A Lr•CAt Streit BUILDER_ -A few days
ago we were shown a racinggehell made by
our young townsman Mr. Graham Moor -
'louse. The boat is a paper one, 28ft.
3 in. in length, depth 54 in., breadth of
beam 13 in., with a 24 inch slide. Mr.
Moorhouse will have the shell complet-
ed in a few days, and the friends of the
maker are'eager to see her afloat. Gra-
ham is only an amateur in boat building,
and shaped and put the shell together at
odd hours during the winter. He had
trio patterns to go by, but feels confident
that she will float like a duck.

with silk and embroidery, were donated

A REMARKABLY Dao APRIL. --The lack
of rain in the proverbial showery April
has been the' cause of much comment.
A visit to the Toronto Observatory dis-
closed the fact that no rain was recorded
up to the 25th of the month, when a few
dmps fell during the afternoon. The
total rainfall up to Saturday last, the
end of the month, amounted to 0.075 of
an inch. „ The small aniount which fell
or the 25th was the first rainfall during
April last year was pretty heavy. having
been 3.12 inches. The wettest April
previously recorded was that of 1850,
when the fall recorded was 4.72 inches,
and the driest in 2879, when the fall was
0.09. Other dry Aprils recorded were
those of 1863 and 1871, when the rain-
fall was 0.99 and 0.98 inches respectively.
Other very wet Aprils recorded were
1865 and 1873, when tate figures were
397 and 3.98 inches respectively. The
average rainfall for April during the
past 40 years, has been 2 4.3. -[Ex.

Now that the falling season has open -
el, by all means let the fishing be done
fair and square. On no account buy bah
and carry tl:Nm home. Such a proceed-
ing is contemptible; besides, better t'tah
can beobtained just as cheapon the Lon-
don market. Also, when describing the
size of the fish you actually caught avoid
holding your hands more than six in-
ches farther apart than you really
should. Neither should you run your
left hand up the sleeve of your right
arin to the elbow, when it should only
be about the wrist. It is an actual fact
that in the whole creation, animate and
inanimate, the hardest thing to describe
without exaggeration is the length
of a fish, and the greatest temp-
tation to resist is the purchase of a few
fish by the average fisherman as he is
about to start for home, so as to stake
something if a show among his friends
on his return.
"Three fishers went into a corner e'.esr,
Where the boy. motel round and room was

THE FIRST ARRIVAL.
A 1411r l'aswed by Mr Arrival of the First
Sews?! •f the Seawall.
Coleridge's Ancient Mariner, had he
been looking off the harbor during the
past few weeks, could have said with
truth :
"The lee was here. the Ice was there,
Thil lee was all around."
Old lake sailors looked gruesome as
they gazed upou the white, shining rtes11
of ice which fur so many months had
covered the bosom of Lake Huron, and
which in our bright, sunny May weather
showed no sign. of disappearing. On
Tuesday it was reported that the Joseph-
ine Kidd, owned by the enterprising
proprietor of the International Salt
Works, was Doming up from Sarnia, and
some of the old heads shook their pows
as they remarked :
'Taint no eta of them a-tryin' to
come in through all that ice. Omani
they'd be purty sick a-tryin' 'gainst they
get in."
On Wednesday an off -shore breeze
loosened the ice, and things looked more
like a possibility of an arrival in port.
Late in the afternoon the black sinnke
of the propeller was seen in the distance,
as the sturdy little vessel struggled
through the fields of ioe.
After landing at the International pier,
and unloading her cargo, the boat start-
ed for the harbor, and gave an exhibition
of -her powers of cutting through the ice
by shooting right through an immense
utaae which intervened between the
Works and the wharves
A large number of persons were on the
pier, and as she steamed up the harbor
many were the commenta on the first ar-
rival.
"She cuts through the ice lake a daisy,"
said a fisherman with a red chin -whisker.
"She'll never tug Limit on Lake Hu-
ron in a storm ; the raft will haul her
back," put in a well known salt manu-
facturer, as he eyed her critically.
"Don't you be afraid," remarked a
grizzly looking habitue of the wharf. as
he squirted a mouthful of tobacco juice
over the pier, "She's just able to do it
every titre."
The tug was quickly boarded by the
anxious throng which had assembled on
the pier and was pretty thoroughly ex-
amined.
A SIONAL reporter elbowed his way
through the crowd, and saluted Mr.
Joseph Kidd, whu was on board, with
the enquiry:
"Well, how did you get along on the
trip, Mr. Kidd?"
"We had a tough time of it. We kept
pretty well inshore, 'and I am about
thinking of sending in a bill to the
Government for surveying the coast."
After s laugh all around at this bit
of drollery, Mr. Kidd went on to say:
"The boat is nut just what I wanted,
but as I couldn't get what I desired I
took the best I could get. I needed a
tug to stand by my vessels at the Inter-
national pier,, and this will answer all
the purposes of a tug, and I can use it
fur passenger traffic; in excursions, etc.
We just unloaded a cargo of hoops for
barrels in my salt business. I intend
having the vessel considerably improved,
A new cabin will be built on the upper
deck with staterooms, and she will be
repainted and called the Jtttephine Kidd,
after one of my daughters.
Mr. Kidd, who looked like a cheerful,
hearty Commodore, seemed to feel proud
of his vessel being the first arrival of
the season.
