MB. FERGUSON'S METHOD OF FISH HATCHING
A SUCCESS?FBOrESSOR rA.IRD'8 EXPECTA
TIONS AS TO THE SPAWN OF COD FISH AND
iucuui. uw.
The new method of fish hatching, devised for the
most part by Mr. Ferguson, the Fish Commissioner of
Maryland, and put in practice lor the first time this
year under the auspices o: Professor Baird, the
present Secretary o! the Smithsonian Institute, has
proved so sucoesslal that Prolesaor Balrd
believes It can be u^ed to batch the
spawn ol cod fish, mackerel and other sea
Ashes, and thus to very greatly and rapidly Inorease
their numbers and establish them at points near our
coast, wbero now thoy are Dot found. Mr. Ferguson's
method requires no ruunlng water, and can bo aua
has been operated this year on tide wator on Chesa
peake Bay, and on the wutcri of Albemarle Sound;
over twenty-five millions ol shad huvo been
artificially hatched this year and distributed
all over the country to stock stream*. A largo ship
ment went Irom tbis city to Sacramento to-night to
Etock tbo Sacramento River, and a part of the young
fish will be dropped at tho Green River, which Is one
ot the tributaries ol the Colorado. The. hatching Is
done In scows and by the holo ol a steam engine,
which Is used to agitate the water In the vossels which
contain tho eggs. This gentle but constant agitation
Is found to answer precisely as woll as the more elab
orate apparatus used hitherto. Proicseor Baird saye
he has bod sulllciont experience ol this new method
to warrant the belief mat with a steamer of moderate
size to replace the scows, which sro not seaworthy,
he could hatch out with certainty an almost unlim
ited number of cod, mackerel and sea herring; fish
which spawn at certain seasons in the open eea, near
the oast, and which when caught In the spawning
. season would yield, for such purposes, so great a
quantity of oggs, from but few individuals, that tbelr
number could with case be prodigiously ancreased,
with tbe help of a steamer properly fitted. The young
fish could be dropped by millions at cenvouienl
points near our own coasts, aud it bocomes thus pos
sib.c to create artificially, and at but a trifling oxpen-e,
uew cod banks at points Isr more accessible for our
fishermen than the Ne wloutidlin.l Banks.

hill, the pending question being ou the amendment ol
the Committee on Appropriations increasing the ap
propriation for Improving the month of Ked River,
Louisiana, irom $00,000 to $100,000.
Mr. Morrill, (rep.) of Vt., spoke In opposition to
the nmeudment, and during his romurks said be had
great confidence in the Engineer Corps of the army,
but II Congress should follow the reoummendations ol
these army engineers the Treasury would not be able
to staud the draiu upon It. lie hoped some of the
appropriations In this bill would be reduced to such
au amount that reasonable meu coma support it.
Mr. Saulsblry, (dem.) ot Del., also opposed the
amendment, and said be wae willing to appropriate
mouey to improvo tbo rivers and harbors which
would bo ol booellt to the oommeroe ol the country,
but appropriations for' mere looal improvements
should be withheld.
Alter some Iurthor discussion the amendment was
agreed to. /

priation. He said be was not able to concur
with tho cotnmittoe in reporting this bill to the
Eeuate, sod therefore was not ablo to aot as tha
orgun ot tbo committee as he should do. He
behevod many ol the appropriations In this hill
were Impracticable, not leusiblo nor judicious. Ho
buiievod that mo treasury was in no condition to sub
mit to such a drain as this hill proposed. According
to the constitution Congress had no more right to
ma Kc many ol these appropriations than it bad to build
a mansion for a .Senator. In tho ponding ease the
amount suould bo tell at $12,000, as appropriated by

Mr. Coxru.no, ol New York, said bo would line to
vote for tbis atnenumoni to save money, but tbe itifU
cuiiy was tbat it mined upon tbe Just and unjust
alike. It established a horizontal reduction. How

Here waa it river and harbor bill appropriating over
$9,000,000 and ibe Senate shrinking irom the re

About the evo of tho Centenalul Exposition, when
amor putrid lot ltsolf loose sud searched the heavens

to accomplish tho sentimental idea ol a unttod aud
happy people, North, South, East sod West, the Ceu
icnniut o am bake was established on the shores ol
tho harlcm River. Its underlying motive was to
bring together once s year people who represented
all classes oi New York society, irrespective ol social
or poluioai position, und huvo them meet lor a lew
brio! hours as common citizens ol ono great nation,
sud Id friendly social Intercourselorgct all differences
ol political thtnkiug and Ignore all artificial inequali
ties of soai'al station over the neutral clam. The
scheme was oiiilhently successful, und though ysster
day the members ol the Centennial Clam Buke Asso
ciation 'wero not all represented in person, there
was s sufficient attendance of outsiders well kuown
lu various walks ol lite in Now York city to make
ample amends lor the lack of full representation on
the part of the members of the ussootuuou. The clam
hake wis held in a grove to the south ol Uabe Case's
bos elry ou JcrOnte uvouu., and tho origiuai luteu
tiou was that It should oome oil iu tho open ulr, with
the zephyrs singiug through the branches ol the
youthiui elm trees aud with the green grass growing
all rouud lo sharpen the appetites ol the nobis h ind of
clam eaters. There wua no uet-d lor any such stimu
lant. ana as the rain came on just about ffvo o'oloc*
the managers ol tho oake saw auyihing line an ul
fvttco lecd would provo u failure, so ibey wisely eon
eluded to buve it within tbe wide arched pavilion
whero tho llobakon Turtle Club bus been wont lo eels
brste its nnuai entertainments lur years past.

ol clams, ua.t bard aud hall soil, were strewn.
Throe barrels ol sweet and Bermuda pota

over ibesu were piucud 600 pounds oi sheep's
head ; over them loo pairs ol chieksns, loo bunches ol
asparagus and 600 pounds ol lobsters, the wnole being
covored in with a heavy tarpaulin to prevent tho es
cape ol stsaiu. The mbtnbers ol the club and its pat
rons is the number ol auout three nuodred were com
fortably seated wlibitl lbs pavilion when me signal
lor nucovertag the clam bake was given. A
band played several diverting airs between
the poiuls of anticipation and realism ton and thus
warded off the Intrusion ol Outness; but finally, when
tlio claui caino after tho mild discussion ol snosp's

laciorily decided. One or the eitpulatlone of tbo

ingly poor management of the affair, the start was
made eo late in the day, the time-expired wheu the

consequence was ibo judges' steamboat took tho

The course was from a stakeboat nLioliore't oil tho

flte boats wero louud at tbo Idle Hour dock by tho
judges steamboat sloses Taylor, but. as noted, tbo
start was not made uutil so late the northerly broezoof
tlio morntug bad almost dtod out. The agroemanl was
that a fly tug start nbouid bo bad, and the ton minutes
limit altor the seoond wlnstto was wasted
by the sailing musters iu luffling matubos
lor the windward pontion, so mat at lb.
10m., when they snonla have been on their wiv,
neither bad passed tbo stakeboat. l'botr ume, bad
tno raco been made, would have been taken irora tbat
liour The I'aylor was first to cross, lb. 17ui. 65s.
and tho Holmes lb. 18m. 14s., being the times
ol tho boats as they Dllod uwny on

advantage l" oithor, until ofl Bergen Po-nl, when ibo
Taylor caught the southerly brees that lad onen
loovod lor. ulid ilrew out in the lead some dis

A differedce it Is seen of eleven inmotes in lavor ol

almost to a culm and the Holmes b-ing caught in the

Taylor increased her advantage aud gained rap
idly but Captain "Ira" mado too long a hitch
down the Conev Island Bench, and captain "Jake,"
uotic-ng hie error, stood out into open work on tuo

although one from tho soutbwFst lor a moment looked
serious, hut the yachts caught the last of it only, and
it contained "more rain Minn wind. Against
tbe ?bh tide, now making with strength,
and an the breeze died out almost to a
