STRIPED BASS NOW BITING.
Farewell Convention, Of weaknsh-surprises
in Staten Island Ponds.

Many squads Of fishermen are now casting
into the g # and catching striped bass at New
Dorp and all along that wild stretch OF the
beach that comes abruptly 10 an end at Cooks
Point, better known as Jimmy Astin's Point,
opposite the Great Kills Of Staten Island. For
many this IL one Of the sad signs Of the ap-
proach Of winter. The weakfsh, like the
swallows. are holding conventions to form
tho lines Of travel to the South and avoid the
pound nets and lucky Is the angler who hap
pen. to cast his line into the centre OF one Of
those conventions The less fortunate can
console themselves with thoughts OF trolling
for bass for n few weeks only, after which
they must put way their rods and. when the
ducks are absent. they can tell fish stories
around the log fires Of their fsvorits Resorts
The striped bass In these waters Ia held in
the highest esteem among anglers For them
he Ia an aristocrat with mighty big fellows
in his family. But during the past few years
As hing for him hereabouts has been tedious
and tiresome. 40 much so that many anglers
babe him farewell. Now, however, Judging

Dut frogs ana ROlOIlsns Bul inns - a serious
mistake Some twenty years ago there lived
near the South Beach a man named ,Endicott,
He was an enthusiastic angler and a great
hunter, He was in some way connected with
the Fish Commission. At all events he repeat
eddy procured a supply Of young black bass
and German carp, with which he stoke the
ponds Of the island for miles around. The carp
hourished rapidly and in time grew to a great
size. In that pond Of erevsOme reputation
known as Brsdy's Lake, nj Crassmere. carp
have been captured weighing eighteen pounds.
Black bnss are also PLENTIFUL In IL Inthe smaller
ponds in the woods, fed by the water courses,
the bass hsvethrived wonderfully The Italian
colony with Its city friends furnishes the greatest
number Of fresh water fishermen on Staten

played Is not always charming IL Consists Of

courts and the troops are being unIaw-
fully used at Nome in the interest Of

are being deprived Of their property by
the most unjust arbitrary power. These
statements are confirmed by persons
who have returned from the far north,
and letters from reliable citizens Of this
vicinity. Such Outrages are but one
form Of militarism, and the people at
