III part OF Oaplaln 1narleS II. ALkluss zap ]
tain James Conwell Captain Frank Lacey /
and the Rev. Jesse B. Taylor, went to
Lewes on Monday evening of last week {
for some sport. After enjoying a night
of rest preparatory to day of unusual
excitement, they arose early on Tuesday
morning and prepared for The outing.
Through the courtesy of Prof. Eugene
Manning, who furnished them with bait
and fishing tackle, they were taken on
board of his yacht and transported to the
fishing ground. After the usual manip- /
ulations they began their work, and with
good success; for in about ninety min |
utes they caught one hundred fine trout |
On returning to the ashore, it is said. the
wind was so light that the minister be-
came sick, and the yacht was taken in
tow by passing launch. A part of that
days work is unwritten history, and will
most likely remain 50 as the gentlemen
who composed the party are noted for
their astuteness, and will not be likely to
tell of any more of their exploits than
they desire. The major part of the fish
were brought to Milton, and as the trip
was for pleasure, and not for profit, they
were distributed with compliments
among their many friends. As the club
met with such good luck on this occa-
sion, it is reasonable to suppose it will
again visit the fishing ground before the
season is ended.
Mr. Nehemiah Wilson of near the
Sand Hills, brought load of watermel-
ons to town last week While on Union
street. North, the horses became fright
l ened and started in a run. After cross
ing the bridge, the headboard of the
wagon dropped out and the team running
upon the pavement of Mrs. Mary Fox
: threw Mr.. Wilson out of the wagon upon
the sidewalk. At this juncture one Of
the horses fell and this brought the other
r to halt. The team was taken in charge
: by the crowd that had assembled, and
save a few scratches, Mr.. Wilson escaped
J without injury.
