Because OF the new deal affecting
the succession to the ONCE of grand

most interesting features of the annual

The shark fishing season is on here
now and furnishes quite a pastime for
those addicted to such dangerous
sports. The sharks seem to be bolder
than usual. very large ones coming
into the bay, while generally they
keep out toward the entrance.
Yesterday quite a large one was
caught from one of the piers. 1t
measured over two meters In length
and caused quite an exciting battle
before the fishermen got the second
harpoon into It. This morning an.
other much larger one was caught by
some fishermen In boat II was only
subdued after hard struggle and
finally towed alongside the sea wall
and hoisted out with a derrick. The
animal was near three meters long
and was still alive after being hoisted
out onto the dock and II slashed
around at lively rate. causing the
crowd that had gathered to see II to
scatter in all directions to avoid It's
enormous tail, After being killed the
animals liver was removed and Il
measured more than three feet In
length. This furnishes very fine
