CAN'T BE REPEATED.
A number of Clinton citizens went
out for a few hours' fishing yester-
day afternoon in the vicinity of Ben -

led trout. One of the trout measured
fourteen inches, this was caught by
Mr. Wan. Robinson, but others mea-
sured ten and ten and a half inches.
Now don't drop this paper and grab
your rods, all ye sportsmen. It takes
skill to land the speckled ones, luck
cones to but few.
BASEBALL NOTES.'
A number of Clinton fans accom-
panied the baseball team to Zurich on
Thursday evening and saw the latter
team pile up a score of five against
Clinton's two. The game was coning
Clinton's way until the seventh inning
but something went wrong and their
luck changed.
This was an unlucky quarter of
the moon for the Clinton baseball
team, anyway. They lost to Crediton
on Tuesday in a score of 5-2, Had
they had the luck to win from Zurich
on Thursday last and from Crediton
on Tuesday it would have put them
in a good position in the League,
