It alToids more sport to ama- i teur fisherman than any other of the fishes of the Eca. The tioefollower of ^Vai* < ton uses the pole, reel, line and hook to i catch it with,and the tarpon is the acme of his ambition. To boat a large specimen after a drag (by the tarpon of a boat) and an exer- 1 rise of exquisite skill (by the fisherman 1 with his tackle) from a contest of an < hour or so, is a spell of splendid excitement. It is a question of "I win and you lose" to the end. At the "Cottage by the Sea," I'ascagoula, Miss.,has i just been received astullcd specimen of I this celebrated fish, which mcasurca-ex- 1 actly six feet in length, and when caught weighed 202 pounds. It is handsomely mounted and most artistically preserved. This fish when hooked behaved Jiko an astonished gentlemen or an assaulted cowboy; it made tight instanter, measuring its gleaming length above the water in a jump of fully forty feet, clear over the craft in which the ready conqueror stood. The anchor of the skitf was hauled in by an assistant and the boat was thereby set ndrift while the wheel was played with dexterous accuracy by | the coo! and accomplished luuuipuiator with a wind hack and a let go, until exhaustion in the endeavor of the tarpon to escape made it a prizo to the proud fisherman,?New Orleans New Deltu.
