ALEWIVES PREY FOR PERCH.
Salt Water Fish in Harbor, First
Time in MANY Years.

For the first time in the recollection of
the oldest fish dealers in the wholesale
market at the 11th street wharf. alewives,
the little fish that have been so numer-
Gus in the Potomac this year, have made
their appearance in the harbOr here. and
yesterday a number of large schools
of them We're to be seen moving about In
the water trying to dodge the numerous
hungry perch that We're endeavoring to
make meal of them. large perch
would fling itself half out of the water
and would jump into school OF them,
and before they could get away would
grab mouthful of the wee fellows.
The continued dry spell is said to be
the cause of the alewives being in the
harbor. They are a salt water fish and
the fact that the water of the Potomac
is brackish to within few miles of this
city has brought the fish here. The ale
wife, it is stated will attain a size Of
from six to eight inches, but those in the
harbor here are only half that size. They
are Caught on the coast and in Chesa-
peake bay as menhaden. and are used
as fertilizer fine grade Of fish oil
is also obtained from them.
