The Eastern Fishing Industry
can read without alarm that two
carloads of California shad are
being shipped to the Atlantic
Coast. The claim is made that
these fish are as good as the ma
tive variety, being, in fact, the
progeny of shad obtained from
the East. This does not prove
anything. If the shad of the sac-
ramento river are really as sweet
and alluring as the Susquehanna
brand, the Californians would
never ship them East, nor would
Kansas City and st. Louis ever
allow them to pass through.

Following the most successful
week in the history of the mack
erel fishing industry in Cape May
waters, boats from Gloucester
and Boston, now anchored IN
Cape May harbor, tied up for
three or four days because of the
bright moonlight nights which
the fishermen say prevent their
netting the fish.
A few of the eighty odd craft
put to sea to try their luck, but
more than fifty of the various
sized and rugged vessels will re
main in port for another two or
three days until the signs are
better and the moon less bright.
The catch so far this year has
reached several thousand barrels
more than in previous years at
this stage of the season and old

is expected to be more than du-

MEXICO TIPICA
ORCHESTRA in
DOUGLAS TODAY

When recollections of the music
played by the Mexican Tipica orches~
ira at the Majestic this afternoon and
evening have grown dim, the memo
ries of the costumes worn by these
brilliant musicians of Old Mexico will
still be bright for their "Charro'' or
cowboy attire is probably the most
striking uniform worn by any organ
ization in the world.
From the two gallon" 1S-inch char
ro hats, down to the soles of their
one-piece shoes, the musicians are at
tired in garb that would stamp them
as natives of Mexico in any corner of
the globe.
The hat in itself is work of art
that has caused untold comment among
American women who are quick to
admire the silver ribbons and SPAN
giles that adorn tehse tall gray SOM
breros.
Probably every member of the Tipi-
ca orchestra has had dozen opportu-
mites during the present tour to sell
his native zerape, or scarf, to an ad-
miring American for ten times it's
value The variety of coioring and
the richness of the pattern in the ma
tive weaves is the wonder of all who
are unfamiliar with the products and
dress of Old Mexico. In typical Mex
lean style, the zerape is worn slune
across the shoulder by the members
of the orchestra. A, zerape color
scheme is also followed out in the
stage decorations, which, combined
with the rider costumes, makes a vivid
impression on the audience.
The sl1in-tight charro trousers, OF
@bontonadura,' as they are called in
Mexico, are heavily decorated in sill
| yer spangles, true to the style in the
Mexico cattle country. "Chaquetas,'
or light tan charro jackets with
vest of the same color, complete the
costume. In the case OF the Tipics
orchestra, the chaqueta is heavily
/ trimmed in gold lace.
The one-piece shoe, which resem-
bles the easy shoe worn by elderly
gentlemen in America, is the final
feature of the rider attire These
shoes are as stylish in appearance as
they are comfortable.
Many of the Tipicans wear their cos
! tunes at all times and their appear.
ance on the street always causes
sensation in any town removed from
the border.
The orchestra will appear here thi:
afternoon and evening at the Majes'
tic theater.
