Quarter Cunning Club on the Gun
powder yesterday so many herr!ngs$
were surrounded that it was impossible
to land the seine. and 1t became neces-S
sary to lift its outer edge and let more
than half Of the fish out ofGthe net
When tho seine was finally landed Il t is
said that the catch amounted to nearly
two hundred boxes. One of the most
interesting sights attending the run Of
herring Is the rush of the fish up to-
ward the lleadwaters OF White Marsh
run, one Of the tributaries Of the Gun-S
powder River. The stream is very shal -s
low. and Is an ideal place for the fish
to deposit their spawn. At times the
run becomes SO great that the fish
choke up the narrow portions Of the
stream and form a dam At these
points tho residents for miles around
gather and with dip nets dip out the
fish in largo numbers. The run lasts
for nearly a week. during which time
1T is estimated that thousands Of her.
ring journey up the waterway and aft
ter deposlting their spawn journey
back to deep water again. The fish
caught by the residents are sailed

FISH DAM RIVERS.
Every Waterway North of the Pntnpsco
a


Alive with Herring.
One OF the greatest runs of l1erring
in Maryland waters in many years, ac-
cording to reports from various Sec
tions,, is now on. For week largo
schools Of tho fish have been moving
toward the headwaters Of the fresh
water streams in the upper part of the
bay, until every waterway north Of the
Patapsco Is fairly alive with the NOM
bers Of the flnny tribe. Fishermen are
catching herring by the thousands, and
the markets are becoming glutted with
the fish. In many sections farmers
have gone into the herring-catchinS
business. and arc using the results Of
their heavy catches for fertilizer pur-
poses, hauling the fish from the shore
directly to the fields. where they are
broadcasted and plowed under.

Gunpowder River and its tributaries
states that the run Of herring In that
locality is unprecedented. ',.Tim'' Mad

at the oars to stem the tide. According
