PEAKING OF POISSON, there ts mighty good fishing on Weat S 126th Street, I was one of a group of men and women who stood this evening looking Into the window of a restaurant between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. The window contains the usual display of meats, fish, fruits and vegetables and, in addition, a great open aquarium about eighteen feet across. In this tank I saw a Lumber of fish swimming ‘about. Apparently one of the guests had ordered fresh fish, for one of the employees was standing on a chair and reaching down to the fishpond with a crab net. Scooping up the fish he wanted, he stepped down and disappeargd and before we left, I suppose, the fish was on the fire.
