re The fishing season closes with tn
n week so far as the seine hauIers al
n concerned, until the first Of Julv. an
p the law applies 10 all the fishing point
$ along the western shore Of the Della
S ware bay. Is II right that il should b
? thusF That is the question in the mind
s OF many, and the many are not confine,
I 10 those who fish for a livelihood. bu
those who want the fish for food. Tn,
nigh cost Of food, and especially that o.
meat and lard, and the scarcity of tn,
same, make il imperative for many II
resort 70 fish as a substitute. and what
IS the result, when not one-fifth of those
who want them 10 salt away for future
use are supplied on account OF the vrea
demand and the high prices they have
brought since the fishing season for
trout has opened. The intent OF the law
ana those who were the instigators Of f.
were actuated by good and pure rnoti,,es
ana that was the conservation OF food
lish' out this motive will not hold good
this season, and will not average more
'hsh one fishing season in three. II that
many so the doubts are against the
trainers OF the law. Take this season in
general We all know Il has been a
very cold and backward season in all
kinds OF vegetation-in fact in every
thing-We must admit that IL is from
TWO to three weeks late. Any one with |
experience from study and observation Of
the habits OF ssR FISH, and especially the
trout know that they do not come in
the tributaries Of the ocean or close 10
The shore until the waters warm I'm
without storm or blustery weather. NJ
which we have had but little. except
he last hall OF May and thus far In
une Hence the real season for frout
ishing this year should extend until
veil along from the middle Of the last
week IN June. but the law says TO stop
shlng the 10th day Of June and no
lore until the first day Of July.
Inc hook and line fishing on the
rounds in the bay promises to be good
We are to judge from the success that
lose who have availed themselves of the
'ort at the beginning Of the hook and Z

ON wilmington and another from Del
