 THE FISHING.
 MT. Malley might justly be termed the lzaak Walton of Connecticut for it would indeed he hard to find a. more ardent or skilled lover of the sport or follower of the rod and reel than he; for he has fished in many lands and caught almost everything in the pisca- torial line to be found in the waters of the United States, with the exception, perhaps, of the sea serpent and the whale. His opinions on anything rela- tive to fishing are certainly to be look ed upon as coming from one speaking with authority. In all his fishing ex- periences he has met nothing that in any way approaches the Ouananichel for genuine sport. In the first place. the difficulties that have to be over come in order to reach the fishing grounds lend charm and excitement that can be had from no other kind of | fishing.
 | Kit Clarke says: "Two or three American lakes, to which this piebald champion has been transplanted, know him as the land-locked salmon but in Lake St. John alone does he display his amazing and obstinate strength. his l marvellous finesse, his tempestuous somersaults and his tremendous fishing qualities. Weight for weight, he is immeasurably the grandest game that l has yet fallen to the fisherman's lure.
 Tn general outline, the Ouananche is far more graceful fish than the sal mon, and in delicacy and in flavor of flesh is infinitely more palatable than either salmon or trout. As a game fish, affording stimulating sport and fo- menting excitement in it's capture, he is absolutely sovereign of the watery kingdom. The sportsman, whose hook the first time impales the fish, will be dumbfoundcd at the tremendous leaps and fiery struggles of his heroic antag- onlst His vigorous contentious are astounding, while at every leap into the air he turns a complete somersault, all the while shaking his head with the fierceness of ar enraged tiger.
 These terrific leaps are so continu- ous that one seems to be fighting the fish in the air as much as in the wa ter"
 On reaching the fishing ground the first day MT. Malley took one side of 8 pool and MT. White the other. Now, fl there is one thing above another that MT. Malley can generally boast of or returning from fishing expedition it is that he was able to land the first fisf and the biggest one. But for once ht was disappointede; for although MT White was only comparative novice at the game, he managed to hook sev, eral before MT. Malley even got bite The latter, however, came out on tol by having the largest basketful of thu Iarty, twenty-six in all being caugh by him, weighing from one and hal polnds to ten pounds each.
 The trout fishing, MT Malley said was also excellent; in fact, so fast diC they catch the speckled beauties on' day that they had to stop for shame sake.
 Pike are also numerous, and on on, of the days they witnessed a young In dian boy of not more than fifteen year of age hook pike that weighed twen ty-six pounds, and was actually longe than the boy. The lad was unable t land it while alive, but stubhornly hel, on until it had drowned itself and thel had it pulled ashore.
 A four days campingout trip wa
 one of the features during their sta,
 at the lake. They went in boats an
 were accompanied by guides Fron this trip they netted some three hun
 dred fish in all and during their sta,
 they lived on what they caught an
 cooked them over the camp fires. O.
 the last day of the trip a sort of com
 petition took place, although the sam was not prearranged, Mr Malley talk : ing on to catch and land fish as fast a
 MT. White could clean them, and s
 quick did he hook them that MT Whit had to hustle as he never hustled be fore in order to keep up with him. MI Mal1ey is also responsible for the state
 ment that although MT. White was novice at the beginning of the trip Il , is now as good a fisherman as he is caterer.
 Another incident that MT. Malley tell with great glee is that he was made t , shoot the rapids a second time, not
 withstanding the fact that he had mad
 up his mind, on getting safely throug , them the first time, that once was quit | enough. It seems that he was so oc f cupied with his art one day that the got quite near the rapids without MI
 Malley being conscious of that fac , and before he knew where he was the were orce more rushing through tn
 seething foam. The deal was arrange
 by MT. White with the guide of tn
 boat MT. Malley and MT. White are great
 ly indebted to MT. Timothy Kenna, tn manager of the Hotel Roberval, for tn courteous and obliging manner wit which he catered to the comforts of tn whole party. The climate, both gentle men said, was excellent. During tn hot spell we had here the weather ther
 was just what they might term com fortable The trip was greatly enjoye : by all, and they have returned to tn t city benefited very much in bot
 health and spirits.
