There is good fishing in Central Park. Tho

who was fishing there the other night met
with so much success. II the fish had not been
hungry he could hardly have caught two
pounds in twenty minutes. With a small hook
attached to four feet of line he drew the perch
out almost rs fast as he could pull In the line,
and this. too. right under the eyes OF the police.
