INVADED By TARPON.
Big schools Descend Upon the western
Gulf Coast and spoil the Fishing.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. lo.-The western
Gulf coast has been visited this summer
by schools OF tarpon, hundredfold bigger
than any ever known before. At Pass
Christian, Gulfport and Galveston the sea
has been 40 flied with them as 10 shine like
silver, and they have made waves and
eddies like a whirlpool.
They have gone into the shallow waters
OF Mississippi Sound and the various bays
opening on the Gulf In search of mulet,
but why they should be so abundant this
year II il difficult 10 say. Perhaps they
have found the region n better feeding
ground than the Florida coast, or perhaps
they have scared nway or eaten up the
Florida fishes. Whatever the cause they
descended on the coast a month or six
weeks ago and made great changes In
the fishing.
Tho first evidence Of their coming was

II is estimated roughly that between 600
and 1000 members Of the canine colony In
New York have left town this summer to
spend their vacations In the country. These
figures have been obtained from the en-
ployees Of the various railroads that do the

tive estimate. Thus, the baggage-master
AZ the Grand Central Station, whose delicacy
and diplomacy have won for him the post
OF chief dog checker. is willing to bet that
he has handled one million dogs day since
the hot weather set In.
OF course. his estimate Is exaggerated.
His opinions arc no longer those OF a man
with mind perfectly unbiased. An over
dose Of dog, like an overdose Of anything
else. has brought about the inevitable
result. he has become embittered and his
vicws distorted.
