James Donahue, captain Of the Mattatucx Rod and Gun club, was out Wednes- day and broke his rod trying to land the biggest trout he ever saw. He will not say where he met with this thrilling experience. Joseph Rubens- ski, barber on North square, reports having caught the largest number of trout so far.
