The recent storm put about all OF the
| shad nets out Of commission and being
50 late in the season. the owners con-
cluded not to put out new or other nets
but 20 turn their attention to their trout
or haul seines, at which they are busily
| engaged for the present. Same are all
ready and are now engaged in the haul
seine fishing. but with very little success
at this writing. but we can reasonably
| expect trout in the market this week If
weather conditions continue favorable al
least. Quite a surplus OF sea croakers
! (hard heads) are being caught and es-
pecally down the bay few miles below
here they have been caught OF late by
the hundreds Of bushels. and when they
come on here. we can reasonably expect
trout 20 follow them.
Many persons visited the resort on Sun

recent storm, Notwithstanding the un-
favorable weather Of the day, but nothing
