Black base, thoy say, have been particularly plentiful and many large catches have been reported. In the Potomac about Harper's Ferry bass fishing was good all the summer and some good-tized fish wore caught there, while at most places where such sport is indulged in the fieh have been un- usually emall; but now there is an improve- ment and Ath of larger size are being caught. In the Potomao river about this city and as far down as Glymont small black base are being caught in large numbers by anglers with noth- ing but the ordinary angle worm for bait. At Four-mile run lately Mr. Jesse Middleton caught © number of bass. Mr. Rich- ard Sylvester has — probably done as much bass fishing ‘this season as any other angler, fishing in the Potomac about Harper's Ferry most of the time. In single | day he has caught as many as two dozen fish, and among them many that weighed more than apoundeach. The first of this week, with Mr. Dan O'Brien, be fished at the mouth of the Monocacy, and together they caught thirty-two fish. eleven of which weighed over two pounds c Last Sunday Mr. Thomas Barry tried his luck in the river near Sycamore Island and suc- ceeded in landing ten bass. The 6:80 train from the Baltimore and Ohio is known as the fishing train from the fact that itruns toso many points where there is bass fishing, and ia train in which ao many anglers go when off for s Sunday's outi hile the upper Potomac is the place for Diack bass the lower Potomac affords good sport for those who are satisfied to catch other Kinds of fish. There is good perch fishing all along the line, at Four-mile Run, Woodbridge and Quantico, which places are reached on trains over the Alexandria and Fredericksburg railroad as well as at points reached by steam- ers. The 7:45 train on the road mentioned ts well patronized by fishermen. Last Sunday Messrs. John T. Steward, R. H. Brooks and others went down to Quantico and succeeded in catching some large rock fish or striped ba: The largest of them weighed nearly five pounds. A number of fishormen spent the day at Wood- bridge and with success. ‘The Mount Vernon electric cars also run to several places where fith are to be caught. ‘Tho cars cross Hunting creek just south of Alexan- dria, where, it is said, there in elegant rock and erch fishing, and’ further down tho road is Little Hunting creek that makes inland some distance from the river. Further down the cars near the river, where there are said to be several places where fishermen have enjoyed 8 day's sport. THE SHOOTING SEASON. ‘This is also the season for those who derive sport in the country with a gun and dogs, and many persons epend their fall holidays in that wav. y isthe holiday above that the huntsman looks forward to in anticipation of a good time. The prospects fora good season were never brighter, and, although the venson hus not yet opened for some birds,the gunners have begun to slaughter them. “Buch iv the case with partridges or quail. ‘The season for shooting them opens the Int day of November and closes the lst of February. Nearly all other kinds of birds found in this vicinity are now in season, as are rabbits. The supply of rabbits is large for so early in the season, Quail, the people from the country say, are going to be particularly plentiful, and some of them are complaining that gunners are killing them before the opening of the legal season. Last week a gunner went on the place of Mr. J. M. Fowler, jr., at Deanwood, and killed ten partridges and one rabbit in ‘the afternoon. Mr. Fowler says he doca not object to them | gunning on bis place in season, but he intends to prosecute persons for slaughtering birds out of season. Last Sunday some trainmen, who went to Quantico, went ont in the woods while the train was laying over at tho station and killed ten rabbite. In that part of Virginia, it is reported, game is very plentiful and gunners are not much annoyed by the residents. While the law in the District makes November 1 the opening of the season for shooting quail dif- ferent dates are provided in the counties of Maryland and Virginia, but in most of them an earlier date is fixed. : >—- ALEXANDRIA. THE PROPOSAL TO FLOAT NEW BONDS. The annual city book prepared by Auditor Price is alwayn interesting as affording a de- tail of municipal matters; but it is more inter- | esting this year than ever before, Among ite articles is one on the sinking fund, which shows how the selling price of the city’s 3 per cent bonds has augmented under the operations of the sinking fund from its first purchase at 45 cents in 1874, and through the forties, fifties and sixties per hundred until ite last purchase was made @ few months ago at 70 cents, ‘The sinking fund has now over $100,000 of city stock, which it hax purchased.
