The monks probably brought it over to England by whom it was highly es- teemed as an article of diet as is evidenced by its being found in the moats surrounding the ancient mon- astries. “From Europe it was intro- duced into America some years ago, and has been widely distributed by the Government." It is remark- able for its longevity (it is believed to attain the age of 100 years or more) and also for its cunning. Isaak Walton, that great authority on the gentle art of angling, called, it [the Freshwater Fox, because of its clev- erness in evading capture, How the idea of its being destructive to other fish originated Ido,not know, but some two or three years ago, if my memory serves meright (I stand op- A' DISCIPLE 0F ISAAK WALTON COMES TO DEFENCE 0F CARP The pallbearers were his two bro- thers, Mr. Gardener and Dr. Herbert Eyres, and Messrs.

Examiner : ”Give a dog a bad name and then hang him," or rather, “give a fish ahad name and then destrOy it." is a proverb that can be applied to the carp, judging from the con- demnatoxy remarks passed upon this species of fish by “Deckhand,” in a recent issue 0! the Examiner. Were there apiscatorial court where this much maligned fish could enter an action for dafamation of character, I think it would stand a good chance of securingheavy damages. As, howâ€" ever, Mr. Carp is unable himself to clear the stigma attached to his name, I should like to take up the cudgels in his defence. A number or :he ciosest associates of the deceased were unable to be present as they are scattered throng out the Dominion. They all, however sent messages breathing the deepest sympathy and regret to the parents. (From Tuesday's Post) . The funeral of the late William P. Eyers took place this afternoon from the family residence, Adelaide-st. to i Riverside cemetery. The esteem in which the deceased was held was attested by the throngs who visited the house during the past few days, and took a last look at one WhOSe death is deeply deplored on all sides. Another tribute of respect and love was evidenced in the large gathering of friends who gathered at the house this afternoon where impressive and affecting funeral services were conduc ted by Rev. J. P. Wilson, of the Cambridge-st. Methodist church. Afâ€" terwards the cortege proceeded to the Riverside cemetery where the rc- ; mains were laid at rest. 7‘ ‘ _ ”Bu-Nv- ._ -.___...__.

Some- how or other the reservoir burst and the fish escaped, making their way into the Holland River and Lake Sim- coe, and so travelling south in the Trent Canal. I don't think there is the slightest danger of the stock of fish in these waters becoming depleted by the adventtof the'carp. Being her- bivorous, the wild rice may probably suffer. The carplis only at home n muddy, stagnant waters, and I ven- ture to assert that git will not be found in appreciable numbers except where these conditions prevail". It will not thrive in clear or running wa- ter. I have caught many carp,. but never found them except in stagnant ponds and ancient moats in England, where they were probably placed hun- dreds of years ago by the monks. Rice Lake, with its beds of wild rice and mud will be an ideal breeding place for this species of fish. As to its esculent qualities, about which there is considerable prejudice, that is merely an individual taste. Proper- ly cooked the carp is “O. K." The monks of oldâ€"traditional epicures as they were. evidently did not despise it. It is largely eaten by the Jews and itsmarketatle value in Toronto, is, I am told, somewhere in the neigh- borhood of 10 cents per lb. From a sportsman's point of View, too. the pleasure of having a, battle with this Reynard of the water, will give as great a thrill of excitement as a lunge or bass. They often attain a weight of 8 or 10 pounds, or more, and I did hear of one being killed at Balsover. below Kirkfield, that weighed 25 lbs. Th 3, however, like most iishermen's yarns, should, I think, be taken “cum granu salis” Until positive evidence is produced oi the carp's guilt, let us adfudge him innocent of the criminal propensities with which he is charged.
