ANGLING ON THE WHARF.

(To the EcVtnr of the Evening Star). Sir,—l notice in Friday's Star that a Avitness at the inquest on the body of James Cougblan protested against angling on the wharf, and pro posed petitioning Government to stop it. 1 shall be /,lad to read his objections in logical order Avhen he sends them to you, but Avithout Availing for them, allow me to write on the entirely opposite side. Be ause one man known to be subject to tits fi.Ua oil the wharf and is droAvned, is every one to s be debarred from ft iking? Of all the thousands 1 may say who hive angled off Auckland wharf from its first erection till to-day, how many have lost their Lyes .' And, lorsooth, because one docs, arc all tue rest to starve, ioae their proiit, or pleasure, Hi the case may be I ihen there is no necessity that a petition be presented to Government to put a stop to angling on the Avharf, as the Avitness should haA'C knoAvn when he made the statement that there at present exists a IaAV im posing a penalty of £5 for so aoing. EA-ery one knows that our beautifnl Waitemata river is teaming Avith that most Avholesome of all annual food, fish, and is it rigid the poor man it. is on his behalf I write to you—Avho cannot afford a boat, nets, &c., is to be debarred from honestly ting a good substantial meal for himself and family when it is there (where God hi his mercy put it) for the getting, ami can this witness tell me any place Avhere this can be done m Auckland but off the wharf 1 or, supposing he had not (id in his pocket, what are the other and better ways and far more expeditious of yetting fish if people Avanted them. I have known of two men who had nothing but dry crusts of bread Avith AVater for their breakfasts, dinners, and suppers for more than a week, until, in spite of law and police, they Avent and angled off the wharf, and re turned home to something like a pleasant meal, and while one wciu to look for work the other kept the pot boiling. Are such people to be de barred from angling on the wharf? As to those Avho go there for proiit, i.e., to make a living, they are generally poor industrious men foold for hard "labour, and Avho cannot afford more than the price of aline and hooks, and who sell the produce of their day's work often, in all conscience, miserable enough, and is the honest vocation of these men to be stopped also 1 Then, as to the third class, those who go for pleasure. Why what is there to object in any person after his day's labour, strolling doAvn the wharf, after all business is.;over on it. enjoying the line summer evening and cool refreshing breeze and having an hour's angling, instead of hiring a boat and pulling to some imaginary knoAvn spot Avhere you are sure to get any amount of fish, the pull back, with nothing but a feeling of clamiuess all OA"er, if not a thorough drenching, from either rain or water dashed over you by the waves a sudden breeze has raised, or an aAvkAvard puller's splashing. Is this to compare Avith the advantage of being on terra firma, and able to leave off when you choose and stroll .pleasantly up Queen-street, Avith or Avithout your kit or string-ful of fish, as dry as a lime basket and as fresh as ncAV paint? Angling, everyone knows, is a very aristocratic pursuit at home, and Avhy should it not be so here ? The learned Dr. Kingsley, Avho accompanied the Earl of Pembroke on his vist here, filled nearly a Avhole column of " Land and Water" after his return home, Avith a description of the pleasure of kaAVai fishing, comparing it to the exciting one of salmon, and e\-en better, and recom mended sportsmen to come out here and try it. He pursued it

" With all appliances and means to boot, Of rods and reels and artificial baits." But to land a 71b. kaAvai on the Queen-street Avharf AA'ith a line and bit of mullet bait, Oh! dear, that is quite a different thing altogether. Ah ! mon Dieu! Vive le snobbery I My object in writing to ask you and all right thinking people to come to the rescue of poor needy, but yet industrious, people Avho frequent theAvharf foraliving.They cannot be called lazy, or loafers, that they have full liberty to fish off the Avharf at times and places when they do not interfere Avith the traffic or passengers. The fishing that goes on at present is entirely con ducted at the extreme body of the outer tees behind the sheds.and hidden from public gaze or traffic While for those Avho Avould go for pleasure. Would it not be better for many, seeing there are so few means of spending the summer evenings, that they Avcrc spent "angling on the wharf" instead of at Yankee-grab or billiards? As for the danger, Avhy that is ah moonshine. It is very rare to find a person fishing alone, and if one did accidentally fall or get ptillcd into the AVater by an immense yelloAv tail and could not SAvim, why he has only to clutch his line or his neighbours, invariably fastened to the wharf, to keep himself afloat till rescue comes or Ms brethren help him out;.— Yours, Hugh Reid.

! {COMMON SENSE AND COMFORT. Gtas otoves. COOKING by GAS is Easier, Cheaper, and far more Economical than by Wood or Coal, and suitable for the Cottage, Mansion, or Hotel. The superior flavour, the. retention of the animal juices in the Meat, and the prevention of waste, are plainly shown on the first trial. The loss of Aveight by GAS COOKING is reduced to about one-fourth of that of the com mon modes of Roasting or Baking, for whereas a Joint of Meat of eleven pounds loses never less than three pounds at an Open Fire, or four pounds in an Oven, the lo3s by the Gas Roaster is only one pound. If you have common sense, buy one if you want comfort. GAS STOVES, for Boiling, Steaming, Broil ing, Stewing, or Frying, from 3s. GAS STOVKS, for Roasting, Boiling, Stew ing, Broiling.
