Carp Caught by the Hundred.

People who had occasion 20 travel

Creek on recent afternoon were
treated to n novel sight. Hundreds OF
men and boys armed with baskets
were hounderlng around In the shall
low waters OF the creek among a
school OF German carp. Hundreds OF
these FISH were caught with baskets OF
all shapes and sizes. Some Of the
fish weighed tipped the scales at Ave
pounds. Some OF the boys put on
bathing suits. and Il was well they
did Occasionally one OF them would
get hold OF a fish that was more cap
able OF managing the angler than be-
ing managed. and the result OF the
encounter was a bath for the enthusl-
astic boy.
More than one half OF the popula-
tion OF the Lower Rock lined the
banks OF the creek and took as much
pleasure out of the performances as
the youngsters did In catching the
Ash. II Is supposed the filling in OF
the creek at this point has driven the
fish into smaller radius, and In their
