DR.. Miller Catches Shark.

II" r Miller one of Wild woods

of fourteen friends, started after their
game in the yacht Rupert, handled by
capt. Mathews. There was much
joking and laughter on board at the
doctors expense, but he was in earnest.

fore sundoWn. The line was heaved
overheard, baited with two large black
bass, and in Il few moments the doctor
had a nibble-not these kind that Cape
May goodies put up but a genuine nib

feet. The next swallow took hook and
all, and then there was fun, the line I'M
coiled of the deck at the rate of ten
miles a minute. When Mr.. Shark
cooled down twelve of the men took IA
hand at the rope and made things i'll

was finally landed, but he took com

struggles. He was exactly nine feet in
length and weighed over 400 pounds.
DR.. Miller is sc pleased over his success
that he intends trying it again, as COM

The shark is now on exhibition at the
Casino pier, where daily large crowds
