the cornet sounds again. Half the fishers
mutter. They are only beginning to bite.
But the committees are waiting to decide
the prizes. The director of the aquarium
of the Trocadero is one another is the ar
chitec. Of the new bridge which is being
built for the exposition OF 1900.
The first prize goes to a mason, who
fishes only On Sundays though it is his
trade which Is condemned to Sunday labor
in this city, where the Sunday is for others
the welcome holiday. He wins the prize by
the number 81 his catch-twenty-four small
fish and one big carp. The next prize Is Ter
the heaviest single fish. 1t is slx-ounce
roach, which would go to show that the big
fishes of the Seine exist only in fishers
tales. The one who has taken this prize Is
bookkeeper. Then comes the chief prize
of the day-for the greatest weight OF fish
taken altogether. 1t goes to man from
the gas works for a dozen fish, making up
nearly two pounds in weight.
At last years match all the 200 fishermen
together did not take as much. But the
Partisan Association, while the depopula-
ton Of France is going on. has repeopled
the Seine: and on this Sunday the grand
total of fish taken weighs nineteen pounds.
The prizes of this first day are all useful
lines of prime quality. When the third
day comes, with its grand prize for the
final champion. it is a gild-edged book,
with an engraved diploma representing the
He tel de Vile and the different sites of the
river where the Partisan fishes and runi-
hates and looks at varied and beautiful
sights all the nvelODS Qay-dHu does uo
harm because he does nothing at all.
The Champion.
The champion is not Partisan, nor even
a fisher of the Seine. He comes from down
toward Fontanebleau, where there is
river in which he fishes for pike and trout.
He already has three medals won in the
