PRESS AGENT CATCHES A FISH.
Thirty-Pound Carp Is Lured by a
Dough Ball at Fairmount.
From Fairmount park lake yesterday morning, so the story runs, a thirty-pound carp was dragged on a hook and line. This line was baited with dough balls and thrown in the lake by the park's press agent. This monster which was brought from the waves weighed thirty pounds, according to the press agent's scales.
Five hooks had been strung on the line and only one bore water fruit. The fish was given in trust to William Tissue, a saloonkeeper at Ninth street and Spruce. It will be on display in the window of the saloon for several days.
