HUNTING AND FISHING.

v..

HAT the descendants of Ninirod, and the dis-
ciples of Izauk Walton, have greatly multiplied
in the earth in these latter days is evident to
any one who is an observer of the signs of the
times. Year by year the number increases of

those who devote their summer leisure to hunt-

~ ing and fishing, and who are on the lookout

for new openings in tlie prime sal wilderness, where they
may find " fresh fields and pastures new," and where,
with gun and rod, they may secure abundance of pleas-
ure, as well as the renewal of wasted energies and a new
lease of life.

The student poring over problems in books, the clergy-
man whose nerve force is nearly exhausted, the weary
clerk, the harassed business man, the incessantly besieged
editor, the professional of every grade, from the village
sclioolmaster to the President of the Republic, — all these
and multitudes not enumerated find a solace in the midst

mmtit'

of their labors in the prospect of a tramp through the wikl woods after game, or the throwing of a fly
upon waters well stocked witli the finny tril)e8, wliose cavorting has rarely been interrui)ted.

It is a mooted qnestion wlietlier the anticipation of such sport and the details of preparation, or the
recounting, during the winter evenings, of one's past experiences, be the more thrilling. Next to actual
participation, both prospect and retrospect are charming J)eyond measure. Few narratives have more of
magnetic power than the stories which are told and retold of adventures in flsirnig and hunting, and,
if they a e so marvelous as to put some strain u|)on the credulity of tlie listener, the charm is greatly
increased. There is always a breezy freshness to s.i'ch yarns, which is captivating and exhilarating, while
the imagination wanders oflf to make the mere recital a reality.

Whoever opens up a new vista, and introduces the lovers of sport to a fresh and desirable locality,
confers an inestimable favor ; for, as the advancing civilization devastates the forests and sets the rivers
at work upon manufactures, the game disapi)ear8 from both.

And now, if you will carefully select your fishing tackle, put in order your gun and accoutrements,
pack vour gripsack with necessan- subslantials instead of fancy goods, and w -'o with us, we will give
you something to remember for the rest of your days, where game of every kind is always plentiful,
and piscatory skill can have its fullest sweep as nowhere else on this continent, east of the Focky

Mountain Range.

If Boston is a convenient point of departure, we take the evening express of the Montreal &
Boston Air Line, wliich whirls us through a rapid succession of thriving cities and large towns, whose
electric lights make the first few hours seem like a moving panorama of Fairy Land, with rapid
alternations of light and shade, glimpses of gleaming waters, and peeps at pleasant villas, into the

brings us to the wharf on Spicier Laice ; and nine o'clock in the evening finds us landing from a natty

Doubtless, no one of our party would feel at all complimented on being called the successor of
Benedict Arnold ; yet he was among the earliest of notable tramps to explore this region, when, in 1775,
he was sent by General Schuyler on an expedition into Canada, through the eastern wilderness, by way
of the Kennebec and Dead River regions, a most interesting account of which will be found in Spark's
History. Starting from Cambridge, Mass., on September 18, with eleven hundred men, and taking
transports at Newburyport for the Kennebec River, he passed through a series of hardships which make
a thrilling record. " Eleven hundred men with arms, annnunition, and all the apparatus of war, burdened
with clothing to protect them against the in.;lemency of the weather, were to pass through a region
uninhabited, wild and desolate, forcing their bateaux against swift currents, and carrying them and
their contents on their own shoulders around rapids and cataiacts. over craggy precipices, and through

morasses, till they should reach the French settlements in Canada, a distance of more than two hundred
miles."

Throughout tlie entire route, they encountered the most discouraging disasters and exciting episodes,
and were until November 13 in reaching Point Levis, opposite (Quebec. Aaron Burr, then a yours; man
and afterward Vice-President of the United States, accompanied Arnold on this expedition. Theii route
lay through this region, and near us is the site of one of their camps, from which an occasional memento
is obtained. One of their old bayonets, half eaten up by mqre than a ceut'iry of rust, is in possession of
the Secretary of the Megantic Fish and Game Club.

Possibly, some of our party cannot stop to enjoy the pleasures described further on in this book, but
would like to make a hurried trip to the celebrated Rangeley Lakes, thirty or forty miles to the eastward,
and return to the exigencies of business. If so, from the Spider Lake to the Seven Ponds, thence
via Tim Pond to Eustis, Me. ; from the latter place by stage-coach and narrow guage railroad, along
the picturesque valley of the Androscoggin River, via Kingfield and the Rangeleys. Through all the
trip, every nt'lo presents points of special and romantic interest. From here, the homeward route lies
through Farmington, Me., the prettiest country town in the State, where one finds strong temptation to
stay awhile. Here we connect with the Maine Central Railroad, running through lovely landscapes and
charmingly quiet pastoral scenes to Portland, where the lover of nature ought to spend at least a day or
two among the hundreds of islands in Casco Bay, rivaling in interest the famous Thousand Islands of the
Upper St. Lawrence. From Portland, one can take his choice of routes to Boston, going by either division
of the Boston & Maine, — the western, via Berwick, Haverhill, and Lawrence, or the eastern, which follows
the sea coast; or an excellent line of steamers will afford a pleasant ocean trip, which is full of interest.

After such an outing comes the tug of war I It fa a hard thing, after the freedom of wilderness life,
to settle dt)wn and take ui) the cross of daily toil ; to put away the roundabouts and corduroys wiiere
moth doth not corrupt ; to put the trusty gun on the brackets, and stand tlie fishing rod in its slieutli in
the corner of a dark closet ; to lay aside the flannel siiirt, redolent witlj the aroma of oil of tar and
pennyroyal, and feel once more the tyranny of tlie linen collar; to doff the free-and-easy suit, and frame
one's self in " store clothes " ; to exciiange the flavor of game -for the odor of rum|)steaks and baked
beans, and the pure mountain air for the stifling atuiosi)here of the counting-room, the lal)oratory. or
the study, while one bows meekly (perhaps?) to the tyranny of fashion and the conventional exactions
of etiquette.

And yet, through all this gleams the bright recollection of "when we were in the woods," with
voluminous stories of exciting adventures at Spider Lake and Megantic, Seven Ponds, ei al, when old
comrades meet to " fight their battles o'er again," and plan the next campaign. Verily, the enjoyment of
such evenings in "the afterward" is worth the full cost of the trip; and it is no wonder that the
participants grow infatuated, until, in tlie exuberauce of their enthusiasm, they are unconsciously carried
beyond the severe limits of exact statement, and lean a little toward exaggerated hyperltole !

The man is to be pitied who has no taste for roving in the woods, and can talk of nothing but the dry
practicalities of his business, or of the still more unattractive technicalities of a profession ; who does not
know a trout from a mackerel except by the stripes on tiie latter, or would look for a black bass to take a
" squid," or take along a rod and reel if invited to go blue-fishing.

There is a wholesome discipline as well as recuperation in a few weeks of camp life, which rounds

The clergyman preaches better and shorter ser-

the flock think less about a change of shepherd.
The business man finds that, after all, the world has
jogged along about as usual, and that the fresh grip
he can take upon his affairs more than compensates
for the loss of a few possible bargains or turns he
has missed in the market. 'I'iie lawyer sees i)oints

the waters of the Annanoe Kiver, whieh enters near \Vool)nrn Wharf, the
Victoria River in Vietoria Hay, the Sandy River at Kclio Ray, and nunierouH
other small streams. At its outlet, the Chandiere River takes its origin from
Chandiere Hay, upon which the village of .Vgiies, liake Megantic, is situated.

Tlic village contains two cinnches, a dozen or more stores, six hotels, tw(»
steam sawmills, and about two hundred inhaltitants. It is the present
terrnimis of the International Railway, or Short Line, a connecting link of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
although the rails are laid twenty miles beyond, across the international boundary. The village is very
l)rettily situated upon the lake shore and both sides of the river, the principal industry of the inhabitants
being lunil)ering. The railway is built out two hundred feet, upon a large and capacious wharf, to facilitate
the handling of lumber; and the steamer " Lena." owned by Mr. George Flint, of Three Lakes, calls at
this wharf upon all trips.

Sportsmen will find the Prince of Wales Hotel, Mr. Moquin, proprietor (which is only a step
from the wharf, and between it and the depot), a clean, neat, woU-kcjit house, with a genial and
obliging host.

TliP trip on the Htpniner from Ajjfnes to Three Lakes, which is situate*! at the head of the lake,
occupies about an hour, tiie distance ten miles.

The scenery along the route is very romantic and variegated, the different ranges of hills and
mountains presenting a changed appearance at each half-mile of the journey. At Rocky Point is the
pretty summer residence of W. IJ. Ives, Kh(|., the member for Kichmoud and Wolfe, and Mr. Hufns H.
Pope, of Cookshire, while opposite and a little higher up is the summer house of Mr. T. ('. Jones,
of Winnipeg, Man. The " Hermit's Den," containing a genuine hermit, is at Handy Point. After
reaching the latter point, the IJouuthiry Mountains come into view, showing the Scotch Cap, Saddleback,
(Josford, Boil, Snow, and other mountains, giving a most charming landscape view upon a clear
day. One cannot help comparing the scene, and the invigoration that is already perceptible throughout
the system, from being in an atmosphere three thousand feet above sea level ; with the depression, heat,
smoke, and dust of Boston and New York Cities, — besi<les, an appetite, which is the first legitimate
result of invigoration, is engendered at once by the trip across the lake. And who of the parties that
have visited the lake can deny that upon reaching Three Lakes they had an apjjctite that would ilo justice
to an Kstpiimau ?

The shores, particularly the eastern side, are dotte<l here and there with the farms of the settlers.
Wild fowl can be seen at every trip, affording ample opportunity for testing firearms from the deck of
the steamer.

The village of Three Lakes is situated * *he head of the lake, upon a neck of land cornering upon
Megantic, Spider, and Rush Lakes ; hencr its name. Six years ago, an Indian camp was the only
landniark ; and it is due entirely to the energy and perseverance of one man that a village, containing

The n:n f Mr. (;e(>rge Flint will always be associated with Three Lakes. This gentleman, after

ehoosiny; the present site for his steam mill, built a steam launch, and placed it npon the lake, established
a po9t-<»llice, now having a daily mail, opened up a road connecting with the village of Meganlic, built a
road across to S[)ider Lake (half a mile distant), and thus laid the foinidation for a thriving little village.

Mr. William K. Latty, the llsii and game overseer of the Club, owns
the hotel ; and members of the Club, and sportsmen in general, will always
find good accommodations at his house, and an excellent table.

'I"he lake has numerous Imys, — Victoria, Sandy, Moose, and Chaniliere
Hays. The illustration (page 2(i) is from a photograph taken from the
upper gallery of the Prince of Wales Hotel, looking west, with the l*\!gantic
Mountains in the distance. The finest view upon the lake is from the hill
leading down toSandy Hay, looking south, taking in the Houndary and other
mountains in Maine. All the streams emptying into the lake abound with
brook trout. The Victoria Hiver atl'ords good trout fishing, and is navigable
with small boats for cpiite a distance. This river takes its origin in the
township of Clintor., and, .lowing through the township of Maraton, empties
into Megantic. The Annance River empties in at the head of the lake, near
the Woobnrn Wharf. It is a small stream ; but the lower two miles are
'^'* navigable with small boats, tho water being still and quite deep in places.

Bn-i^M*.'

and many are shot here every season by "jacking." Very good fishing can l<e had in the stream, the
tront averaging small ; bnt it is a favorite fishing ground on account of its being easy of access.

Near the mouth of the Annance River is Annance Bog, a small body of dead water, extending
back nearly a mile in a southerly direction from the lake. This bog is a very favorite resort for deer,
moose, and caribou, as it affords excellent feeding grounds ; and during the month of September it gives
good sport to those fond of jacking, which heretofore has been about the only method of shooting about
these bogs. It is not at all uncommon to see five or six deer in one evening's jacking in this bog, the
adjoining river, and Rush Lake.

The fishing in Lake Megantic, as in all other large lakes, is very uncertain. The lake is full of fine
lake trout, weighing as higli as twenty-five pounds, as is shown by the poachers' night lines, nets, etc.,
which have been used with impunity in the lake up to a recent date. In Chaudiere Bay, Moose liay, and
at the various inlets, speckled trout will rise to a fiy ; but the months of June and September are the only
months in which the lake trout will take a bait in legitimate fishing, except at the outlet of the lake
(Chaudiere River), where there is excellent fishing, speckled trout rising readily to the fly all through
the season. Some very fine "strings of trout" have been taken by casting from the bridge across
the Chaudiere River, at the outlet of Lake Megantic ; but of late years, since the village has sprung up
and increased in population, the fishing, as a natural consequence, has deteriorated. Good fishing can
be had by going down the Chaudiere River, which is navigable by small boats, although the current
is pretty swift. Sportsmen fond of trolling or bait-fishing for lake tront will find Rocky Point and
vicinity the best grounds for the purpose. Hall's Point, which forms one of the sides of Chaudiere
Bay, is a favorite trolling ground. Trout can be caught through the ice, at the head of Lake Megantic,

SPIDER LAKE.

I'lUKK Lakk has been aptly named " the Geneva of Canada." Snnounded upon
all sidei' by lofty ranges of mountains, and lying in an elevated atmosphere
I three thousand feel above sea level, it is one of the prettiest inland lakes in
Canada, and a more delightful spo* for seeking relaxation and seclusion in the
summer time cannot be found. Next to Megantic, it is the largest body of
water in the region, being between three and four miles long, and from half
a mile to three miles wide, and is about thirty-five feet higher than Lake
Megantic, from which it is separated by a carry of less than three-quarters
of a mile. The proper name of the lake is " Macannamac," the old Indian
name, and as such it is written on all the maps, and it seems a pity that its origi-ml name should become
so rapidly obsolete. The name signifies " Father, or Source of the Waters," as it is the first body of water
across the watershed on the Canadian side of the boundary, and the headwater of the Chaudiere River. The
common name " Spider" has been given the lake from its supposed resemblance in form to the insect of
that name, being composed of a large central body of water, with numerous deep bays or inlets indenting
the shores, and. although much smaller in size than its neighbor Megantic, it is said to contain more
miles of shore. The lake is only a couple of miles north of the Maine border, and three-quarters of a mile
from Megantic. It is by far the prettiest sheet of water in the Club region, and on this account, besides
its many facilities, it has been chosen upon as the site of the Club House and headquarters of the Club.

' ^'y%

The lake is fed by the Upper Spider River, the Indian River, and several small brooklets, and is
emptied into Rrsh Lake and Megantie by the Rapid and Lower Spider Rivers. It is three nnles from
Lake Megantic by water through Rush Lake, which is not navigable for the first three-quarters of a nnle,
by reason of the rapu'". between Spider and Rush Lakes. - . r, j

The Club House will be located on the southern shore, commanding a fine view of the Boundary
Mountains in the east, and other chains. The northern shore of the lake is partially settled ; but upon
the southern shore there is not a settler, and all the land on this side is leased to the Club. About a mile
and a half from the carrv, at the foot of the lake, is a very pretty island, containing about fifteen
acres of land,- " McMinn's Island,"- in honor of Major William McMinn, a recluse major in the
Confederate Armv, who has a cabin upon its shore; and behind this island, upon its southern shore,
no better black-bass fishing can be found anywhere in the lake. An old fallen pine lies upon the shore,
Dioiecting out in ten or fifteen feet of water, and from under its branches the writer has allured many a
black bass, ranging from three to eight pounds in weight. They will rise to a fly in July, and take a live
bait all througli the season. Immediately opposite this island is a low sandy beach, with an occasional
reed and water lilv growing here and there ; and, almost any time during the warm weather, deer can be
seen coming out to escape the flies and to drink, and particularly toward sunset, when

eighteen inches deep ; and tliis cove is the favorite placfi for deer to come ont, wlule heliind it is a natural
deer park. During tlie montiis of June, July, and August, deer come out every day ; and many times
has the writer watched them for lioiirs, and admired their graceful movements as they frolicked upon
the beach.

A little way above this cove, midway between it and the Spider River, is " White Birch Camp," the
summer house of Dr. IJisliop, which is very prettily situated among a clump of white birch and poplar
trees, upon a bluff overlooking the lake.

There is good bass fishing with trtll or fly all along this sliore, at the head of the lake, and on the
opposite shore, in front of the different points. The Spider River empties into the lake, in the southeast
corner, over a low, sandy, shallow marsh, with scarcely enough water to float a boat ; but, as soon as the
river is rea' 'led, the waters deepen quickly. The Indian River empties in on the northern shore, opposite
White IMrcli Camp. It is navigable for a short distance up, and one can get fair trout fishing near its
outlet. Many deer have been killed upon its banks by jacking, which is the universal method of hunting
them in this section. There is also good jacking in nearly all the bays in Spider Lake in the early
autumn. Occasicmally, one can get a shot at a deer in daytime, swimming in the lake or feeding upon the
banks. The method of " still-hunting " them with canoes is as follows : The guide takes the stern of
the canoe with the paddle, while the party who is to do the shooting sits in the bow with the rifle. As
soon as the deer comes out, the guide turns the canoe straight facing him, and glides along noiselessly
as long as the deer is drinking or feeding. As soon as he raises his head, the guide stops, remaining in a
cataleptic condition ; for the deer will allow a canoe to be paddled up within ten yards, so long as he sees
no motion, provided the wind is favorable, and he does not " get on the scent." The moment the deer

tail ; the next moment, as he lifts and arches his head and neck, the tail goes up perpendicularly, and
awav goes the deer through the water and into the woods like an arrow. A quick aim and pull of the
trigger must be made the instant the tail begins to move, accompanied by arching of the neck, as it i^
considered bv the most inveterate huntsmen as an infallible sign that the deer anticipates danger, and wi 1
not remain Another moment. This method of deer hunting Is one of the most enjoyable. 1 here is much
depending upon the skill of the guide, as well as controlling yourself when the deer is watching you, and
vou are only waiting for him to lower his head once more to give the guide an opportunity to send you

Megantic, is

Egg Pond,

a small body of water less than half a mile long. It is nearly round in shape, as its name signifies, and
at one time'contained innumerable trout. On account of its proximity to settlers, it has been pretty well
depleted, very probably bv the use of nets. The variety of trout contained in it is very fine, and when
one is caught it is a large one. With protection and restocking, it could again be made a gootl fish pond.
On account of its proximity to Spider Lake, it is well worth a visit and trial.

stream for tiio lover of nature, and true Hitortsnian, cannot be found, witli its
abundance of attraetiouH.

Arising among tiit; Boundary Mountains in the extreme limit of the Canadian
territory, it is made ni) of several small rivuleth, which, after congregating
together, form two main liranches,— the east and most important brancli
taking uj) the ramifications in the township of Louise, the west draining the
more distant p->rtion of the township of Ditchflcld. The two tributaries join at a point five miles
from the lake.

The east branch flows through what is called the "brftl(5" or burnt land, a large tract of about six
thousand acres that has been completely burnt over and destroyed by forest fires. From the forks and
for a distance of a mile below, the river is not navigable, but the lower four miles are comparatively dead
water, and navigable all the way to Spider Lake.

The river has the reputation of being a most prolific trout stream, and despite the steady and almost
unlimited drain made upon it the last ten years, prior to the Club's acquiring the lease of it, it still affords
excellent fishing, and with moderate protection and restocking can again l)e made one of the finest trout
streams in the province. That portion flowing through the " brfii^; " is rapid, with the exception of a few
pools and stretches of dead water. It also contains two or three small ponds, dilatations of the stream,

SCENE ON WHARF AT WHITE BIRCH CAMP. (Spider Lake.)

which afford excellent sport ; they are situated nearly three miles above the forks. The fishing all the
way down the stream from the ponds to the forks is very good, the trout at present running small. From
the forks to the "landing," which is at the head of navigation, the fish run a little larger, and pounders
are not unfrcquently taken, while, in the month of June, as large as three or four pound trout are taken.
From the landing to the lake, about four miles, the river is still very winding and with deep pools.
Last season, a trout was caught here weighing seven pounds. It is this portion that offers so many
inducements to the canoeist. Upon ea' h bank is a fringe of lily-pads, with a bordering of tall grass and
hardback bushes, with the green trees and mountains in the background. Gfime of all kind is seen in
paddling up the stream. Deer come out to drink, and feed upon the water 1 lies ; wild duckt., blue
herons, or kingfishers are startled at every turn and bend in the river.

A fortnight ago, the writer, in paddling up the river a distance of two miles, came upon five deer
feeding along the banks, which shows the excellent results from the endeavors of our indefatigable game
wardens. Deer-jacking has been the invariable procedure upon this river both in and out of season until
the present season, when the game laws were commenced to be enforced by paid wardens, and the results
have been very encouraging. There is no better place upon the whole preserve for deer than the Upper
fipider River, the whole of its navigable distance. There are innumerable bogs leading out of the rWer,
and they afford excellent feeding grounds. Some of these bogs are half a mile long, and a boat can be
floated through them. The most prolific of them is the Big Bog, which is situated upon the northern
shore, a couple of miles from the lake. Many deer and moose are killed in this bog yearly, it being
at the terminus of several "runways" extending back into the woods, and is the favorite spot for
jack-hunting. The method of jacking deer and moose is as follows : A lamp with reflector is placed

upon a stick or support in the bow of the canoe, so arrangetl tliat all the light is thrown directly forward,
and all rays excluded from reaching the boat and its occupants. The guide takes the stern with the
paddle, the one who is to do the shooting being seated iu ine bow, behind the jack, rifle in hand. The
utmost quiet is enjoined by the guide, who propels the canoe along noiselessly, without removing his
paddle from the water, turning the canoe at his will, so as to scan each bank. It is hard to say from
what standpoint the deer views the jack-light. Some claim that the deer imagines it to be the moon
with its reflection upon the water, its close proximity not being suspected ; while others say that the deer
notices something unusual in the light, but regards it with curiosity, and not seeing any objects about it,
or hearing any noise to alarm it, stands stock-still until shot. Whatever are the deer's thoughts, if the
wind does not give him the scent, he will stand, in many cases, till the light is within ten feet, and not
exhibit the slightest alarm. The deer is generally heard in the water before seen, the sound bringing
one's heart into the mouth, an^ setting the canoe vibrating from the rapid pulsations : the guide (juietly
turns the light in the direction of the sound, and glides the canoe steadily along toward the spot from
whence the sound proceeded. The first thing noticeable is what appears like two small balls of fire in the
darkness, the reflection of the light upon the deer's eyes. Slowly and steadily the boat is pushed on, the
moments seeming like hours to the expectant hunter, till gradually the form of the deer becomes outlined,
and the animal looms up nearer am' nearer. If the hunter is new at the business, the guide generally
gives the signal when to fire, and the animal is dropped.

From reading the above, one would imagine that it was easy to kill a deer by jack-hunting ; but such
is not always the case. Almost invariably a sportsman will miss the first deer he fires at in the night, and
subsequent ones till he becomes more composed, and takes a more careful aim. Much also depends upon

the guide, as the slightest noise will at ouce inform the deer of danger, and he will disappear before
being plainly seen. The least breath of wind wafted toward the deer will warn him of danger ; or, if
the boat becomes unsteady, so as to swing or sway the lantern, the deer will become alarmed, and
disappear snorting and blowing like a warhorse.

Late in the season, deer do not stand so quietly at an approaching jack, and then they are hunted
with a dark lantern, a string being attached to it in such a manner that the lantern can be quickly
and noiselessly opened as soon as the boat is within range,. This method is the common one for
jacking moose, which, as a rule, are not so hard to get up to as deer, if a dark lantern is used. The
moose does not appear to notice anything, but will keep on eating or walking about till fired upon ; but,
if wounded, it is always discretionary to retire with the canoe as quickly as possible, as they will often
come straight for the light, recognizing in it an enemy, and many instances are recorded in which a
sharp contest has taken place in jacking moose at close quarters. Although not considered a very
sportsmanlike way of shooting deer, and one which is prohibited by 8tatu.;e law in certain localities, there
is a pleasure attached to it that is very fascinating to one accustomed to the practice, so that often one
will go out jacking with plenty of venison in the larder, and with no intention of shooting a deer, but
merely to go through the process and watoli the deer, seeing how near one can get to them. The writer
has been paddled up to a deer, while jacking, near enough to touch it wiUi the muzzle of the rifle.

There is a 8olfc.:m stillness in a calm evening rhile jacking up the river, that is very impressive.
Occasionally the stillness is broken by some bird flying over the canoe, or a muskrat quietly swimming
across the stream sees the light, and suddenly dives under the water, making a splash that, if taken
unawares, is sure to startle you, and nearly upset the canoe. But, if no game is stirring about, nothing

RUSH LAKE.

0'i^':^.^ i/V^ "^^^ uiLATATioN of the Lowor Spider River, with a bordering marsh or l)og, forms
■^ ' ^ -.^ . Rush Lalie, so named from the reeds and rushee growing all cer it. It is

quite a large body of water in the springtime, covering an area uf a mile in
length, and from a quarttn- to a half mile in breadth. It is fed by the Rapid
Spider River, which empties Spider Lake some three-quarters of a mile
distant, and by a couple of other small streams. It is situated about a mile
from Lake Megantic, and is emptied by the Lower Spider River, which, after
being joined by the Arnold River a few rods from the outlet of Rush Lake,
flows into Lake Megantic.

During the summer months, particularly in a dry season, the entire lake,
except the channel, is boggy, all the water thickly covered with lily-pads, interspersed with tall reeds
and rushes, the banks containing alder bushes, while here and there are arms and inlets forming bogs,
some nearly a mile long, through which a boat can be pushed. It is in these bogs that so many deer
and moose have been shot by jack-hunting during the early autumn, as they become valuable feeding
grounds during the period between sunset and the early morning. One can often see a deer or moose in
the afternoon or evening in these bogs, by paddling up the lake.

Duck shooting in Rush Lake is very fine during the migratory period, in the fall. Immense flocks of
ducks frequent the lake, and rendezvous there overnight. The best time for the duck shooting is after the
middle of October, and up to the time the ice begins to form.

Camping at Rush Lake (Foster's Clearing).

Fishing in the lake does not amount
to much, owing to the inability to cast a
fly on account of the rushes ; but at the
inlet at the foot of the rapids is exccnent
trout fishing in the month of June, while
all through the winter trout can be caught
through the ice at the head of the lake.
There is very good black-bass fishing
at the foot of Rush Lake, particularly
where the Arnold River joins the Spider.
Bass will take the fly (Polka, Blue Bass,
Silver Doctor, or FuU-wing'ed Ibis being
the favorite flies) in July, and minnows
(live bait) at any time in the season.
Minnows can be caught anywhere in the
lake with a landing net and a few crumbs
of bread. A small trout stream enters
one of the bogs at the upper right hand
corner of the lake, which is accessible
with a boat, unless a particularly dry

pioneer guides in the region, who lost his life croseing Lake Megantic on the early fall ice. lie was
returning from the Chaudi^re River, where lie had been for camp supplies, nnd had a' bag of flour upon
his back; the ice broke, and the weiglit upon his neck drove him through the hole, from which hu never
escaped. A mound of earth a few steps from the bank marks the sjiot where it is said liis bones lie. The
illustration on the opposite page is from a piiotograph taken ; i the edge of Foster's Clearing, and is tlie
spot where the writer and Mr. Woodruff, of New York, Vice-Preaident of the Club, pitched tlieir first
tent in the Megantic region, and shot their first buck.

There is a trail leading from the dam on Spider Lake to the head of Rush Lake ; and the " Whisky
Trail," named from the purposes for which it was originally used, starts in at this place, and extends to
the Chain of Ponds, ciosfiing the international boundary between Arnold and Crosliy Ponds. Tliis trail
has been in existence over twenty years, and was extensively patronized bv wiiiskv smugglers and
"bounty jumpers" during the war. Rush Lake is easily accessible from Megantic bv small boats, but
not from Spider Lake, by reason of the rapids between the two lakes.

TROUT LAKE.

uouT Lakk 18 about five miles, in an easterly direction, from
the head of Lake Megantie, and is situated in the township of
Clinton, near the town line of Marston. There is no direct

crossing Lake Megantic from Three Lakes, and driving back
upon the government road about three miles from Mr. Ryan's
residence upon Megantic to the farm of Mr. Cusineau, a French
settler, from whose place a tramp of two miles will cover the
distance to the lake. The route is very hilly, but affords an
excellent view of tlic surrounding country, the scenery tilone
being worth the tramp in. The lake is situated at the base of
a very steep hill, over which the trail passes, is in shape and
size very much like L Pond, of the Seven Ponds group, with
as good a reputation for trout fishing. The lake empties by
a circuitous little strciiin into the Annance Uiver. It is the

LEAN-TO AT HATHAN BOG. (Dead River)

DEAD RIVER.

HE nearest water from Spider Lake, after crossing the international boundary
into Maine, is the extreme headwaters of the Dead River, one of its branches
arising jnst over the watershed, and is a small creek that can be stepped
across till it reaches the Upper Hathan Bog, which empties into the lower bog
after a distance of nearly a mile between the two. Crosby Pond, which is
near by, and Cranberry Bog, from another branch, meeting the other watcin
iu the Lower Hathan Bog, which flows in a southeasterly direction till it joins
with the Gore Stream just below Horseshoe Pond. The Gore Stream has its
origin in Big Northwest Pond (one of the Seven Ponds group), and flows northerly through Massachusetts
Bog to Arnold Pond, thence easterly throu^li Mud and Horseshoe till it joins the Hathan Bog waters.
From here, the river flows in a southerly direction through the Chain of Ponds proper, including Round,
Long, Beaver, Bag, and Lower Ponds. From this point, the river flows south and east till it empties into
the Kennebec River.

HATHAN BOG (upper portion).

HATHAN BOG.

LOW, marshy body of water situated a mile from the boundary, and five miles
from Spider Lake, is called Hathan Bog, from an old lumberman of that name
who first cut the lordly pines that make this region famous, and floated them
down the Dead River into the Kennebec. It is divided into two separate
portions, the upper and lower bog, with nearly a mile of stream intervening.
The broad expanse at the head of the upper bog, shown in the illustration
opposite, is erroneously put down as Beaver Pond on some of the maps. This
portion is very shallow, not over a foot deep in dry weather, with a very
muddy bottom, which grows an endless variety of aquatic plants, and is
covered with lily-pads, etc. It was originally formed by beavers damming the
stream a few rods below. There are no less than three beaver dams in this
portion, over two of which boats have to be drawn, unless the water is very
high.

After leaving the open space, the bog narrows to a creek, navigable all
the way for over a mile to the foot of the bog, where there is now constructed a
dam for driving logs.

The stream emptying this portion runs through a rocky almost inaccessible place for three-quarters of

shrubbery, while less than a mile distant, on all sides, are the

Hathan Bog, considering both its fish and game, is one of
the most prolific spots upon the Club's preserves. Its location
between the mountains, and the excellent feeding grounds it
affords for deer and moose, attract large numbers of these
animals. The second-growth shrubbery (which deer are so fond
of) upon each bank, and the tender plaits floating in its waters,
make it a favorite resort, while the adjacent thickly wooded
mountains afford plenty of shelter. The writer has seen moose
at two o'clock in the afternoon feeding in the open expanse
at the head of the lake, and deer at any time from 4 P.M. to
8AM.; and many moose have been "laid low" in this par-
ticular spot. Next to the bogs in the Upper Spider River,

lower hog is also a favorit"^ nlace for deer early in the season. Although a hog (so called), some of the
finest trout ever tasted have been taken from its waters.

The trout in Hathan Bog are particularly fine flavored, always fat and plump ; and the fishing is good
at any season or time of day. Altliough not large as a general rule, an occasional two-pounder is taken ;
and sportsmen camping here can always be assured of plenty of trout to eat. The following i)laces
are the most prolific : at the narrows just at the foot of the open expanse in the upper bog, above and
below each beaver dam, and for a distance of fifty rods along the lower end of the bog, from the boat
landing up to where a small stream enters on the right ; in fact, almost anywhere where there is an
opening in the lily-pads, suflHciently large tc trail a fly, trout will be found. They have a decided
preference for the " early worm," and immediately after daybreak is the l)est time to fish here. In the
lower bog, although not so large a space, the fishing is even better than in the upper.

The favorite fishing hole here is from where the brook emptying Crosby Pond enters, up to the next
curve in the bog, where a beautiful cold stream trickles in on the right hand side. This spot is about
fifteen rods long, quite deep, and seems to have an inexhaustible supply of trout, running from one-half
to three-quarters of a pound, upon the average. The pool is fringed on both sides with lily-pads and must
be approached very cautiously with the canoe, in order to produce no commotion in the water, and great
sport may be expected. The best trout fishing ever experienced by the writer was in this pool, who was,
presumably, the first to cast a fly on its waters. In writing a descri|)tion of trout waters, one must ))e
careful of the "shoals of understatement, and more particularly the quagmire of exaggeration"; but
the trout in this pool, nevertheless, are a marvel. I am quite clear of the "quagmire" when I say, in
making a cast with three flies, a dozen fine trout would rise from all quarters, and turn somersaults over

BREAKFAST IN THE LEAN-TO (between Hathan Bog and Crosby Pond).

"i!

the flies in their eagerness to bite, and, upon the first occasion of fishing in this pool, I accomplished the
remarkable feat of bringing to net at one cast, with three flies, four trout ! The guide assisted me in
landing them ; and the only way to explain the capture of the fourth trout was that it was scooped in by
the net in l&nding the other three, although the smallest of the catch was over one-quarter of a pound.
Only last season, some fine strings of trout were cauglit in this pool. Captain Hinman and myself
caught in an evening's fishing one hundred and twelve trout, returning all to the water except twenty-two,
which were over three-quarters of a pound each. Some of the catch can be seen in the illustration
on the opposite page. .

The record for trout fishing was broken in this pool last September, upon the occasion of the visit of
a party from Boston, who camped in the vicinity fo*" a couple of days. Among the party was the Club's
attorney, Mr. Charles Hanks, and the writer. It was proposed that we take one of the guides, with a
birch canoe, and visit this pool for an evening's fishing. The trail leading from our camp to the bog was
a poor one, having become almost obliterated, on account of the high growth of thr lirubbery, and the
fallen, partially burnt logs also forming severe barriers to our progress with the culoc. The start was
made at 3.30 P.M., and the bog teached at 4.45. The representative of the law, being pretty well
disgusted with the tramp, declared that there was " not a trout in the entire mud hole." I offered a
wager that we could easily catch one hundred trout before we returned, if they were in a biting humor,
and the bet was eagerly taken by the barrister ; but upon reflection, considering the lateness of the
season, I made an amendment in this particular : that, if the trout would rise at all so as to take ten
trout, 1 would catch seventy-five, and the amendment was accepted, but a " time limit" was placed upon
me, — 1 was to land my trout before six o'clock ; it was then 4.45.

BB=!B

I was cow '1 =1 ^i8i4erable " cheek " to make such a wager. - Seventy-five trout in an hour ami a
Quarter'" B. ' ' ranging that the wager go to the guide, whichever side won, the "bach was

Linched, a.Kl ft ;.Kie .'i. .ted to paddle quietly down to the pool. The first cast induced two or three
trout to rise, and one was .. ded ; the next cast seemed to set the waters boiling, and two trout were
brought to net. Terror was plainly depicted upon the face of the legal man. At th.s time I was c.stmg
just opposite where the cold stream flowed in, and having all the sport the most ardent angler could wish
for; but the trout were runnit.g so large that considerable time was consumed in playu.g them before
thev could be safelv landed. Our attorney had conceded that I could land the seventy-five 1 a.t all right,
but' he was pretty 'sure he had me on the "time allowance." As there were no restr.ct.ons pkced upon
the size of the fish, I directed the guide to move a little lower down, away from the inlet, and gave the
large trout a rest. Here they were smaller, and the numbers ran up rapidly, three at one cast being
landed on two or three occasions. The guide was keeping tally, and held the watch. He called " time
at 5.54 (and six minutes to spare !), just as two half-pounders were landed This -^f /--t^-^;^;""!
caught, and in sixty-nine minutes! As all small trout had been carefully returned to th6 water, we
panned up stream again, and fished till time to return to camp and supper. The total number caught
was one hundred and twenty-five. Besides returning all the small ones to the water, we earned a
fifteen-nound creel, well filled, to the camp.

Besides this pool, there is good fishing all the way down to the dam; another very deep hole, where
some large trout always lie, can be found about ten rods above the dam.

I might add that the favorite flies in both these waters are the Red Ibis, Queen of the Wateis
and Brown Hackle (small hooks) ; but, if you wa,nt to allure larger trout, substitute Reuben Wood and

Hathan Bog is reached by .. il e-v ile trail from W^hite Birch Camp at Spider Lake. A good trail
from the foot of the bog connetts it vith Crosby Pond less than half a mile distant. Another trail will
be cut througli, connecting the ■ >er bog with the lower, a distance of three-quarters of a mile, and also
from the bay in Crosby Pond, ■ ,i icting with the lower bog less than a mile distant.

From the dam at the foot of the lower bog wili be a trail a mile and a half in length, coming out at
the forks of the Dead River.

There will be a small camp, a lean-to, at the head of the lower bog, for the convenience of
members who go there for an evening and morning fishing. A large, commodious camp will be
erected at Crosby Pond, to accommodate members while stopping at Hathan Bog, as there is no good
site for a camp upon the bog, on account of the timber being burnt off and the l-ind so marshy ; while
between the two waters nearest Crosby Pond is a fine knoll, offering every accommodation for a camp.
Quite a show of wild ducks breed in both bogs, and there is good partridge shooting all along the
different trails.

ARNOLD POND AND THE CHAIN OF PONDS.

iiis beautiful sheet of water takes its name tr -in General Benedict Arnold, who
crossed the pond (which is about one and one-quarter miles long) in bateaux,
with his troops and "implements of war," upon the occasion of his memorable
expedition against Quebec. The water lies two miles north of Massachusetts
Bog, and between it and Mud Pond, and is the largest body of water in the upper
chain, with the exception of Crosby Pond. It is by far tiie prettiest sheet of
water upon the Coburn Gore, is about half a mile from the l)Oundary, and lies at
the base of Black Mountain, upon its northern shore. The pond, on account of
its resemblance to a moose horn in shape, has l)een put down on maps as Moose Horn Pond.

In the northwestern corner of the pond is a fine point projecting out, covered with pin? trees, —
Point of Pines, — upon which tliere is a beautiful site for cami)iiig. A camp has been built near by,
and put in order and furnished by the Club, for the accommodation of its members. Fishing in the
pond has not been particularly good the last few years, on account of its proximity to the settlement
of Wooburn ; and it lias been suspected that nets have been freely used in its waters. Formerly,
both speckled and lake trout were very abundant, ar,d late rep'>rts say the trout are upon the increase
again.

It is a most delightful place to camp, and with a little restocking will liecome a popular place for
sportsmen, as game of all kind is plentiful in the vicinity. It was here that the headquarters ot the

party who slaughtered so many deer in tie winter of 1884-85 were made. Two thousand eight hundred
pounds of venison — hind-quarters only — were shipped out to the Roston market. The deer were all
killed in Ihe vicinity of Arnold Pond, extenrling southward to Massachusetts Hog, and northward along
the boundary line.

. In spite of this tremendous drain, deer are increasing rapidly about here- The writer camped at
Arnold Pond the week between Christmas and New Year's last, in company with Colonel Harrington, of
Boston, and, in tramping across from the pond to Crosby (a little over a mile distant), came upon
over seventy places where deer had lair^ overnight since the last fall of snow, some three or four days
previous.

Trails connect this pond witli Massachusetts Bog (south), the boundary line (west). Mud Pond
(fifty rods to eastward), and with Crosby Pond, the latter trail going in at the head of the bay in the
northeast corner, and coming out near the outlet of Crosby Pond (less than one and a half miles).

Next to Arnold Pond, in an east'jrly direction, lies

Mud Pond,

a small rocky pond, sometimes called Rock or Round Pond. It is round in shape, covered with lily-pads,
which greatly interfere with the fishing. The pond contains speckled trout, but is not much fished, on
account of the abundant growth of lily-pads. It is a favorite feeding ground for deer, and is a fine pond
for jacking or still-hunting. The brook between it and Arnold contains large numbers of small trout.
Less than a quarter of a mile to the east, upon the same stream, is

much larger than Mud Pond, and well stocked with trout,— it is in shape domewhat like a iiorseshoe,— and
at the foot of the pond is a dam for driving logs, constructed by Messrs. M. G. Shaw & Sons, who own
the adjacent township. Very good fishing at times can be had m this pond, and below the dam, the
fish resembling very much those in Big Northwest Pond, while door frequent the place all through the
summer. A trail continues past this pond from Arnold, extending southeasterly to the Chain of Ponds
proper and Eustis, following the Old Tote Road, 'i'here is no .cmp located here, as the pond can be
reached in less than a quarter of an hour's tranxp from Arnold. A trail loads from Horseshoe, the
northern shore, to the outlet of Crosby Pond, about a mile dittaut.

From here the Dead River takes a southeasterly coui^ie ijcross the Chain of Ponds township, the
Gore Stream branch being joined by the stream emptying Crosby Pon.l and the Hathan Bog rl n pomt

trout ; but, as the writer has never cast a fly upon its waters, he is unable to {i;ive a practical account of
its qualities as a fish pond. The

Chain ok Ponies Proper

comprises, in order: Round, Long, Beaver, Bag, and Lower Ponds. Round Pond covers about fifty
acres of land, and affords good fishing. A boat can be run into Long Pond through the narrows, which
are only a few rods long. Long Pond is the largest and prettiest of tiio chain, is about three miles

long and of varying width. It contains both
speckled and lake trout; and the fls-'in"; ;•
very good, particularly near the foot cf the
pond, where the Indian Stream empties in.
Large mimbers of fish are caught through the
ice in the winter season, in this pond.

The scenery about the pond is very fine.
I'pon the east sliore is a high rocky ledge on
the side of the mountain, nearly overhanging
the lake, while upon all sides are ranges of
mountains.

This place is of interest, not only on
account of Arnold's trip through here, but
also on account of a foul murder perpetrated.

Long Pond, "Chain of Ponds."

some twenty years ago, upon the shore of Lon|j; Pond. The victim was an Indian girl, a sister of
Joe Marie, the celebrated Indian guide at Megantic. TLe murderer, a white man, after committing the
crime, tlirew the body into the lake, where it was found floating upon the water by some lumbermen, and
buried a few days after by a couple of Alaine guides. A rude cedar-post marks the resting-placic of the

unfortunate victim, whose murder has never been avenged, the
grave lying upon the small neck of land intervening between
Round and Long Ponds. Next below Long Pond, and lying to
the eastward, is Beaver Pond, and next in order comes Bag,
tiien Lower Pond, all containing more or less trout, and connected
by short streams, navigable with small boats. These ponds are
connected by a trail (Shaw's Tote Road), which runs upon the
west shore, with Arnold Pond (northward) and Eustis, and a
number of lumber camps are to be found at different points along
the trail. Messrs. Shaw have a nice camp upon the Indian
Stream, and Peter LeRoyer has a good camp at the head of Long
Pond. Game is very plentiful all along the valley of this Ciiain
of Ponds, and no better ground can be found for still-hunting.
The trip in a canoe down this pond to J^^ustis is a most enjoyable
one. It was in this vicinity that Peter LeRoyer, the well-known
Indian guide, caught and domesticated a young moose, which he
drives about and works like a hojse. The animal is now four
years old, and as tame and quiet as any ox, occasionally straying
into the woods, but always returning again.

MASSACHUSETTS BOG. "

[ktwken three and four miles north of Big Northwest Pond, the most remote
of the Seven Ponds group, and between it and Arnold Pond, lies a dilatation
of the Gore Stream (n branch of the Dead River), named MassachuHetts Bog.
Its original name — Caribou Bog — was given it by Mr. Kennedy Smith; but
it was changed to its present name by a party of sportsmen from Boston,
who, on account of its wonderful and almost inexhaustible supply of speckled
trout, honored it with the name of their native State. It is a question whether
the palm belongs to this bog or Northwest Pond for the best lishing in the
region. I'resumably, Massachusetts Bog contains a larger number, but the
flsh will average larger in Northwest Pond. Both waters arc upon the township leased by the Club from
Messrs. Ilazeltine, Kuowlton, and Hall, of Belfast, Me., the same lease also comprising Grant, Little
Northwest, and the South Boundary Ponds.

The bog lies at the base of the Boundary Mountains upon the Maine side, and. running in a winding
course parallel to them, is over a mile and a half long, but at no iilaee over three hundred feet wide.
The illustration is from a view taken about midway the bog. During the summer months there is only
a narrow channel in places not covered with lily-pads, and it is in tiiese clear places, where there is an
opportunity to cast a fly, that the trout rise so well. This bog is widely known for its excellent fishing,
the trout rising all through the season and at any time of the day. One is always assured of good sport
at Massachusetts Bog. The trout are not large, but will average in the best season of the year half a

^' tf. <fei> W W'gMi> a iW fctf iii iit i i ii ui^^^ ^

pound, while an occasional trout weighing as liigh as a pound and a half or two ponndn is taken. Four
pound trout have been caught here.

There is little doubt that the bog still contains large trout, although it has been the writer's
misfortune to lind them average smaller than others report. The following very interesting letter from
our Vice-President, Mr. Wocxhuff, of New York, anent this subject, shows what Hsh have been taken
out, and witliin tlic last three years. The story of his success has often been told in the region as a
"fish story"; but, being a little incredulous, the writer asked Mr. Woodruff for the facts of the case,
and lately received the following letter, dated New York, July IG, 1887 : —

My dear Doctor^ — Absence from the city for a few days has prevented an earlier reply to your last. You say
that you have heard some tall stories from Mose and Joe Noel about a certain day's Ashing I had at Massachusetta
Bog, and ask me to give you my account of it. You arc very careful, however, I notice, not to say what the tenor and
"size" of these stories are; hence, as guides are proverbial at drawing the longbow or — should I say in this case? —
making a long cast, I will simply give you a plain, unvarnished talc.

We had our camp that season, you will remember, at Point of Pines, on Arnold Pond. For three weeks we
had whipped Heaver Brook, Arnold, Horseshoe, Rock, Upper and Lower Hathan, Cranberry, and had even tried Mud
Pond, with but fair success, while our ears were constantly being filled with tales of the big trout in Massachusetts
Bog, and tne '.lonsters taken out of there through the ice the previous winter. But, whenever we spoke of going
there, we were told of the white cedar swamps, three hours to get there, too far to go and return the same day,
no camp there, and so on, until every tale was taken cum grano stilis; and most of our party left on the first of
September without having essayed the bog, leaving only my brother, nephew, and myself in camp. The next day,
happening to be on the top of Black Mountain with Mose, he called my attention to a little patch of water, about as
large as your two palms, two miles off, as the crow flies, which he said was Massachusetts Bog. One glance at the lay

glance at the lay

of the land, and all fear of wliite cedrr uwamps vanished from my mind; and the next morning I started with him for
the nuich-talked-of spot. Going directly across from Point of Pines, I took the ridge on the left of the brook until it
ran into the swamp, which we crossed at a spot only a few hundred feet wide, and then took the hard wood ridge
again on llie right, much to the disgust of Most;, who wanted to follow the "blaze" nuide in winter, on sudw-siioes,
through the swamp the whole way. I think lie prcdicteil that, if I kept on in my course, I woidd come out at
Northwest Pond. However, when I left the ridge at right angi-s and, turning to the left, plunged down into the
valley, my good luck was again with me, and we struck the bog just where the brook enters it, thus placing myself as
high in the estimation of Mose for my knowledge of woodcraft as my lucky long shot that first season at a buck
forever perched me on the highest pinnacle in Joe's estimation as a crack ritle shot.

I had my rod and little Stevens rifle, while Mose had only his inseparable axe and a small parcel of grub. It was
now about three in the afternoon, and our first thought was to find the boat, which Mose had ca(;hed that spring, and
which he said was essential in order to get any trout. After an hour's fruitless search, Mose " remembered" that the
Indian — What was his name, — the one who had the cow moose.' — had been told where the boat was; and, as he bad
been there a few weeks before, eri^o the boat must be at the "other end." The quickest way to get to the "other
end" was to make a bee line through the white cedar swamp, Mose said. Leaving coats and rod where we iuteiided to
spend the night, taking only the little rifle and axe, Mose took the lead through the swamp. If you have never been
through that bit of white cedar in a wet season, then I can only give you Punch's famous advice, " Don't," — words fail
me even at this length of time to do justice to it. It was after six when we got to that "other end," wet through to
the skin, half fresh and half salt water. By seven o'clock we had decided that the boat was not at the "other end."
It was too late to get back to camp, it was rapidly growing cold, for you know bow cold the nights often are up there
early in September, and there was nothing for us to do but make a fire, dry our garments, and lie down on the bare
ground, with the leaves for our bedspread, the stars for our canopy, and empty stomachs for an early rising alarm
clock. We had even left three partridges at the camp, which I had shot on the way over. I recall how Mose
complained only at his not having put a handful of tea in his pocket. Between the water from below and the
perspiration from above, it would have been in a fine condition, though, doubtless, he would have found no fault

Willi it. and I iiiicstion it" I should have •• made a fuss over such a tritle." Hut the fun heijaii after dark. Mose made
a roariiiij fire on the ed^e of the bhift". and we steamed and scorched one side while we slapped the other to keep it
from eoni,'ealin,i;. until we were partiidlv ilrv. Then Iviiii,' down on our arms we waited for the stars to roll around.
About midnight all the bears in the State of MaiuL- seemed to have conj^re^ated on the mountain back of us, and the
roarin-. jiruntinif. and squealing I never heard equaled in an.v menajjerie. Sleep under any circumstances would have
been ditlieult in our ca.se. with that infernal racket it was impossible. With everv fresh outburst. Mose would jump to
his feet, mutter somethinjr about "dam bear." throw more wood on the lire, until the Hames leaped twentv feet in the air.
and then chop away until he had replenished his pile for the next stokinji. kjepin^ it up until the whole thing became
ludicrous to me. Every little while there would be the st.imp, snort, and indignant whistle, on the opposite shore,
of some deer kept from wetting the aforesaid whistle by th. bright light of our protective fire. Hut all disagreeable
as well as good things finally come to an end; and the first dear gleam of daylight saw us wending our wav back, this
time on the ridge, even Mose having had enough of the swamp. After demolishing all the grub we had brought with
us. and soothing our injured feelings with several pipes. I took a nap while Mose hunted up the boat. About ten
o'clock he woke me by saying he saw the boat adrift on the tamarack swamp side of the bog. Taking mv rotl. I went
about one hundred yards down the bog. where there was a grassy bank, and proceeded to -limber lip," to be in
readiness when Mose came with the boat. But Mose. who could never get over the mystery of putting a rod together,
stayed to see the operation, f had that heavy English rod — pole, it should almost be called — and "the famous blue
silk line, both of which you probably remember. Having adjusted my leader. I let the files fall in the water at mv
feet, where it was not more than a foot deep. As I stepped back to take hold of the butt of my rod. z-z-z-z-i-p-p-p went
the reel, and a few moments later Mose was taking off a fourteen-inch trout, which had had the impudence to take a
fiy within a foot of the bank. With three flies on. the first cast hooked two beauties, and the next cast gave me one on
each fly. Nothing but the toughness of that hea.y old rod and the strength of the silk line enabled me to land the
whole party. I then took otV two of the flies, and at every cast, standing in full sight on the bank, five to ten trout
would throw themselves completely out of the water, and I hud such trout fishing as I never even dreamed of. Mose,
standing in the water up to his knees, would land them, and take them off tlie hook, and toss them into a little

to overflowing with such a pile of g„Iden beauties as Fulton Market ne^er knew. There was not a fish iMuler fourteen

them were, the under jaw projecting far over the upper,- regular beaks; others with a corporation on them which
would have done honor to a member of fhe Fat Men's Club. L'pon looking at my watch, it was a quarter pas, twelve

smote me for taking so many, but we had carried then up to ca.np before counting them, and it was too late" to put
any of them back then. So we did the best we could to prevent willful waste, bv gutting them, building a smoke
house, and g.v.ng what wx- could not eat that day a smoking all that afternoon, night, and until noon th^ next dav
wherj we s arted Luk for Arnold. Mose had all the •' pack " he wanted, and said he had fully seventv-five pounds n

have caught all that c.uantity in the short time stated, an.l asked how large a nr, Mose had. Two davs later mv
brother and nephew wen, over to Mas.sachusetts with me. reaching there about noon. All that afternoon the lliree
rods were whipping the bog from one end to the other, from the shore and from the boat. an<l not a single rise could
any of us obtain. A.A of all kinds were the staple of conversation around the camp fire that night. " Needless to
say that Mose and I took no interest or part in the conversation. But the next morning, before the others were up. I
slipped down to the spot where I had caught all the first lot. and the first east gave me a stunner, tipping the scales at
four and one-quarter pounds. I woke ,he others up by flapping the cold tail in their laces. Fnside of half an hour
they took back al they had said about nets, and they only ceased catching the big fellows, which seem to be the onlv
kind .„ that bog, because we did not know what we should do with them. As it was, we sent in. or rather took in witii
us to Montreal, as we broke up camp the next day. close on to one hundred pounds of half-smoked trout, which were
a great treat to our fnends there, but who wondered whv we did not seem to care much for them

Such i.s my experience at Massachusetts Bog. If you want to know why, the afternoon of the first dav mv
brother was there, we could not get a single rise, I can only say that trout, like some women, are " queer critter^ " "l

have heard since tlie most contradictoiv -tories about this spot, some parties praisint; it in the most extravajjant
manner, wiiile otliers will dechue that tliere is not a single trout in the hog. Ot' one thing I am certain, there are no
small trout there, and the question is. What will we do when all these big ones are vanked out.' Another thing. I did
not see a single dark colored trout taken from the bog. all of them being the handsome golden striped trout, with ilesh
of an unusually- dark pink tint.

Now let me know how mv plain, ungarnished tale compares with what vou lieard from Mose and Joe Noel. I
e,\peel to see the hoys next month, when I shake off the dust of the citv for a month in the greenwood, and, if they
have said anylhing to stagger my reputation, 1 want to know it in time to get even with them.

In fishing in this pond, si»ortsnieii shonld 1)l' cari'fnl to ri-turn to the water all trout under ei<rht inches
in length, as plenty of iialf and three-(iuarter pound trout can he taken to supply the camp for a large
party in an evening or ii.orning's fishing; and with proper care the fishing in the bog can be made
even better, and the trout average larger. The writer has seen at one time the sickening sight of
nearly a bushel of trout of all sizes i)iled upo i the shore at the landing, in a state of decay, that had

excuse for tlie i<i!lin<? of tront under one-half pound in weight, unless the party is large, and the trout
happen to he running small.

One can have exeellent sport, and seeure all tiie tront needed for food, ity taking in a small
pair of spring balances, and not killing a single trout unless he brings the springs down to one-half,
three-quarters, or even a pound, according to t.'<c location when fishing ; and, if members of the Club
would adopt this i)lan, we could always be sure of good lishing. The taking of a few of the largest
trout, needed for the innuediate wants of camping parties, will not have a perceptible effect upon the
fishing ; but it is the killing of so many small trout that depletes the ponds.

Apart from its excellent lishing record, Massachusetts Hog enjoys the reputation of l)eing the best
resort for deer of any of the i)onds or Logs in the Upper Dead River or Seven Ponds regions, during the
summer months ; but the law makes it expensive to kill a deer l)efore the first of October.- It is verv
l)leasant to watch them come out upon the edges of the bog diwing the day ; and, if all firearms are left
in the camp, one can go out in the evening with a jack-light, and watch their movements. Often while
fishing in the early morning or after sunset, the click of the reel will startle a deer which has been quietly
feeding near by, and a whistle will l)e the first indication that game is at hand.

One of the tinest cami)s in the territory has lately been built at this place by the Club, and named
•' Camp Massachusetts." It is twenty feet wide and thirty feet long, made of spruce logs peeled. The
camp is furnished with a range and complete cooking utensils and camp furniture. It is located upon
the stream emptying the bog and (lowing into Arnold Pond, .about fifty rods from the foot of the bog, the
location being made here on account of a beautiful never-failing spring of clear cold water, and also on

.agues (at the end of the buekboard road), where the OKI Tote Road crosses from Canmla into .Maine
hrough to the camp, about two miles distant, so that a horse can be taken in with supplies, etc., or take

the "tenderfoot" from the buekboard to the camp.

There are also Iwo sn.all h-an-to's upon the hill, to the right of the trail, that will accommodate half

a do..e„ or more, also another lean-to at the head of the bog, at the commencen.ent of the trail leadin-

The months of August and early Septeu.ber are probably the best tiu.e for (ishing in this place, but
one can be assured of good fishing here all through the season.

There is a peculiarity aliont tlio trout in Hifj; Nortiiweist Poiul wortii ineutioninj^. Nearly all the trout
will he found to contain small pigmentary sjiots niinjiletl with the colored spots. Many Hportsnien h)ok
upon tiiem with snsi)icion. and thiniv the trout unclean on this account; hut it does not make the
8lij.ditest difference in the flavor of the trout, the spots are simply skin deep. The cause is? iniknown ;
the ])eculi!iritv is contiued to this pond, although an occasional one is taken out of Massachusetts Hog,
and quite often out of Horseshoe Tond.

Although the trout did not run large. — one pound nine ounces being tiie largest one taken, — they
made up in nnmliers ; very few tnnit wi-re hooked under half a pound. Only enough were saved to
supi)lv the camp, all the rest being carefully returned to the water as soon as caught. Many of the trout
thrown back were pounders, and over, especially of those caught in IMg Island I'ond. An estimate of
the size of those killed can be made by considering that the ninety-eight supplied the camp with fish for
eight days (two of these days the party numbered six, the remainder of the time three, with appetites at
no time very delicate). A good deal of our success was due to the excellent judgment of our guide, Mr.

the most southerly of the <iroup, a loufi narrow creeU : and from here the trail descends the Keniieliafio
Stream to the laive, some twenty miles distant. The camps jil l'>eav<'r I'ond are the property of .Messrs.
(irant iSI: Hichardson, the proprietors of the Kennelia<i() House, who have littcil them up with stoves,
cooking utensils, dishes, lilankets, and boats. The guides in tliis territory are |)ri\ileged to use them, — a
Huiall rental, which is very reasonable, being expected when occupied liy a party. l''rom the head of
Long Pond is a trail a little ovt'r ii mile long, leading in an easterly direction to

L I'oM),

which is only a few rods from Hig Island. This is one of the favorite ponds of the group, and the
second largest in size, — it is in shai)e like the letter L, — lying at the base of Boil Mountiiin, and in
close proximity to the Five Hound .Mountains and Snow .Mountain. The trout in this pond are very tine
and gamy, ami will average about three-(iuarters of a pound, and run from that up to two pounds. It is
a rare occurrenei' to hook a trout less than one-half pound in this pond. The bottom is very rocky,
covered with ledges, and the water cold and clear. The best (ishing ground is at the elbow and opposite
the boat landing. Mr. Kennedy Smith has a number of boats upon the pond ; and an old camp, built by

1 I

Mr. Doufilas, of Eiistis, used to stand nrar tlio landing, hut a large tree in falling oonipleti'ly destroyed
it, so that it is now unused. About as far north of J5ig Island as L Pond is south of it, lies

KocK Pond,

a small triangular body of water, connected by a trail with Big Island. It affords pretty good fisiiing.
Boats l)elonging to the camps at Big Island are to be found on the pond. A trail also connects tliis poiicl
with Massachusetts Bog, joining tiie Nortiiwest trail about midway between the two i)onds.
By far the largest and most beautiful of all the Seven Ponds group is

Bid Island Pond.

No better description of this charming place can be given than tliat written in the excellent little
"Guide Book to the Dead River Region," published by IMr. A. W. Robinson, of Boston,, which is
given verbatim : —

"On entering the clearing from the wood road, over which the trip from Tim Pond has been made,
seven log-cabins are discovered scattered around beneath the overhanging trees. These cabins are even
l)etter than those at Tim Pond, and are furnished the same, while the large diuing-cabin, which is located
near the center of the clearing, is very tastily decorated, and the tal)le all tliat could be desired.

" A cold spring sui)plies the camp with water, and a short distance from it a small l)rook has been
dammed, and conveniences for keejiing live trout arranged.

"Tiie clearing, the work of Mr. Smith, is situated at the southeastern end of the pond, on a slight
elevation, from which one of the finest views of this sheet of water and its surroundings is obtained.

" Stretching out before yon a distance of three miles are its bine milled waters, broken here and
there by sonic hnge ledge which rises above the snrface, while the surrounding forests closely line the
rough and rocky siiorcs.

'• Towering al)Ove the camp on the east is Snow Mountain, one of the highest peaks in Maine. It
can be ascended from the camp ; but as its sides are covered to the sunnnit with a thick growth of spruce,
hemlock, and pine trees, the trip is very arduous, and it is hardly safe to attempt it without a guide, as
there are no i)aths to aid a stranger. The view from the summit is grand, as the snrromiding country can
be seen for miles, and on a fair day the steamer on Lake Megantic can be discerned with the naked eye.

" Looking down the pond from the camp, the Boundary Mountains stretch along the horizon, and the
rounded slopes of Hoil Mountain are visible at the south.

"One is enthused with new life as he breathes the pure air and feasts his eyes on the Iseauties of
nature, spread like a [lanorania everywhere around.

"The trout in these waters are larger than in the rest of the ponds, and are very plenty, it not ])eing
an uncommon thing for an expert angler to land twenty-five or thirty pounds in a sIkmI time.

"The best fishing grounds are near the island and in the numerous coves around the shore, where
mountain streams pour their cold waters into the pond.

"For tly-lishing. the months of June and July are the best; but the trout rise through the entire
season, the most taking fly being the Hed Ibis. For deep fishing, the angler will find an excellent bait in
the shape of a small fish which the guides call a chub, and with which the pond is icked ; this liait
is also used for trolling, and, as the law forl)ids the use of a • spoon,' it will be found a very good
substitute."

nicely fitted up with sul)stantial camp
furniture, including stoves, which are
always comfortable during the evenings
all through the season, and fragrant
bough beds, while the dining cami) is
run equal to any of the first-class hotels

(ind these camps a pleasant adjunct to

description of tiie region, including the

Tiie t^ueen of the Waters will be found a standard fly all through the season. At some of the

MOOSE RIVER REGION.

IIS tract of territory lies to tiie cast of IIk ii rnational lioiindnrv. the
headwaters of the Moose Kiver arising just acixss the Cana<lian line. It
comprises some ten or fifteen townships in Franklin County, extending from
the l)oundary to ]Moosehead T.ake. and cmhraciiig tiie different ti'ihutarics of
the Moose Kiver, and a dozen or lifteen lakes. The Canadian racilic Hailwav
runs through the entire region, the road being already graded half-way to
Moosehead Lake, and by the ensuing fall will be completed, and the rails laid
to the lake.

It is a most prolific region for large game and trout, but. on account of its l)cing so easy of access,
the si)ort must soon deteriorate, although there al-e still a number of small lakes almost unknown ; and.
if the country could only be judiciously protected, a most valiialile preserve could l)e assured for
years to come.

All the streams and ponds teem with speckled beauties : and no l)etter region could be found for the
canoeist and sportsman tourist, as the region for over fifty miles can be run through with a canoe, with
very few portages. Small ponds completely dot the territory, commencing at the Canadian boundary and
extending to Lake Brassua, the last in the chain before reaching .Moosehead. Among the ponds now
mostly frequented are Boundary Pond, Iloleb and Attean Tonds. (piite near the rails, and the main
stream of the Moose River, which are all quite easy of access. The numl)er of si)ortsnien going into

A eonstrnetion train leaves the village of INIegantic everv morning at six o'elock, going to the end
of the rails; and, althongli the eontraetors do not care partienlarly to "bother" with passengers, all
sportsmen going into the region are eonrteonsly treated and given what aeeonnnodations there are. The
train retnrns to tiie laive everv evening, getting in lietwinm six and seven o'eloek.

A most deliglitfnl trip, and one now (piite often indulged in. is to take along a liireh eanoe and
launch it in the river, and jjroeeed down stream, camping at various stages, and fishing at the inlets of
the numerous tributaries, — very few portages are necessary; and the tri|) can be extended to Moosehead
Lake and down the IVnobscot Hiver to IJangor. A trip of this sort would use up about a fortnight, and
would alTord great sport in the way of fishing. . .

MEGANTIC FISH AND GAME CORPORATION.

PROSPECTUS.

Boston. Duct'inbor I. issn.

Diiir Sir: —

An eminent writer has said. "It heconies tli..- duty of every sportsman, when he discovers a new Kl Dorado,
to make Ivnown his ijood fortune to others of like tastes, provided tliere l)e room in tlie newly found region for all
who may come."

This may he taken as my apology, if such he needed, for addressing you concerning a territory which, tlu)Mgh
not wholly unknown, is comparatively new to most lovers of hunting and fishing, and which possesses such a weaHli
of attractions that it is eminently worthy of careful investigalif)n.

This territory of over forty thousand acres lies mainly in the eastern part of the Province of C^iiehcc, hut
extends into >[aine, containing a great numher of lakes and ponds, and immense stretches of forests. During a
residence of two years at Lake Megantic. and several vacation seasons since spent in that region. I have hail ample
opportunity to become thoroughly ac(itiainted with all the ponds and streams in the vicinity of .Megantic and Spider
Lakes, as well as the adjoining headwaters of the Dead River in Maine, and have often hecii greatly surprised at the
wontlerful abundance of fish and game in everv direction.

While participating with friends in the rare sport thus alforded, it was suggested that a societv ought to be
formed for the protection of the fish and game of ti:at region. The matter was frequently and fully discussed, and.
becoming convinced that there would be no lack of support from gentlemen who were fond of good hunting and
fishing, I approached the (iiiebee Government and the private landowners in Maine, for the purpo.se of leasing the
desired territory, so that it might be controlled and kept stocked and protected.

In this new enterprise, I received sufficient eiicounijjement to warriinl the iorniatioii of :i Fis/i and dame Club.
Arnini,'enients have been in:uie witii llie Crown Lands Department at (ijiel)ec for a lease of tlie Spider River and its
tril)Utaries, i.li other waters in tlie vicinitv, also Arnold IJoy and all that portion of the Arnold River belonging to
the Crown. These leases, together w ith some private leases of the Lower Spider River, Rush Lake, and the eastern
shore of Spider Lake, will give the Cluh complete control of the best fishing waters on the Canadian side of the
boundarv, while similar arrangements with private landholders in the contiguous part of Maine will control the
headwaters of the Dead River region, comprising lakes and ponds teeming with speckled trout, and already noted tor
the certaintv of good fishing at anv time of the season.

Speckled trout abound in the Spider River, Arnold River, Ru.sh Lake, and Lake Megantic; black bass in Spider
Lake; land-locked salmon in the I'pper Arnold River and Arnold Hog: lake trout or "lunge" in Lake Megantic;
and speckled trovit and lunge in the Dead River lakes. In the last season (l.s«(;). a lake trout weighing t-vi„ty pounds
was 'caught in Lake Megantic, and a speckled trout (genuine Sahno foiilimdh) weighing seven pounds was taken
in the Spiilcr River.

The I'pper Spider River is one of the most prolific trout streams in the Province. Two friends -caught in this
stream, with files, in the month of June, in less than two hours, scvent\-four trout, weighing in the aggregate
seventv-five pounds, six of the largest averaging four and one-half pounds each: also, three gentlemen, in a
forenoon's fishing, caught in this stream two hundred and fifty-two trout in August, 1S(<.".. The fishing in Lake
Megantic. although good at times, is verv uncertain, the tnost propitious months being Mav, June, and September.
Fabulous stories have been told of the size and number of fish caught in this lake at ditferei.t times, the following
well authenticated catch occurring under m.v own observation : A lady, in a September's afternoon of 1882, caught,
olV Rockv Point, thirteen trout, aggregating fifty-four pounds, the largest one weighing six and one-quarter pounds.

In speaking of the black-bass fishing in Spider Lake, a correspondent of the Sherbrooke Examiner writes:
"This lake afi'ords go,Mi biss fishing with bait, spoon, or tly ; and. with adequate protection, this sport could be
considerably increased. Two of us have taken with spoon, in two hours, twenty-eight bass, averaging three

pounds each."

The game suppiv in this territory cannot he surpassed, and it is expected thai the co-operation with the Cluh
of the authorities of the Province of (;,,ehec and Maine will result in the pro.eclion and perpetuation .,f one of the
most vahiahle large game resorts on the eastern portion of this continent.

Owing to the situation and formation of the lan.l, this locality is peculiarly adapted to the hreedin-r „r moose
caribou, and deer. From the Spiiler River, through to the Seven I'onds ;uul Magalloway River, there Cs one dense
forest, interspersed with mountains, small lakes, and bog.s. Large tract, of land bordering upon the waters have
been completely burned over, destroying the lumber, and leaving granite ledges exposed, with only soil enough to
grow the weeds and low shrubbery which large game feed upon. .\s the laud can never become arable, there Is no
danger that the game will ever be driven out by the advance of civilization. The situation is ,ip„n the watershed
dividing the waters which flow into the St. Lawrence from the headwaters of the .\tulroscoggin. Ma-all. .way, and
Kennebec Rivers in Mai.ie, about twenty miles from Kustis, Me., and eighty miles easterly from SheH.rooke," I'.tJ.
The elevation is nearly three thousand feet above the sea level, rendering it a most healthfursummer resort, esi)eciallv
for persons with weak lungs. It is distant four miles from Seven Ponds, twelve from Lake Parmachenee, three from
the Chain of Ponds, and a short distance by rail from the Moose River region, recently opened up by the construction
of the International Railway.

In the section to be protected bv the Club, the usual lawlessness, from habit, has hmg existed, and it is only
recently that the inhabitants upon the border have begun to be aware of the elHcacv of game laws. .Vs an illustration
of the wanton and wholesale slaughter indulged in heretofore,— also showing, incidentally, the abundance of game.-
let me cite a well authenticated case : In this region, in the winter of l,S(;i>-70. two lunUers, a white and an"lndian.
killed two hundred and sixtv-fue moose between January \-> and April 15, taking only their skins. An old hunter told
me last summer, with an air of pride, that fifteen years ago last June he killed in one night, in Rush Lake (now leased
to the Club), five moose, three of which were cows. Indeed, it is not necessary to go so far hack to find instances
showing the abundance of game here and the necessity of protection. f)nlv two years ago last April, two Krencli
Canadians killed, on premises now leased to our Club, six moose in one wJek, four of which were cows then ivitli
call; and only a year ago last June another French Canadian killed two moose in one night, in a small hog olV the

trtkinL' of fiinitle moose at any time until after October 15, 1M8H.]

Probably the most atrocious recent violation of game laws was the slaughter, by " still-hunting" and hounds, of
hundreds of deer, of which 2.700 poimds of himJ-quarters only were shipped to the Boston market, v,a K.ngheld, Me.,
in April of last vear. The fore-quarters were left in the woods. These deer vvere all killed (the greater number in
Maine) on the tenitorv now leaded to our CMub, an<l within six miles of the proposed Club House. It has heretofore
been a diflkult matter to protect game along either side of the international boundary, although the game wardens of
Franklin Countv, Me., and the Provincial bush ranger. Mr. Parker Nugle, have accomplished much good. Hut the
need of an International Fish and Game Club, in active co-operation with the Provincial and Maine authorities, is
verv apparent. The following extracts from the annual report of the Fish and Game Commissioners of Maine, just
published, will help to show the neci* of the case : —

the hunter. It is the destruction of the cows liy the crusthunter that is to lead to their utter extermination, if not summarily stoi)ped by tlie
enforcement of severe law.s."

There are not less than fifty deer killed annually at Spider and Rush Lakes alone, not including those captured
in the deep snow. In paddling up the Spider River, three miles and return, I have often seen six to eight deer feeding
upon the banks. Seven deer and t)ne moose were seen the same afternoon and evening, in going from Spider Lake to
the lower end of llathan Bog in Maine, a distance of five miles. Upon an average, six moose are killed every year in
Spider River and vicinity (last year, I personally knew of five, and this season, so far, six), besides what are taken in
deep snow by " crust-hunters."

The Canadian partridge and rutlled grotise abound throughout the territory, and alTord tine sport in the fall
months. Wild ducks are in great abundance during the migratory period, and a considerable number breed in the
region. This latter number could be greatly increased by sowing wild rice about the shores of the lakes, as at the
present tiine there is not much for ducks to feed on.

It i,s intended to build, at Spider Lake, a large Club House, containing forty or fifty rooms. A small steam
launch, now in constrtiction, will be placed upon Spider Lake for the use of members of the Club, and will connect
with the steamer on Lake Megantic. Hunting and fishing boats will also be placed upon Spider Lake and River, and
canoes and boats in the other streams and waters. An overseer has been appointed who will give his entire time to
the protection of fish and game, and who will receive appointments from the Dominion and Provincial Governments,
as well as aid from the Maine Commission. Four assistant wardens will be appointeii to assist the overseer at certain
seasons when lawlessness is most prevalent,— c.,.^'-., during the crust-hunting season in February, March, and April; at
such times, the wardens will systematically patrol the region in search of poachers. Again in Jime, July, and August,
their services will be brought into requisition to prevent the killing of deer by "jack-shooting," and a warden will be
camped at each group of ponds where that is now practiced. During the open season for hunting and fishing, these
wardens will be engaged in the prevention of unlawful fishing, netting, etc. Through such endeavors, and under
such protection, the fish and game must rapidly increase. It is estimated that, at the present time, the number of

123

i^sss^si;^^

deer killed in ami out of Kcason, in this region, does not equal the annual increase. What an amount of legitimate
sport mav he expected, when these are properly protected, niav he in\agined.

The Club will, tVoni time to time, as ma.v he found needful, restock the waters with trout and land-locked salmon,
although, with fair care and protection, the fishing will be good for man.v vears to come, and onlv two or three of the
lakes and streams will require immediate replenishing.

On account of the facilities for obtaining supplies, the members of the Club can be boarded in the Club House
at the low rate of $5.00 per week, or $1.00 per da.v, and at the latter rate in the various camps. The Club House will
be under the management of a com;ietent and experienced man, with housekeeper and servants, while the camps will
be fully equipped, and be in charge of the various guides.

The membership was at llrst limited to one hundred, but, that limit being nearl\- reached in a short time, it was
deemed advisable to extend the limit to one huiuhetl and fiftv. wit/i $.")() initiation fee and $l(t annual dues, or to go
farther and make it three hundred members, with $2.") fee aiul $.") annual ilues.*

It «as suggested that, if the latter be adopted, manv friends of game protection in the ■. icinitv of this region
would join and pav dues annuallv, for the purpose alone of carrving on the good work: and it is not the intention of
the Club to exclude reputable sjiortsmen bv fixing a high admission fee. These (piestions of limitation and fees will
be decideii at the annual TTieeting. to be held at the I'arker House, in Hoston, januarv 11, 1,SH7. Intending members
should at once apply to the provisional Secretary for application forms, sending them in remrn before the above
date, and stating their views upon the subject, if they wish to have a voice in the determination of these important
questions. It is important that as many members as possible may be registered before that time, in order that certain
improvements may be decided upon at that meeting, and that our game wardens may be put at work before the
commencei".ent of the close season !<)•• deer and moose, which will soon be at hand.

The admission fees can only bj used for improvements, such as building the Club House, camps, boats, trails,
and furnishings. The cost of protecting fish and game, continuing the leases, repairing buililings, boats, etc,
together with all running expenses, must be paid from the annual dues, every dollar f>f initiation fees going to provide
permanent improvements for the comfort of the members.

At the annua! meeting iu January, the Constitution, By-Laws, Rides and Regulations will be adopted, the

personnel of the Club elected, fish and game wardens appointed and confirmed, and all the general work of the Club

be put in motion. By that time, all the leases will be complete; and after the meeting a Cliih Guide Book \\\\\ be

* Finally inciirporiiti'd with a capital of i>2"),(KK), diviiled into five liunilrcd shares at $,")0 cacli, one shart necessary for inenilierslii|i, and

and, as a result, a Corporation was fornu-d umlcr tlic laws of the State of Maine, in
I'ortland, on Febriiarv Is, l,SH7, and ollicers and direetors eleeled for tlie ensiiiiif,'
vear. The charter in tlie rrovime of f^ieliee was ^'ranted on Mareli 2(1, 1887, the
capital stock of the Corporation heinj; fixed at $2r).()()0, divided into live hundred
sliares at $.-.() each. Since incorporation, nieelin.!,'s of the Board of J)irectors have been held as often as once a
month, and the fjencral machinerv of the Clul) set in motion.

Two 1,'ame wardens have lieen appointed on the Canatlian side of the houmlarv, and comiiiissioned hv the
(.^iieliec Oovernment (and latelv as tish <,'iiardiaiis also), and one warden in the Stale of Maine. These wardens
are employed continuously, their salaries beinsr paid tnonthh ; and it is their duty to see that no jjanie or tish is taken
out of season in the district, and to prevent poaching upon the Club preserves.

The most desirable waters in the rcijion have been leased, the leases running from live to ten vears, with the
privile.tje of esteiision.— the leased territory extendin;,' from Spider and .Me^'antic Lakes as far south as (and including
some of) the Seven Ponds in Maine.

Tlie Crown Lands Department of the Province of (|iiebec have leased to the Chib the exclusive fisliinf,' rif,'ht8
of all the inland waters in the township of Louise (20. .-.71 acres), which include the Spider River, and also, in the
unsubdividod portion of the township of Woburn. 10,811 acres, which include the headwaters of the Arnold River
and Arnold IJog. Leases made with private landholders in the Province include over two thousand acres frontinj,'

THE PROPOSED CLUB HOUSE. (From the Architect's Plans.)

upon Spider Lake (the wliole southern shore), Lower Spider River, Rush Lake, and tlie head of Lake Me.!,'antie. In
Maine, the leases are made witli the owners of townships. The whole territory covered hy the CIuIj's leases will
include over seventv-five thousand acres, or one hundred and twenty stpiare miles.

At the present time, it is inipossihle to lay down the exact litnits of the territory, as ncfjotiations t'or leases are
still in process of completion ; hut, hy the time of the next issue of this book, it will he possible to print in color
upon the map the Club preserves, showinj,' the exact boundaries. Hesules the leases, the Corporation has latelv pur-
chased a considerable tract of land n the township of Ditchlield, lying between Spider Lake and the township of Louise.

The impro-ements as laid out in the prospectus are bein.i; pushed ahead, the only drawback has been in the
selection of a location for the Club House, which has prevented this portion of tK- pronramme fro n beiiii,' carried
out. Early this spring, plans were made and submitted to the IJoard, and duly accepted. Tenders were a.^ked for,
and the contract all but awarded, wrth the full ex|)ectation of having the Club House completed bv the opening of the
shooting season, when dilliculties arose regarding the site, and, on account of the deep snow, the choice of the location
was deferred till the ice went out. At the stockholders' annual meeting, held in Portland in Mav, it was decided
to award the contract as soon as the site was tixeil upon, and a committee was chosen to ne;,'otiate for the land.
The committee visited Spider Lake a week or two after the ice went out, and their choice lay between one of two
locations: but the land was held at such an exorbitant figure, the committee did not feel disposed to recommend the
purchase, and, a (piestion having arisen concerning Ihe title, matters are still jiending, with the chances in favor
of delaying the erection of the building until too late for occupancy the present season.

When the first chapter of this book was written, it was fully expected the Club House would be ivadv bv the
time the book was out ; and it is to be hoped that the arrangements will soon be completed, and the work go on.
The plans as accepted provided for a building one hundred feet long, including the piazzas: the body of the iiouse
seventy-six by thirty-two feet; three stories and an attic; the first Hoor divided into a spacious dining-room, hall,
reading-room, billiard hall, and cloak room, with large, open, old-fashioned stone fireplaces in the dining-room, hall,
and reading-room: the second and third floors c'.ivided into twenty-four bedrooms, ten bv twelve feel,— the kitchen,
storerooms, and apartments for employees being in a separate building.

their yomii;: hut, in a territory where deer are so plentiful, sm 'i Ici^islation is unMeces>cirv. The orilinar\ s|)ort^lnan
will not shoot a doe in Septemher. as they ar^ not lit to eat, while the hucks :ire in excellent condition: and the
thinning out of a few ol' them in Septemher. when they can he hunteil in the vicinity of the waters and with
comparati\e ease, is not deleterious to the propajifation of the species.

The professional or husiness man cannot as a rule remain in the wr)ods after Octoher, as the reipiircments of
husiness demand his retiiri' to the cit\: hut he can icenerally •,a't a lortniiflit as late as Septemher, when he may
expect fair success at lisliinjj, and the pleasure of deer liunliriL; oui;ht not to he denied him.

not make the same law apply to docs, or ilurimi the month ot' .'•■.cptemher. makiiii; the month open t'o'- hucks,- In
Maine, the host jirotected State in the Inion, the repeal of the law makini,' Septemher a close month uas nearlv
passed last winter, and puhlic sentiment is fast leaninjf in that direction. — that the law in Stptemher is mii,'
unnecessary. N'ery hitter complaints are made hy hoth sportsmen and settlers in the eastern pcntion of (.J^iichec.
and during the next parliament a memorial will he presented on hehalf ot' making Septemher an o|)en month.

At the same time the amendment to the game laws in (^lehec was passed, a most iudicious measure was adopted,
prohihiting the taking of moose (male or female; a/ niiy time previous to Octoher. \s'M\. The moose is hecoming
extinct fast enough, the territory now included in the Cluh inesi"\e alinig the international houndaiv heing almost
the last resort of these nohle animals in that section of the ••ou'.;:;,' : and. although within the last two vears moose
have hecome a little more numerous, this law will he the means, if properly enforced, ot' giving the moose a chance to
predominate in the region once more. Since the appointment of the Cluh game wardens, the verv encouraging reports
have come in that " so far not a single moose has heen killed since the close season commenced," although in former
years they were killed h}' the score every season hy crust-hunters.

The Club Directors have aulh.nitv U. make their own f.sh and ,.;a,ne laws governing mentbers upon the Club
tcrrito.;, .1;,'. it is expected that not only the State and Provincial laws.^bu. the Club rules w.ll be thoroughly obse.^ed
and enforced by all its members.
