HORNED POUT TALE.
Fish Lives Six Weeks in Boats Bilae
at Cobbosseecontee.

That the unprepossessing but tooth
some horned pout of our lakes, ponds
and streams is tenacious of life is
proverbial, and many tales have been
related as to what this fish will under
|go after being removed from his ma
tive element before he finally gives up
the struggle and consents to be num-
bered among those that were, but a
story along that line which has just
been brought in from Cobbosseecontee
is conceded by the local board of ex-
perts on fish stories to be just a little
ahead of any that have thus far been
submitted
The story is told by an Augusta
man, which fact clothes it with the
| garb of truth. The man, who with hi.
lwife and little ones, passed a portion
ofNthe summer atone of the cottages
on the lake shore, is the owner of
motor boat and sometimes uses j
when he goes fishing for the purpos,
Iof replenishing the family larder Some
time ago-a matter of six weeks or sc
the man relates to his friends, he be-
came aware that there was something
about the boat which was new to him.
and that the something was a noise.
At first he thought that there was
something the matter with the engine,
so he took it apart, cleaned it thorough
ly and put it together again, only to
find that though it ran all right, the
noise still continued, at intervals
About that time, also, he discovered
that the noise was in evidence whether
the engine was running, or not. In the
course of his investigation he even
hauled the boat out of the water and
looked over the bottom, but found
nothing out of the way.
The noise, however, continued.
sounding something like the gritting
of ones teeth. and then like the muf-
fled call of bullfrog, and then, again,
it would sound as if something were
moving about in the boat. The mys-
terry of that noise grew to be uncanny
and it is said that the owner of the
boat became so much concerned over
the matter that he used to go down
to the float. during the evenings, when
all had become quiet about the lake,
and listen to that noise, and while lis
tening, wonder.
Finally, last week, the presence of
that mysterious something about the
boat became unbearable to the owner,
and as last resort, he took up the
floor boards of the boat, and the mys-
terry was all off, for down in the bilge
and Worn to a shadow of it's former
self, but still alive, was a big horned
pout. The presence of the fish in the
boat was at first poser for the man,
but after doing some thinking he re-
membered that along the first of Aug
ust he went fishing one day, taking
along small tub to keep the fish in.
and probably in some way the pout
must have Topped out of the tub, and
down into the bottom of the boat
the narrow space behind the
fly wheel of the engine. How the fish
kept alive all that time is a problem,
for while there was some water in the
bilge of the boat, it's life sustaining
properties must have been reduced to
a minimum, but that the fish was alive
at the time that it was released from
its prison the owner of the boat is pre-
pared to furnish his affidavit

Grand Opera at Opera House, Sept

Local music lovers will welcome the
announcement that Augusta is this
year to be included in the preseason
tour of Noted Stars of the Boston
Opera Company, and for the first time
in its history is to be presented with
real Grand Opera by an established
Grand Opera organization. The en-
gagement will take place in the Opera
House on Friday evening, Sept. g.
The first tour of this kind took place
last spring, and as many as possible
of the New England cities and towns,
large and small. were included. Press
and public united in declaring that the
remarkable aggregation of artists who
| took part in that tour and the operate
program offered, was the finest evel
heard in any New England city outside
| of Boston. Lack of time made visi
to Augusta impossible then, a fact re
GREETED not only by many local opera
devotees but by the management OF
| the tour itself.
The present seasons company is not
'only larger in point of numbers than
the one last year but it contains a
greater number of famous grand opera
stars. Perhaps the best known of these
is NJ Umberto Sacchetti who for the
past three years has been one of the
leading tenors with the Boston Opera
Company. Previous to that time he
was connected with the Metropolitan
and Chicago Opera Companies. Fred
erick Johns. the we'll known music
critic of the Boston American, stated
that Sacchetti was the only tenor out
side of Caruso that he would call
voiced" He said that if Sac
ehetti only had Caruso's volume. he
would easily lay claim to the title of
worlds greatest tenor" The person.
mel of the company includes two bril-
liant prima donna sopranos, Nine. Ma
ria de Babbi and Nine. Gertrude Hut
cheson, two tenors of international
reputation. M. Umberto Sacchetti and
NJ. Giovanni Gatti: two really great
baritones, M. Nikola Oulouchanoff, the
famous Russian baritone, and NJ. Ro-
mano Malpica; two prima donna con-
traltos, Nine. Ernestine Gauthier and
Nine. Josephine Rondaro: and two
splendid bassos, M. Edgar Littleton
and NJ Heath Gregory.
The program which will be offered
here will be partly operate and partly
concert. The opera selected for pre-
sentation is Mascagnis masterpiece,
"Cavalleria Rusticana," conceded to be
the greatest short opera ever written.
1t will he sung in its entirety, with
elaborate costumes and scenery. Pre-
ceding the opera every member of the
will be heard in a concert
program of operate arias and concert
ed numbers. This concert program
proved delightful feature of last
seasons tour. 1t will include the ia
nous Sextette from Lucia, the
equally famous Quartette from "Rigo-
lette," the Duel scene from Faust"
and the well known duet from Pucci-
Mrs La Boheme." The encores will
be sung in English. Despite the num-
Der and high class of the artists and
the magnificent operate program to
he given, the prices will be extreme
ly moderate, less than one-half the
scale that prevails in Boston and other
grand opera centers.-Adv.
