A BIG RUN OF SHAD.
A "MirarulOus DrauEht of Fishes"
From the Delaware.

Bridgeport. y. j.. April 25--There was
a tremendous run of shad early yesterday
morning. and the largest catches ever
known around here were made. The law
does not allow the casting of nets until
after midnight. and the report that there
were evidences of big run brought out
everybody who owned any fishing para
phernalia. When the big nets were hauled
in they contained from 100 to BOG of the
finest shad ever seen. Small nets in the
creek caught 80 and 40. and even many
fished with scoop nets.
Several young persons were rowing in
the creek at low water, when they noticed,
as they neared the mouth, heavy ripples.
and soon learned that large schools of shad
were coming up. In fact. ii was with diff
Guilty that the boats plowed through. The
river fishing was also heavy, the fish be-
ing large, some weighing six, seven and
eight pounds. but the price soon took a
drop to SO per 100. IL the run continues
heavy the price will go still lower. The
oldest fishermen claim they never saw the
like.
