WO GAMES OF THE BOWLING LEAGUE Cable Chess Match Soon to Be Played. CURRENT SPORTING _NOTES oe The only hitch which now seems possible to prevent the meeting of Corbett and Fitz- simmons in the ring will be the failure of Dan Stuart of Texas to secure a place where the two heavy weights will settle the long-looked-for contest. December 17 James J. Corbett affixed his signature to the articles of agreement Grawn up by Dan A. Stuart. and the sign- ing of the ariicles was witnessed by ‘‘Par- son” Davies of Chicago. Yesterday after- noon Bob Fitzsimmons, accompanied by his manager, met Dan A. Stuart at a Jersey City hotel, and tn the presence of a num- ber of well-known sporting men and repre- sentatives of the press Fitzsimmons affixed his signature immediately underneath Cor- bett’s on the articles. There was a parley between Mr. Stuart and Manager Julian as to the terms of the agreement. Fitzsimmons said that every- thing was satisfactory to him except the question of a side bet, and the last clause in the agreement, which gave Stuart the right to reserve all privileges. James J. Corbett, when shown the Asso- ciated Press dispatch announcing the sign- ing of articles for the big fight by Fitz- simmons, said: “That's the best news I’ve had in a long time. I only hope Mr. Stuart will not be troubled in locating the battle ground. I will be on hand and ready to fight.” Regarding the complaint made by Fitz- simmons in relation to outside privileges, such as photographing the battle, Corbett sald he did not blame Fitzsimmons, as he himself had made similar objections. Stuart's statement that he would do the right thing in case he let any privilcge of the sort seemed satisfactory to Corbett. As to the amount of the stake, Corbett said: “I put up $5,000 for my share of the Stake when I signed the articles, and also $2,500 to guarantee my appearance. Fitz- immons now says he is willing to make it $10,000 a side. There is no question with me about the stake, but I want to see their $5,000 up first.” "BOW w.

Rowing. The Harvard oarsmen resumed training yesterday afternoon. The men took light exercise in the gymnasium and finished with a short run. The tank room in the building is being entirely overhauled and refitted, and will be ready for use in a few days. Following Lehman's instructions, the rowing machines have been banished, and the oarsmen will return to their former practice in a water tank. The stationary boat is to have the level slide, and to be rigged precisely like the barge in which the crew rowed during their work last month on the Charles. The following men have been summoned by Capt. D. M. Good- rich for training: Moulton, Boardman, Thomson, Perkins, '98; Sprague, Hollister, Perkins, 99, and Bull. Walter B.

FRUITFUL FISH FARMING The Work of the Past Year in Stocking Coast and Stream. Th@ Lusty Salmon, the Acquisitive Lobster, the Plump Shad and the Variegated Trout. — Probably never in its history has the United States fish commission accomplished as much work in eight months as it did during the period from April 1 to Decem- ber 1 of the year just ended. The annual report of the commission made by Commis- sioner Brice directly to the President shows that not only has the ordinary work been Steadily pursued on an enlarged scale, but that the field has been very much broad- ened, especially in the direction of propa- gating fish not before the subject of ex- tensive cultivation, all of which attempts have been followed by marked success. When Commissioner Brice assumed charge of the office the work in progress was mainly the propagation of shad on the Po- tomac, Susquehanna and Delaware rivers, and of lobsters on the New England coast. Realizing the necessity of increasing the output of shad, the most important of eastern food fish, operations in that direc- tion were enlarged at once, with the result that the output was increased by :30,000,000 eggs this season, the total output being 148,000,000. Lobster Farming. If Congress approves a bill submitted providing for a few auxiliary stations, the commissioner says he will be éenabied to immensely increase this output in the near future. Extra efforts were also made to enlarge the lobster output, with the result that the number of fry collected amounted to 97,000,000, as against 72,000,000 last year, and, with the experience gained, this out- put will be increased 100 per cent next sea- son. In the line of new work, steps were taken to propagate the mackerel, which valuable fish is constantly failing, and 24,- 000,000 eggs were collected. The work was largely experimental, but it is believed that next year valuable results will follow. The salmon work on the Pacific coast has re- ceived comparatively little attention during the past few years, but this season Com- missioner Brice made a new departure and located auxiliary stations on some of the streams tributary to the Columbia river, to operate in connection with the permanent station at Clackmas, Oregon, with the as- tonishing result of reducing the cost per thousand of salmon eggs from $1.81 to 11 cents. Output of Salmon Eggs. Enough eggs were taken io run the hatcheries to their full capacity, and to send 5,000,000 to the east for distribution. The total take of salmon eggs—37,000,000— amounted to three times as many as were ever collected before in one season. En- couraged by the success of this experiment, the commission proposes next year to sup- plement all of the central hatcheries in the country by small egg-collecting stations, to be run only during the spawning season at small expense. Undismayed by the mysterious disappear- ance of the splendid lot of western salmon fry placed in eastern rivers several years ago, the commission is about to make an- other attempt to colonize the Pacitic sal- mon in the east. To accomplish this 5,000,000 €sgs will be transferred from the California stations to stations in New York, Ver- mont and Maine, where they will be hatched and the fry liberated in the Penob- scot, Kennebec, Merrimac, Hudson, Dela- ware and Susquehanna rivers. The output of Atlantic or landlocked sal- mon has been largely increased, and the lake fisheries have been fostered, the col- lection of lake trout eggs being increased by two or three million. The white fish work was set back by the destruction of the fishing gear in the height of the season, but it is hoped that the collection of cggs will amount to 140,000,000. ‘Work on the Cod. The cod work just commencing at Wood's Holl will undoubtedly surpass all previous seasons; over 9,000 brood fish have been collected in the pen at the Holl, and they should yield at least 150,000,000 eggs, in addition to 75,000,000 to be collected by the Grampus at Kittery Point. The trout out- put will also exceed last year’s record, al- though the season has not yet advanced far enough to give figures. To give the Pacific coast people the op- portunity to feast on the best fruits of At- Jantic waters the commission made a start this season toward introducing there the eastern lobster, oyster and diamond back terrapin. The oysters arrived in excellent condition and were pianted in Yayquina bay, Ore., and Hurrboit bay, Ca!., without loss. The lobsters were very difficult to transport, but ninety egg-bearing females were safely deposited in Monterey bay, an equivalent to 1,200,000 fry. ‘The terrapin were deposited in suitable waters in San Francisco bay. The Noble Steelhead Trout. In return the commission felt that the Atlantic coast and the lake dwellers would like to have the great steelhead trout, one of the finest game and food fishes of the Pacific coast, where it attains a weight of thirty pounds on a maximum, and an aver- age of ten pounds. So plants aggregating fry to the number of 180,000 were deposited ‘in the waters of Superior and Huron, and 50,000 in Penobscot river, Maine. Eggs were also supplied to the New York state com- mission, which hatched them and planted the fry in the Hudson. Summing up-the work of the commission the report shows that !n the case of the twelve more im- portant food fish the increase in planting has ranged from 10 per cent to 866 per cent. In conclusion, the report tells of the work done in improving the plants of the stations and building new ones. The Ten- nessee station, authorized by Congress last session, is to be located in Unicoi county, near Erwin, Tenn., and steps are being taken to investigate the advisability of establishing a station near Spearfish in the Black Hills, Dakota, and at some point in New Hampshire. —____+e-______ District Epworth League. It is arnounced that at the meeting of the board of control of the District Ep- worth League, to be held tomorrow even- ing in the Foundry M. E. Church, the resig- nation of Mr. Fred E. Tasker, the president of the league, will be presented. The de- termination of Mr. Tasker to relinquish the direction of affairs of the Epworth League will come as a surprise to the mem- bers of the organization in this city. Mr. Tasker is just completing his first year as president, having been elected in March last. During his presidency the affairs of the league have been prosperous, and it is with regret that he will retire from office. He states, however, that to do justice to the duties of his position requires more time than he can spare from his private affairs. . Another matter of importance to be de- termined at tomorrow evening’s meeting of the board of control will be the selection of @ superintendent for the junior department of the league. Mr. er’s successor, how- ever, will not, it is believed, be chosen until the February meeting. es ‘Temperance Men for the Dispensary.

SOME WEIGHED FIVE POUNDS Big Break Hole, Proves a Fish Cone vention Place. ee NOTES OF THE PROGRESS Correspondence of The Evening Star. HARPER'S FERRY, W. Va., Jan. 5, 1897. The second day’s record of the work of seining the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and removing the bass and food fish to the Potomac river was extremely satisfactory to all the gentlemen sportsmen interested in the project. The wading suits of rubver which were found Sunday to be absolutely necessary for the seiners, on account of the depth of the water, were sent up from Washington yesterday morning, arriving here at noon, and the wisdom of securing them was shown during the afternoon, when several holes and pools, which it had been impossible to seine Sunday, were suc- cessfully relieved of their finny denizens. Particularly gratifying results were secured at the Big Break hole, a mile and a half above Harper’s Ferry. This pool gets its name from the fact that the canal broke through its banks at this point during the great flood some years age, and in rebuild- ing the bank a great deal of clay was taken out of the canal bed for the pur- pose. This excavation left a deep hole in the canal which the water collects in when the canal is otherwise emptied, and fish nattrally run to it for life and protection. When Dr. Massamore and Capt. Harron went to work here yesteday evening there was a large crowd present. Only one hau! was made, as the hour was late, but the catch resulting was tremendous. Over 400 bass were taken, several of them being cf great size, and three weighed five pounds. These bass were immediately carried in the big tin buckets of the United States fish commission to the Potomac and re- leased in its waters within five minutes of their capture, not being out of water a minute of that time. A large number of carp were also caught and destroyed whilé the suckers and catfish were, like the carp, distributed among the crowd, sc that fish suppers and breakfasts were enjoyed !n probably two-thirds of the houses in Harper's Ferry and_ vicinity. Many of the carp weighed several pounds. A large quantity of white perch and chub were also put in the Potomac, and min- news and shiners, the two chief food fish- es for bass, were transferred in great num- ters. The hole will be seined again this morning, the men having departed for the and it is confidently expected that nd more bass will be taken out of it before dii.ner. i = Mr. John mith and Mr. W. B. Cross, who know every inch of the canal between Point of Rocks and Williamsport, declare that the best results will be secured in the vicinity of Shepherdstown. The result in the Big Break hole: verified the opinion of Captain Harron, thé United States fish commission expert, whose assistance has been of incalculable value to Dr. Massa- more. Sunday evening Captain Harron said the hole was full of bass, and that he would prove it when the wading suits came. He is indefatigable in the direction of his men ard works as hard as any of them. The mode followed is well adapted to good re- sults. The seine is hauled by two men who hold the poles at either end. Two oth- er men with pronged sticks agitate the water in front of the seine on either side of its path. Captajp-Harron wades behind the seine, releasing it when caught by a snag or rock and frequently running his arm over the cork:iime into the seine and pulling out a good-sized bass that is trying to escape. His men are tireless workers and obey orders with the alacrity of able seamen. ~, Ts Dr. Masgamore said last night that he felt very much encouraged over the result of the seining so far, and hoped anglers generally would be made acquainted with. the fact that the expenses are heavy, and additional funds would he necessary to push the project to final completion. The party which went in the direction of Wash- ington had excellent luck in the locks and pools, and was particularly fortunate near ‘Weverton. “Dr. Massamore, when he re- ceived reports last night, stated that at least 20,000 food fish had been put in the Potomac during the day, of which eleven hundred were bass. About three hundred carp were destroyed. All these fish, except the carp, would have been killed by the cold or the drying up of the canal this win- ter. It is estimated that a thousand of the bass already transferred to the Potomac will help to swell the population by breed- ing in the coming spring. Another Account. The Baltimore Sun this morning con- tains the following special dispatch from Harper's Ferry, dated yesterday: The waist boots for the canal seiners ar- rived at noon today, and the parties which “are transferring the black bass into the Po- tomac river did wonderful work this after- noon. Eleven hundred bass were caught, some of which weighed five pounds each, Many big carp, weighing from three to six pounds, were taken, and there was great scrambling as they were thrown on the banks of the canal to the crowd. Every looker on went home Jaden down with carp, suckers and catfish, and the boys had a great time grabbing for eels. It is impossible to estimate the number of food fish for bass that were put into the river, but 20,000 would be a low estimate. The banner haul was made in a deep pool a mile above here, where 400 bass were cavght. Only one haul was made, covering about half the pool, and it was too late in the day to make another. It is believed that a thousand bass will be taken from it temorrow. Dr. Massamore says the scheme will be a great success !f the ground to be gone over yields anything near as many fish as that of today did. The party going south made their best haul about night, just above Weverton. Dr. Massanfore is indefatigable, and is right in the mud and water pulling in the lead line, picking up the bass and seeing that they are put into the river. He says he will not be able to do the work as thoroughly as he would like on account of a lack of funds. Now that the scheme seems to be a great success, Dr. W. 8. Harbon and Clusky Cromwell have gone to Washington to raise more money among the arglers, and Dr. Massamore says the Balti- more fishermen, and, in fact, anglers all over the state, ought to make contribu- tions. = THE LONG De ANCE RIDERS, Participants in the Recent Race Are Depysting- The participants ie big six-days’ race are beginning to si ¢ the dust of the city from their feet.

Saks and Company, “Saks’ Corner.” Meret DEATH OF MRS. E. G. BELL. Passed Away This Morning at Her Home. Mrs. Eliza Grace Bell, the wife of Prof. Alexander Melville Bell, the well-known scientist, died this morning shortly before 9 o'clock at her residence at the corner of 35th and Q streets. The deceased had reached an advanced age, and had been sick but one week, her condition growing worse until death ended her sufferings. Mrs. Bell was a native of England, and re- sided there for some time. She was mar- ried to Professor Bell over fifty-two years ago, the pair celebrating their golden wed- ding in 1894 at Cape Britain Island, N. S., where they went for the summer. The event was made a memorable and happy one, and the two received the congratula- tions of a host of people. Professor and Mrs. Bell took up their residence in this city in 1881, and have lived here steadily since then. Prior to that time they were residents of Canada. The only surviving son of the couple is Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, who lives at 1331 Connec- ticut avenue. He was at the bedside of his mother to the last. Though all of the ar- rangements have not as yet been made, the funeral will be held Thursday, the exact hour not being settled upon. The services will be held at the home of the deceased. Rev. Mr. Davenport of Anacostia will con- duct the religious services. The interment will be at Rock Creek cemetery. a Franklin Lodge. The following officers were installed by G. V. C.
