Lawrence, Mass.. April 3. Tw hundred miles nortli of wliere th great -.tidal currents seethe aloU: the fogerowned cliff3 of Belle Is! strait, Hamilton River runs broad an' deep to the sea, emptying into Haa; ilton inlet, an estuary which cua Eit; miles into Labrador and eompletel: eats off from access by land the upper third of that little known strip of territory from its southern portion. IV yond Hamilton, inlets still further to ward the arctic regions, scores of rig oreus, brimming streams, fed by tin mountain Springs of the interior, come pouring into- the fords and bays of the rocky coast. It has remained for a Massachus etts man, C. W. Russell, of this city, to discover that in these wild, lonely streams of Labrador is to be had thr finest trout and salmon fishing on th continent. He has tried it in air weathers and in all circumstances and he knows. Armed with rod and camera he has penetrated the wild where never white man had been be fore and has found such snort as only a thorough and enthusiastic sports man and lover of nature in her wildest and roughest manifestations can appreciate. Mr. Russell has been to Labrador several , times and has quite lost his heart to the country. He says no one who has not explored its fastnesses in person can have any idea of its beauties and charm. He has traveled by steamer and schooner and on foot with his half-breed Eskimo guides along some 1,200 miles of coast, and is full .- of enthusiasm regarding its natural resources,, its many varieties of fur-bearing animals, its vast timber lands and its mines, bearing iron, copper, antimony and gold. Planning Another Trip. He is now preparing for a more extensiveexploring expedition than he has ever taken before and will be away all summer. He win start north as soon as the ice begins to break up and expects to add largely to the sum total of knowledge of which he has alf ready acquired. ' This time Mr. Russell will take with him a powerful motor launch, with which to explore the coast rivers and inlets and even to penetrate the practically unknown interior. Mr. Russell is particularly enthusiastic about the fishing. He describes one stream of many which, until he cast his flies over them, had never, as far as is known, been fished before by a white man. This particular little river, unnamed as yet, comes tumbling down from the hills, with many rapids and cascades and finally plunges over a fine fall directly into the ocean. Its waters are literally alive with trout, big, fat, gamy fellows, able to put up a good battle and of the finest flavor in the world.

For decades the fisherman has been

slowly pushing his way eastward and northward. First it was Maine and

then New- Brunswick. Then Nova Scotia lured him, and not so very, long ago the wilderness of Newfoundland

opened fresh fields of adventure. But

in Labrador Mr. Russell has penetrated further thaa ever. This especial stream is hundreds of miles away from any connection with civilization. A sportsman who fishes there must be one who has graduated from home ; sports and has learned from experience the necessities of life in the wilds where no assistance is obtainable and where his only compan-

nship must be that of a native nde, who must be taught rather than ach. He is beyond the reach of iNiical aid in case of illness or accimt He must have the knowledge f self support in every particular and :ive the physical strength to withand unusual hardships which, are ible to confront him. Alt on the Back. He must take with him every detail f sporting outfit, as the nearest base I' supplies is a thousand miles away, sd they must be of a weight that can a carried on his own back, as there a no other means of transport after a leaves a navigable stream. His utfit is not a Question of how much e would desire but how little he can et along with. He must have the proper knowledge f the habits of fish to enable him to ocate suitable fishing places without oss of time. He must be willing to land midthigh deep in ice cold water, rattling with, the big, strong fellows, vhile the reel sings and the rod bends Ike a bow and not fail to land the raarry. When he can do all these hings, then let him. try his hand at rout, fishing in Labrador, but not be"ore. - t -i , Hiring a fish boat of a native, Mr. iussell sailed up a fiord to the mouth f the stream, where camp was made. "I showed my book of flies and my cd to my guide to see whether he bought them suitable for Labrador rout. He shook bis bead and observed that a seine was much better," said Mr. Russell in telling of his experience. "Never before having seen a fishing

rod or artificial flies the guide con

cluded that trout down in the United , States must be very foolish- to allow '. . . 1 A . . I . . '

memseives tu u cuugni wiia anything like that. "Approaching the stream I saw a pool that looked like one in a sportsman's dream, and when I cast my first fly I got s strike that almost pulled me off the rocks Into the water. I landed the trout, which was a threepounder, after a tussle aad then got right down to work. I had two hours of the finest sport I ever enjoyed in my life, not to speak of the antics of my guide with the landing net. who made me laugh, so that I nearly fell into the pool. Eighteen in One Pool. "When I had caught eighteen trout averaging three pounds each I stopped although I could have kept right on pulling them out. I took the whole catch out of one pool. What was the use of catching more? There were fish enough for a week, and a true sportsman will not destroy unnecessarily even in Labrador, and when he is the first American to wet a line there. "We made a new camp near the pool and enjoyed natnre in all her loveliness, watching the pretty seals in the morning, as they swam up the stream after a breakfast of fish, and listening to the wild notes of the ducks and geese which make this their breeding ground. "We slept with our rifles at our sides, ready to repel an attack by bear or wolf, while the camp fire crackled and I dreamed of the busy world so many hundreds of miles away which only knows of the marvels of the north when it reads a few words like

these from a man who has dared to go forth and cast his flies in a virgin stream in an unknown land. ' "Going again Well I should say so. When a man hears the eail of such a wild as this there is nothing on earth that will stop him."

Relics of Days of '76 To Be Sold at Auction Famous Polly TowrtscncTs Home at Oyster Bay to Lose Its Furniture, Ware and Curios of the Revolution.

TABLE AT WHICH MAJOR ANDRE WROTE A SONNET

Within the next month there will take place an auction of Revolutionary relics contained within the famous Townsend mansion at Oyster Bay which doubtless will attract the attention of individuals and societies interested in the collection of bona fide souvenirs of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. ;It was ia this mansion that the famous Polly Townsend,: a beauty who was- the toast cf every King's regiment ever quartered at the Bay during the stormy period of the Revolution, held her court and where the British officers wrote on the glass panel over the front door with their diamond rings "Sweet Polly Townsend" and other kindly expressions,, which: are as legible today as they were in 1776, when they were written. The rambling structure is almost the same today as it was during: the Revolufion, when the officers of Slav coe's cavalry paid their court to th

peerless Polly. The front door, through which Major Andre passed just before he went on his ill fated expedition, to Tarrytown, with its huge brass knocker surmounted by an eagle and bearing the name "Townsend," stands as stanch as it ever did. The floor of the main parlor to the right made of strong oak planks highly pal ished,' is just as it was when Polly received her guests, among- whom were many of the test known public men and soldiers of the -day.'- It was hero that Polly aided the fleeing Continental officers after" the disastrous battle of Long Island, when- it seemed as if the cause of the patriots were lost, 1 Fastened to the waif Is the same quaint sideboard where- Polly kept her sliver and tableware; with Its diamond shaped windows and delicate frame

work, kept together wttfr wooden pegs; Opposite -stands a bookcase coatanv ing as- rare a coQeetion of books as ever gladdened the heart- of a collector. Here are volumes of the Spectator," which; the fair Polly wast wont to read in her- spare moments, and the welt thumbed Bible' with marginal notes, brought over by Samuel Townsend' from England i 1803, stilt attracts. There are worka-of tne eigi teenth century poets and plays by Wycherly, Addison, Congreve and others. Some of the hooks show the effects of wear, for the property since the death of Miss Townsend, a year ago, has been m want of attention. The house is well stocked with antiques which should bring a fair price under the hammer. There- is a chest of drawers which is at least two hundred years old sad which is still a serviceable- as it was the day it was brought from England. There are old chairs aad tables numerable, several of them being children's chairs datiag back to 1709, in which as children the women of the Townsend family sat and ate their patties. Several' writing desks and caskets inlaid with gold and pearl which were in daily use long- before George Wastttagtoa was heard of by his country men, stand in the main hallway. In a corner and covered with, mat are several of tile long: flintlock rifles used by the Townsend boys- when they

fought the battles: of their country hi 1776. The weapons are still in a remarkable state of preservation, although they show the- effects of hard service. With the weapons Is an American flag made during- the Revolution after the pattern adopted by Congress, composed of stripes of white and red Hnen sewed together, with a blue background ia which thirteen stars are clustered. Several' stars were subsequently added, for the flag did service during the War of 1812.

A center table of Mack, wood of

high, polish, at which Colonel S'uncoe wrote his dispatches to his command

ing officers in New York and at which Major Andre wrote a sonnet to his sweetheart in England, stands in the front room. The bricks taken in 182o from the chifney which stood in what is now the hallway were used' in the buildin? of abutments for the now almost dls mantled iron fence, which in 'its day was the wonder of the countryside. The vari-colored glass of the dome by means of which the hallway is lighted, is of the early nineteenth cer. tury pattern. In the rehabilitation of the mansior the glass panel in the front door, up on which the British officers wrot with their diamonds their tributes t Polly Townsend, was removed an' placed over the doorway leading to a addition to the structure. The chiroraphy is bold and on the whole neat' done. Whether this will be sold is r yet a mooted question. In the dining room there is a weal , of ancient plates, dishes, tea pots, cups, etc. One copper teapot has boon in the Townsend family since the latter part of the seventeenth century, while several articles of Delft ware came from Holland about 1720. There are also dishes of the Revolutionary period china cups and saucers, gravy dishes and the like. What is to be done with the family pictures has not yet been determined, but it is likely they will be preserved by the five Townsend boys who live in New York and at Oyster Bay. There are many bits 'of eighteenth century script and books of account of the Towpsend ancestors which are extremely curious. The contract between the Continent.

These links, it is said, will not be sold, but will be presented to the New York Historical So ciety or to the United States government for preservation at West Point, where their brothers are preserved.

Ths First Derby. The first Derby was run in the Isle of Man and not on the Epsom downs, as is generally supposed. The narrow strip of crisp and springy turf which separates the bays of Derbyhaven aad Castletown was the scene of the initial Derby, and it is still known as the , "race course," though no races have been held there for at least 100 years. For a long time the patch of ground has been used as s golf links. It was in the year 1021, when the Earls of Derby were still lords of Man, that the order was issued establishing these races. It was also directed that the Derby plate, to which the earl contributed handsomely, should be competed for every year at Easter on tho race course at Castletown. Here the Derby took place with regularity every year until the year 1780, when the present event was founded by Edward Stanley, the twelfth Earl of Derby. -

Besides the buds, the stems are gathered aad form an article of commerce, commanding one-fifth the price of cloves and having about the sasse percentage of strength.
