There are. plenty of fishing streams throughout ;Eagland and Scotland which could be filled with game fish .and - tbe . clubs owning them are praparing to .refill, them with ,fish Jroin. the, United SUtes. Most English tishermen'are.well acquainted with the various kinds Ot American fish and , they are anx ious to import some of the better kno.wn : species, -which it is known will settle in Tn(lish streams. Some of tthe clubs, paying atten tion also to the eating . qualities, therefore .have decided to Import black bass, silver bass, strawberry, bass,, erapples, .pike :and pickerel, and certain species of-trout. - The, fish will, be purchased from American .breeding associations and. brought to England. in special ly '.built tanks, i He confirms th use of a thing who abolishes its abuse. -.
