TrOut-TwO New
 Haven Citizens Have Good Luck Trout
 in Fulton Market.
 As the close season for trout in this
 state ended at 12 o'clock midnight Sun
 day night many of the streams and
 brooks In this part of the state were wis
 tied by enterprising piscatorial artists
 yesterday,
 As to the prospects for good sport
 opinions differ. Some experts claim l that the baokwardness of the spring and the continued severity of the weather have been very injurious to the trout; while others, whose opinions, | by the way, are as a rule worthy of consideration, predict the best seasons sport that has been afforded the fisher men for several years.
 At any rate two of our skilled piscato- rial artists had, fine success yesterday morning. They were Messrs. Ewen Me Intyre, the dry goods merchant, and Captain Gessner of Apothecaries' hall. They seemed to know where the trout grew and how to beguile them into talk ing the bait. They got back to the city before o'clock p. m., and had forty seven handsome trout as the result of their days outing. MT, Mcintyre was asked where they caught the fish, His reply was up yonder," which indefinite and ambiguous information was all that was forthcoming, MT. Mcintyre and his colleague in the days trip both looked as If the days outing and their success had been very pleasant pastime and had driven dull care away for the nonce effectually.
 Up Ansonia way Captain McManus, David Roach, James F, Torrance and Walter Torrance will form party of fishermen who will start in pursuit of trout Thursday.
 A New York dispatch last evening says; The trout season began this morning. When the clock struck the midnight hour fishermen began casting in the Long Island streams. Some of them may have commenced after church yesterday" said MT. Eugene Blackford, this morning, as he pointed out the trout piled on his counters, and swimming in the tanks at Fulton mark ct.
 We can't swear that every trout there was caught since midnight" he said, but we suppose such to be the case, because we did not receive them until this morning, and it fs well known that fishermen always tell the truth Every train brings in it's shipment from Islip, Patchogue, Oakdale, L. T.: Brook Haven, the Old Colony Points at Providence, R, l., and here Is a nine pounder from Caledonia Creek, near Rochester, the champion so far, re- ceived alive and swimming"
 Trout of any kind shall not be fished for, caught, killed or possessed between | the first day of September and the first | day of April" says the new statute of | 1894, making the season fifteen weeks | earlier than formerly. An exception, | however, is made of the Forest Pre- | which includes Lake George, the counties of St. Lawrence, Frank lin, Fulton, Clinton, Essex, Warren, | Herkimer and Saratoga, where the sea- son does not begin until April 15.
 In the market this morning were dead trout from Canada at fifty cents a pound. The live ones, mostly from the Long Island streams, the Bronx the Pasanito, the Duchess county | creeks, bring s1.5O a pound.
 The Canadian and Nova Scotia trout are as good when fresh caught, but the they are brought reduces the price.
 In the Fulton Market exhibit this, were hybrids and brown trout from the Old Colony ponds at Provi- dence. These average heavier than the Long Island specimens, and most of them are there merely on exhibition Five hundred fry play the juvenile parts of "a month oldy in this same Fulton Market show, while there are piles of eggs from which trout eyes stare eager to break into the recess of some cool stream.
 The average trout in the market this weighed from half pound to TWO pounds.
 A crowd surrounded the exhibit this morning, market people, buyers from he big Kitchens and lovers of fishing
