Fairness In Fishing.

Between men who fish for fish and those who fish for sport there is an irreconcilable difference. The former is merely a killer, while the latter is a chivalric adversary who pits his skill with rod and reel against the strength of the fish under conditions which give the latter a fair chance for his life.' Anglers of both of these general classes figure Numerously among the visitors to the great national park of the Yosemite. The fish-killers appear to have predominated, however, and their greed has persuaded the government to modify the park regulations relating to fishing. Heretofore a visitor was permitted to take a maximum of 50 fish a day from the waters of the park, but it has been ordered that henceforth the daily limit for an angler shall be 20 fish. A most commendable order. The fish inf the Yosemite are large and full of fight ,and 20 a day are enough for any right-minded sportsman.
