HORfOlK'SfMlWIdDUSTRILS j Norfolk, V., Aug.-18. Although Nor folk is widely known a a local point where eight railroad line with an aggre gate of twenty thousand miles of track meet eight mile of river and coast steam er and fivs lines of deep-sea steamers, and its harbor is famous all over the world, comparatively little is known of the city as an important center of the fishing trade. Yet this port, today a cen ter of international interest because of the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition to be held in ! 907 on the nearby shores of Hampton Roads, keeps in commission all the year a fleet of nearly three hundred fishing boats. Cottagers residing on the shores of Hampton Roads, near the site of the Jamestown Exposition, can go a few hun dred yards out from short and in a few moments with the most simple equipment catch a dozen vaiieties of edible fish. Boys often may be .seen pushing skiffs around the mud flats of the harbor at low tide, stopping her and there to pick stranded crabs off the harbor bottom, from which the water has receded. If Norfolk were to be placed in a state of siege with out notice the besieger would find it first necessary to effect the stupenduous at d well nigh impossible task of closing York and James rivers, Hampton Roads, Eliza beth river, the Dismal Swamp and Albe marle and Currituck Sounds to Norfolk Sih'r"n h mnlH hnn to starve the city into submission. The Norfolk fishing fleet comprises al most every kind of small craft known in this country. The favorite style of fish ing boat is the "bugeye." This carries two leg-o'-mutton sails on raking masts and a jibsail. The "bugeye" is not long, but very wide and shallow. It is pointed at both ends and is an exceptionally gcod boat for work around rivers and harbors and where the water is shallow. Though small, It is a good heavy weather boat and can stand an incredible amount of pounding. Sloops and schooners of from five to one hundred tons' burden carrying from six to a dozen men are also numer ous in the fishing trade. There are a few large steamers in the fishing fleet and a great number " of small craft driven by gasoline engines. These have their fish ing grounds in the lower Chesapeake Bay, in Hampton Roads, in Currituck and Al bemarle Sounds, reached from Norfolk through the Dismal Swamp canals, and in the open sea where the finest of deep water fish the blueish lurks, ready to furnish the liveliest sport the fisherman can find. In addition to the great fleet that makes Norfolk its permanent headquarters a goodly number of fishing boats come to this city every year from New York and Philadelphia and make Norfolk their head quarters during the summer fishing season. During the past year the oyster boats brought oysters into Norfolk to the value of nearly four million dollars. Most of these were the famous Lynhavens oysters considered bv many to be superior to the much-prized Blue Point oysters of Long Island, Next to the Lynhavens in the favor of the public are the Chincot- eague oysters and Horn Harbor crusta ceans. There are a half dozen other varieties not so well known. Norfolk's oyster trade is constantly growing, every year a round dozen of boats are added to the oyster fleet. Shad fishing is an important feature in Nurgolk's commerce. Last year however was an unusually on 'or hat along the Atlant.c coast, and the figures for shad show up as laige as for other fish in the totals of the fishing business. Large quantities of porgies. flounders and sheepshead are sold every day in Norfolk for local consumption. Among the highly prized game fish to be bought in Norfolk markets are the black bass, stripped bass salmon, trout, Spanish bluefish and spot ted trout. These are among the finest food fish to be found anywhere and are much sought after by those who seek to Tiaintain the table of an epicure. There are also to be found in gre$ t quantities in the water that turround Norfolk perch, hogfish and pickerel. These are popular food fish. Norfolk's equipment for storing fish and her transportation facilitier can be equall ed by no other fishing port on the Atlan tic coast. A large proportion of the fish sold; Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash ington get heavy shipments daily. When Norfolk boatsj put out for the fishing grounds they carry large quantities of ice in which the fish are placed as soon as caught. The fish are thereafter kept in ice constantly until they reach the con sumer. A visit to one of the great fish houses of Norfolk will well repay a visitor, in the interesting sights to be seen there. Though Norfolk flshdealers are modest in speaking of their business a slight investi gation will show any one that the city's competition is a matter to be reckoned with by the large fishing ports of the At lantic coast. coughs QUICKEST CURE colds THE WONDER WORKER THROAT DR.
