in his answer. it is said, made a fierce
tack on the republican party the par

most direct terms 1t is said that Governor
Roosevelt and the republican managers are
somewhat puzzled by the situation, as it is
charged they are more anxious to make
political capital out of the ice trust than to
have the governor do his plain duty by re-
moving the mayor from Office under the

BIacknsh Crushers.

81 have watched the blackfish feeding
en- shrimp and young rock crabs among
the stones of the cribwork of the old
pier that formerly stood at Hollands
Landing, Jamaica bay" says Henry
Brand in Rod and Gun. They ap-
proach their prey very slowly and
without showing any motion of theiI
fins and body. and after succeeding in
catching a shrimp they would not dart
away the same as other fish do after
securing food. but would remain still
for awhile and begin to chew and then
slowly swim away, looking for more.
"The blackfish is provided with a
pair of crushers situated in the back
part of its mouth and consisting of two
fiat groups of ball shaped teeth. be-
tween which they crush small crusta-
ceans and mussels before swallowing
them. The crushing apparatus of a
four pound blackfish is about as large
as a dime. The blackfish seemingly
uses its teeth for loosening mussels
from their fastenings and to draw
small crustaceans from their hiding
places. After the food is secured 1t is
passed to the crushers. When 1t takes
an anglers bait and passes 1t to the
crusher, a peculiar succession of bites
is felt by the fisherman. and many q
fine one is missed by the angler being
too hasty to hook It after the first indi
cation of fish taking the bait"
