LEASE bear in mind that we are the manufacturer of nearly all goods in this catalogue, and that they are made expressly for our " Retail Department '." Those articles described in this List, that are not our make, are made to order, and are carefully selected, and anglers can depend upon these goods being just as repre sented. All orders for goods will come under the personal care and inspection of the- compiler of this catalogue, and no pains will be spared to insure all orders being filled accurately and as promptly as possible. We endeavor to fill all orders promptly ; but in the early summer months, when every one "goes a-fishing," it is not always possible to send rods at once ; and if anglers will please bear this in mind, and send in their orders for rods and rods to be repaired early, they will greatly oblige us, save themselves unnecessary delay, and keep everybody good- natured. Send in your rods to be repaired before April 1st, if possible. EIGHTH EDITIOIV. lli, <><><) COPIES. "WWW -+.

It is also at this time that Chubb's annual catalogue makes its appearance, filled with pictures and description of those implements which the angler finds necessary to assist him in capturing the finny tribe, and also help him capture that which we wish you all to have, health and hap piness. Our Catalogue for 1890 is now ready. It con tains illustrations and descriptions of many new and useful articles, and our angling friends have also con tributed, with their pens, entertaining stories of the fields and waters, a brief synopsis of which we here append. First comes Dr. James A. Henshall, who gives us new ideas in " Some Observations on Black Bass Fishing1' and our lady friends have not forgotten us, as the fair "Petronella," in "A Day with My Rod" gives a charming description of a California home and a stream of the Sierra foothills.

G. L. Davis, M. D., takes us again to California and the Shaster mountains, and tells of "Angling in Northern California? and the battle with the no ble salmon. From the West we jump to the East and take in the "Dead River," the "Chain of Ponds,'' and those lakes of Maine which no man dares undertake to pronounce, but which D. W. C. Farrington graphic ally describes in "My Trout Fishing Experience in Maine? "Curiosities of Angling'''' are quaintly told by Geo. P. Goff. Brother Gardner, of the famous "Lime Kiln Club," in " Gwine a-FishitC " advises fishermen to keep cool and not pull too quick, that "mo' dan onebillyan fish is losted ebery y'ar by pullin' too quick." The story of " The Big Nipigon Trout" is told only as W. H. H. Murray can tell it, he who can so weave words together, that behind closed eyelids you can see the mighty Nipigon and the man in the Vel veteen Jacket. Mrs. W. D. Tomlin pleasantly tells of UA Summer Ramble? and "Norman" describes the royal battle he had with the big trout in the mountain stream, and . "The Anakims of Lake Superior? f.
