sightseers yesterday and hundreds of
couples from Providence clad in glad
Easter raiment were in evidence along
the Pawtuxet river at "Rhodes's" and

both sides were lined with people all the

the busy scene where the big feet of
yachts Is anchored off Capt. Alonzo Gran

Much attraction was also found In
watching the efforts of Robert Byrne 10

The fish have been seen forcing their way
up through the swiftly flowing water and

the holes In the rock with his big net.

keeping his footing the first buckle" Is
yet TO be caught.

Mr.. Charles n. Fuller of Pawtucket, re-
turned from a winter trip I'm the south
