WOODSTOCK NEWS
No Comet Show-Rain

Woodstock folks went to bed
Wednesday night without peep al
any atmospheric displays that might
be occurring in connection with the
passage of the earth through the
tail of Mr.. Halley's comet, at $3.50
miles a minute. Clouds and rain
all day and in the evening spoiled
the show, and for lack OF any evil
dence that anything out of the way
was going on no one seemed to
worry, forgetting all the cyanogen
gas talk that has been heard since
the comet got within 100000
miles or so of us--a near neighbor,
80 to speak. A base ball game with
the score against the home team
would have been much harder on
nervous people than this widely adj
vertised transit.
On Saturday the comet sets at
9.3o p. m ana according 10 Harvard
observatory figures it is visible for
two hours and fourteen minutes if
you can find it after sunset, or its
light isn't put out by the moon.
Sunday, 22d, it sets at 1908; Mon
day, 23d, at 1890; Oath, at 1915;
25th. at 10.55
A fine display has been predicted
for Friday night and still better
one for Saturday, when it will be
seen in the west, over Long hill way
from this village. But it will grow
DINNER all the time and only the
exhibitions of the next few nights
will be worth while.

Fishing Season Opens

The trout fishing season opened
Sunday under not very favorable
conditions, as the weather had been
cold and rainy for week, but sew
eral good strings were shown before
noon.
Dell Desc performed his usual
stunt, going up the roariug Ottau-
quechee into the Bridgewaters and
fishing down. He reported a basket
of 48, and they included some good
ones. Harry e. Dovis fished in sew
eral waters in the vicinity of the
village, and brought in a string Of
10 trout.
The South Branch was attacked
by a score or two of anglers, but the
yield was slight, the stream having
played out apparently for the pre-
sent. On Monday, however, three
or four good-sized trout were cap
tured in the Branch near the village.
One fisherman raised big one
from the water, plunged in to COM
plete the killing, but the trout es-
capped. Another man threw a big
trout into the bush-grown bank,
near the waters edge, and jumped
for the struggling monster. Wit
nesses said there was a whirling of
branches, sand and sticks, as if a
giant pinweeel had broken loose,
and thon the man emerged with the
Tapping fish.
The record catch for 1910 was
undoubtedly made by John Carbino
Monday, who hooked a big one
under the factory bridge,and luckily
landed it without much trouble.
1t weighed one pound, nine and one
fourth ounces. 1t was ON exhibition
Monday evening. Free to all.
Other fishermen who reported
good strings were B. E. Chase, who
had 16-inch trout in his basket; F.
w. Wentworth, SO; and Clayton
Wilson, AZ. E. A. Thomas brought
in two handsome trout from View
pond. w. d. Foster caught one at
Meccawe pond weighing one pound,
10 1-2 ounces, and Edward Billings
got one there of about the same
weight.
