and as it was done the preserves OF the South
Side Club on Long Island. the result was never
in doubt. He made two hauls and took up more
than fifty trout. The way In which he brought
his catch to the city illustrates the manner in
which the fish transported to their destination
without injury. They were put into oval cans
two or three feet long and couple OF feet high.
These cans are provided with shoulders to prevent
the water from flying the sides from the
motion Of the train and express wagons The
cans were filed two-thirds full OF water so that
they were heavy load for those who put them
aboard the train One would imagine that water

Now, I have aunt who l know was born

London to the supreme post of Archbishop OF
