ANOTHER BIG CATCH.
Two Colorado Men Take Some Big
Rainbows to Denver.

Last evenings Denver Times CON
tains ,Jhe following. The account Is all
right, except the statement that the
catch was made in Colorado. The best
fishing in the Platte river Is within the
sac of Wyoming. The Times says:
One Of the finest catches OF rainbow
.lcut ever brought into Denver, and by
far the best display here this year Is on
exhibition at H. NJ. Bostwick's sporting
goods sore. 1t consists OF twenty beau
tiful specimens of the fnny Tribe which
iou.ishes in Co!orado's streams, the to-
tai weight Of which is something over
100 pounds. The smallest is far from
being small, since its weight Is three
ard a half pounds, while the largest
tips the scales at seven and t~hree-quar-
tiers POUNDS. C. N. Whitman and A. B.
Daniels, both Of this city, are the proud
captors CT the monster trout.
A week ago Daniels and Whitman
went out for an outing, choosing the
North Platte river as the scene Of their
maneuvers with the rod and reel. They
fished from North park, Colorado, into
Wyoming, following the stream down,
and caught more flsh than they care to
tell OF. The monsters that were brought
back. however, all were caught last
Sunday and Monday, along with many
others, which the anglers considered
too small to be brought into town. A
peculiar fact in connection with the
catch" is that every Dish was hooked
on a fly and landed with q light rod. It
Is an unusual thing for trout Of the size
caught by Whitman and Daniels to rise
to flies, the use Of E1innows being
necessary to arouse their interest.
Those two flshermen, however. hap
pened to strike the river It the proper
time, for they had no trouble In coax
ing the big fellows to the surface end In
enticing them to sample the hies. Orvh
Ccachman No. 6 and Professor No. 8
were the flies with which The giants
were landed, those brands proving most
popular with the r41nbow&.
The North Platte is rapidly Rinin1

trout stream IN the country, snA AsAer-
men are beginning to realize taAt No

WITH e
Notes of the Regiment Found in q
Florida Paper.

The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union
and Citizen devCtes several columns
each day to the volunteer troops sta
toned in that vicinity. The issue OF
August 9th contains the following notes
about the Torrey regiment:
Torrey's rough riders occupied the
.arge parade ground CT the Second Mis-.
sissippi on Wednesday afternoon
through the courtesy Of Colonel Mont
gCmery.
Colonel Torrey was a visitor to his
regiment at Panama yesterday. He
was most cordially welcomed by the
riders from the Rockies, which Is the
name given to the regiment by General
Burt.
Torrey's rough riders were paid OF
yesterday, and but few Of the men
wended their way towards town.
They seem to like the quiet of the
woods, and come to the city only when
they have special business here.
Three hundred and twenty horses
have been received for the Second cav
airy. The horses arrived last Thurs
day night from Cheyenne, Wyo. The
cavalry was also increased in numbers
by the arrival of twenty-five men for
The troops, and also two recruits who
arrived in charge of Sergeant White.
There was sorrow in the camp Of the
rough riders last Thursday, when the
eagle Uncle Sam" mascot of Troop C,
died. The beak. feathers and Claws OF
the bird were saved, as souvenirs of the
mascot. and Of the days in camp at
Panama park.
The transfer Of Lieutenant H. ].
Brees has called for several promo
tons in Troop C, Second cavalry. Sec
ond Lieutenant NJ. X. Knadler has been
promoted to first lieutenant, and Ser
geant Abrams is now second lieutenant.
When Lieutenant Brees left, there was
much regret, but the boys let his de-
parture take a festive turn, and to
remember the occasion they went over
to the stand on the Panama park road,
kept by Mrs. Lou Brannan, and cele-
brated by Setting up" the drinks q
lemonade and milk-shakes in western
style. Even Missouri the big shaggy
dog and mascot of Troop C, was not
forgotten. and received a big pan OF
fresh milk for his share in the festfv-
lilies. and there was not a drop left
when Missouri" stopped.
