Cable bad seven tents, con sisting of a commissary tent, adining tent, a storage tent, ladies' tent, gen tlemen's teat and one for the Indians. The dormitory tent had an addition in the way ot a aitting or lonngtng piace. ine aormitory rents bad elegantly arranged cot in them. tor several days previous to the opening of the camp Ur.

The meals he furnished in that wild and romantic wilderness were most sumptuous and of a bijrh grade. George M. Eckels, of Chicago, a brother of the United States comp troller 01 me treasury, nas in is to say 01 me trip: "Mr. Cable is an ideal host. He knows just what to do on an outing trip. We went forth from oar camp daily on the river to fish, and the party was vtry successful. He is an expert with the rod and reel, and can catch Bah at his will. . "Our camp was near Hamilton Pool. An island in the river at that point causes the formation of two immense pools. The trout stsy in them and go into the rapids for iooa. Boaae SplaadM Caleaan. Our catches of trout averaged iwo ana one-ban pounds a Osh, and we landed none that weighed lets than one pound. Mrs. Fremont, of our party, caught 16 pounds io two double casts. Our largest weighed over five pounds and was 2.5 inches in length. They are the gamiest trout I ever saw, full of lite and full ot tight. "Mr. Webb, who Is one of the most skillful casters I ever saw, landed a beautiful 5-pounder after a full half hour. He used a 6 -ounce rod. For bait we used the Jack Scott, silver doctor and thunder and lightning flies. You see, the true sportsman doesn't use live bait up ta.ro. my uroiaer, ,1. u. eckcis. may know considerable about cur reocy, but he is no fisherman. Why, he couldn't tell when a trout had his hook. I held his rod for him and endeavored to teach him. bat I gave up. He got a double once and one oi the trout got away and be blamed a guide for it. The Indiana mount a good many fish.
