WEAKFISH IN THE BAY.
Anglers Are Delighted nscause Their sport
Hns BcEu1 In Earnest.

The fshermen's fun has begun. for their
favorito game. the weakfsh, have arrived in
Raritan Bay. Several enthusiastic anglers
were fishing at the mouth of the Great Kills OF
Staten Island on Sunday and Monday, and
although luck favored only n few, the catches
were large enough to raise the hopes OF all.
Shrimp were the favorite bait. but some good
sized fish were taken with crabs.
The rod and reel men are praying for warm
weather, and rs they are tolerably certain tuse
now that their prayers will be heard, they have
high hopes OF heavy hauls in the very near fu-
ture. The spring tides are running now. and
they make fishing In the neighborhood OF Sandy
Hook rather difficult, on account Of the swift
currents. In a few days a slice will be cut off
the moon, and the tide will resume its ordinary
gait. The learned in lines and hooks are divided
In their Judgment In regard to a spring tide. Some
contend that when the moon is full, or nearly
full, fishing is always good, especially near the
shore, Others insist, that full moons and high
tides bring poor fishing. But none OF them,
after all, appear, to place much confidence in
his prediction. They all fish In all stages OF
the tide. and never run short Of reasons Tor tho
presence, or the absence of their game. At ali

LAST OF THE MAIL coAoH GUARDS.
OLD Nobbs Blew the Horn on the Exeter Coach
for FIFTY Years.

The last Of the old English mail coach guards,
Moses James hobbs, has just died. His remin-
isccnces ought to prove interesting. He became
a Post Office guard somewhere in the thirties. and
when he retired, five or six years ago. was be-
licved to be the only remaining one of the forty
who were securing the country when he entered
the service. At the end OF his Post Office career
hobbs was at Paddington Station. and his duty
was to get Off the mails for the west Of England.
1t was very amusing to hear the old man re-
call his earliest recollections OF the Introduction
of rsilwr Us. He Was asked IL the coach guards
were not in a great fright about them when rail
ways first came up.

licved they'd come to anything. We used to
laugh ut en-. and we all believed that our
coaches d run EN- down"
Ho would tell proudly of the great achieve
mcnt OF the early part OF his career when he
took his mails from London to Exeter. a distance
average OF nearly eleven miles an hour all the
way through. The old mans services ran back
some years before the Introduction Of the penny
post, and he remembered very wei. tho days
when all the, letters going out OF London for
Exeter, and all the, places on the road would go
in the hind boot OF his coach. and three or four
bags on the top. He used to say that he had
many n time set out with only 200 or 800 pounds
of letters, and he lived to start out the London
1t was the railways that made tho penny post
possible, Nobbs used to say, and fifty times tho
old coach service OF which, he used to be so
work. hobbs had all sorts of curious adven-
lures, He would recall tho bitter nights when
he had to pass over Plinlimmon In tenipests so
terrible that they used to open the coach doors
to lessen the pressure, and so prevent the vehicle
from being blown clear over. He was often

always successful In soaring them off.
