night at the Plaza
Theatre the attrac-
tion will be David
l Copperfield," a pic
ture OF one Of Charles Dickens
best known books. For weeks
and weeks its coming has been
Heralded and now It is here for
the enjoyment OF all, rated as
selected family picture. II is
called a picture book of the
splendid novel of Victorian days,
and there are so many import
ant parts taken by so many inn
portant actors and actresses, that
one hesitates to enumerate all
of them. The adaptation of the
story to pictures has been as
faithfully carried out as is pos
sible, and to those who will
want to refresh their minds the
unravelling Of the plot will seem
very, complete. To those young
folks who have not yet read the
classic, the picture will be de-
lightful and perhaps make the
hook more enjoyable later on.
At any rate this is a specially
fine entertainment for all, and
IL we are to continue to have
reproductions of all that is ex-
cellent in literature, we must
manifest our desire by our pat
rOnage to the pictures of this
type.

BIG GAME FISH
ARE STRIKING
Mackerel, Jacks, Tuna And
Dolphin Caught In
Gulf

PORT ISABEL, May q. - The
deep sea fishing season for 1885, de-
layed considerably by freakish wea-
ther this spring. was opened in
earnest Sunday when fishermen in
20 or more boats travelled out from
Port Isabel and caught big game
fish in the waters Of the gulf.
Figures on the catch, compiled by
J. W. Pate. owner Of the Gulf Ran
ger boat. show the following.
King mackerel. 60.
Jackfish Csome Of huge size) 40.
Tuna, s..
Dolphin, 2.
Spanish mackerel. /.
The king mackerel, prize fish off
the coast in this section, moved In
TO the line Of the gulf and shore
water and were caught IN good num-
bers for the first time. The mack
erel fishing. for both kings and
Spanish mackerel. is expected to
improve considerably.
Pate reported that practically all
persons fishing had a number Of
strikes by fish which we're not
hooked, and there was considerable
excitement among fishermen, who
think the fish may have been sail
fish.
Last year a big sailfish was
caught by young Charles LaTurno
Of Harlingen off the coast Of Port
Isabel, but nom has been caught
since. 1t is likely that fishermen
will go out Don and make a deter
mined effort to catch more sailfish.
and also TO make some large haulS
Of tuna, now plentiful off the coast
here.

the fishing is done for king mackerel.
Muddy water from the Rio Grande
has interferred with surf fishing

trout were caught over the weekend
at and around the jetties at Brazos-
Santiago pass.
