HARPOONING TARPON.

A Royal Sport That Appeals to Bots ifunters and Fishers.

A writer for Outing tells about the sport of striking tarpon.

“The grains is a double pronged Avrought iron instrument, the prongs usv- ‘ally not more than 3 or 4 inches in| length, and from three-sixteenths to three-eighths of an inch thick. Sirong’ barbs are sprung an inch from the deli-' tately sharp, hardened points, having a‘ spread of three-eighths of an inch and

“‘On approaching the tarpon run the sails and mast are stowed, and the guide uses a pole in the shallow water and sculls in thechannel. A fish being seen, the striker indicates its direction, and, standing in the bow with widely spread legs, leaning well back, with spear, the man waits till he is within 20 fect, unless he is unusually powerful, then hurls the weapon, which shoots With a hiss into the water. 4

Cromwell kept a stable of fine horses. “As good a Protestant as Oliver Crom- well’s horse’’ was a common saying in England long after the death of the great lord protector.

There is excellent reason to believe that the cavalry horses of both the Greeks and Romans, and perhaps the working horses, had some protection for the hoofs, brt ite exact hature has al- ways been a matter of controversy.

One of the most peculiar banquets ever celebrated was the ‘‘great united Franco-Anglo-American horse, mule and donkey banquet,’’ where the flesh of the three kinds of animals was served in mauy styles. This famous feed was on april 3, 1874.—St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat.
