WHERE THE BLACK BASS APPEAR Proposed Laws for the Protection of Game and Fish. TEXT OF THE BILLS a FULL Probably no sport or recreation in the world gives its votary.more real and last- ing pleasure than angling. There is a de- lightful thriil in recalling the moment when you dodged under the fleecy smoke and saw your first buck going down convulsive- ly on his knees a hundred and fifty yards away; there is something akin to ecstasy in going through again that never-to-be-for- gotten July day in the shady wood-bottom when stanch and sturdy Don came proud- ly out of the dogwood and alder with that woodcock in his mouth and dropped to a point on the edge of the bushes where the dead bird’s mate was crouching, and you got him, too. But when the sportsman who knows such experiences as these com- res them with the rapt and indescribable fair hour he has spent with a glorious two- pounder bass plunging and racing, writhing and rushing through the seething water of a rock-broken rapid, feeling every spasm of the fighting fish through the trembling nen that conveys the most exhilarating electrical telegraphy on earth, he looks up at his rod and forgets he hus such a thing as a gun in the house. There wiil be abun- Gant opportunity for him to renew that rapture in the next few days if the weather remains clear, because the bass in the Po- temac is beginning to feel the vigor of spring in his bones, and he will be eager to attack either the minnow or the fly if they are discovered anywhere in his immediate neighborhood. Anglers know this, however, without the necessity of their being told. The poet once said: “In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” He wouldn’t have missed the truth by a hair if he had written: “In the spring an angler’s fancy gladly turns to thoughts of fish. There are as many different kind of an- glers, too, as there are different kinds of fish. The real expert seeks only the game fish, like the trout and the small-mouth bass, and prefers the fly as the means to lure them into a scrimmage, but there are just as warmly enthusiastic anglers who devote themseives to rock fish, wilte perch, or any old thing that has fins and a tail, and they enjoy themselves as much with a bob and worms as the expert does with his more intricate and costiy paraphernalia, The Potomac holds in its silvery em race sport for all the votaries of the heajthful ard exhilarating pastime, and the perch seekers are already out in the vicinity uf Georgetown anc Chain bridge. Over in Little river, back of Analostan Island, is a splendid perch ground, but there are still finer fish to be caught there now. ,'These are the large-mouth black bass and the crappie. The crappie rises to the fly and fg as game as a brook trout. The Little river ts plentifully stocked witn ihis fine fish, and should be visited by those in search of fine sport and plenty of !t. Good white perch fishing may be found all the way up the river from Three Sis- ters to Chaingbridge and beyond. Around the site of the old Ead’s mill there are usually good strings uwaiting a tisherman, and off Table Rock the perch hite freely. The bass—the small-mouth bassshould be sought above Little Falls, or better stil, above Great Falls. Spring fishing is usually very good at old George Penny- field’s and at Seneca. Above Sharp Shin gland at Seneca there is usually excellent bass fishing in early April. Bass fishermen will have to get in their work early if they Want spring sport, however, as the law will prevent the taking of bass. from April 15 to June 1, and the river will be closely watched to prevent violations of the sta- tute. Parties are already visiting the clubs ur river, and the members of the Sycamore Island, the Blue Ridge and the Woodmont clubs, and the Anglers’ Association are laying the foundations for fish stories to pass the time with during the approaching clese season, and spread over zhe summer - well. ; Prospective bass seekers will do well to remember that the smaii-mouth will be found inshore during the carly spring, and in narrow shallows where there is not much current. It is well, too, to use live bait while the water remains chilled, as bass can seldom be deluded by an artificial fly when the weather is not warm enough for real water-skimmers to be arou: oa ind and PROTECTION OF FISH AND GAME. Text of the Bills Introduced in the Senate Yesterday. As stated in yesterday's Star, two bills of considerable interest to the sportsmen of the District were introduced in the Senate yesterday by Mr. Proctor.

A brief telegram from the president of the naval trial board, Commodore Dewey, confirms the press report of the jerform- ance of the gunboat Helena on her trial trip, namely, 15.8 knots, uncor- rected for tides and wind. Commander Brownson, a member,of the board, has re- turned to Washington, and speaks in terms of praise of the boat''As well as of her sis- ter ship, the Wilmington. The naval offi- cers have been “$u d with the gea-go- ing qualities we thébe craft, and Com- mander Todd, who t0Jk the Helena around to the sound from} Newvort News, says that she behaved ‘belfutifully in the swell.
