Record Catch of MackereI-Swordfish Brought ln-Borough Guests at Litehfield Golden Wedding.


 Babcock Brothers of AvondaIe took record catch of mackerel from their
 Watch Hill pound Saturday. The catch filled their power boat till the rubbing
 strip was down to the water and in addition their seine boat had as many
 of the fish as it could hold. In all
 there were about 80 barrels of mack
 erel. They were iced and sent to the
 New York market. The catch was
 clear of sharks and as they were in
 good condition they will bring a good
 price. Now that these fish have struck on 1t is probable that they will remain
 all summer.
