An Angler's Lament Dam' me ! that I should other fish to fry When trout, like magnet, draw me to the North, And in my dreams I'm ever casting fly On limpid lake, then waking I am wroth To find that Id some meshes I but flounder Ab helpless as a bird to a limed perch Instead of having landed a four pounder. For sucker from my fate I vainly search, My friends all carp and say I cod them, Yet, do they drink my bass, and in my herring Laugh at my pickerel and my beer condemn. If I haddock-ed 'em then, without fearing My ale-wife's wrath, I'd had 'em on a pike, A grinning crowd ot sardines, small minnow. But my wife shad smelt a mouse, and like Mother, who'd rather see her sun-fish now, Has on porpoise brought me to this sorry pass. Bnt I'll get square. I'll yet whale all creation When once I'm free, for I'm bound to amass Gold, fish and fame; egad! I'm for sensation Not even shall a weak-fish pass me then. And many a blue-fish will lament its mate. I must show myself a man among men Tnat I was Dorn to fisherman's estate. âG. M. Fairchild, Jr. The F]y-Oasters. The members of the San Francisco Fly-Cast iog Club and invited guests to the number of fifty gathered around the festive and flower-bedecked oak last Tuesday evening, the occasion being the regular monthly banquet and business meeting of the club.

Hors-Douvres Shrimp Salad Celery. Olives. Soup. Tapioca-Crecy. Fieri. Fried Brook Trout a la Mariniera.
