An extraordinary incident is reported
from Castleconnell and Killaloe. Hun
dreds of trout were found floating dead
on the river. The matter has given rise
to various speculations as to the cause,
some persons holding that the trout were
poisoned in the upper reaches of
the river by lime or otherwise,
while others incline to the belief
that the heavy mortality among
the fish was due to the excessively warm
weather and the low water in the tribu-
taries. The Secretary to the Limerick
Board of Conservators, Horsford. has for
warded some of the fish to Sir Charles
Cameron for analysis.
The much-talked-of motor drive took
place on Sunday last. The original in
tention to run from Blackjack to Galway
was altered to from Blackjack to Kilbeg-
gan and back, distance of about 40
miles. This DIR. Colohan accomplished
inside of eleven hours, one hour less than
the time allowed, although nearly half
an hour was lost through taking a wrong
turn on the road. This must be con-
sidered very good performance, having
regard to the fact that a considerable
portion of the journey had to be done on
the slow speed belt, owing to the bad
condition of the road, especially from
Kinnegad to Kilbeggan.
