GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

There is something interesting in store for
the hundreds of members of the hunting and
fishing clubs in and about Pittsburg. The
reports of about 60 clubs are being arranged
for publication, and without doubt they
contain some very instructive information.
The information is certainly OF a KIND that
will be useful, not only to members OF clubs,
but to everybody who annually spend a few
weeks in quiet retreats where fish and game
are plentiful.
Every club connected with the United Hunt
ing, Fishing and Camping Club has prepared
a report setting forth in detail all the features
of the places visited last year. The reports are
a great improvement on those of last year;
they are more explicit and give more informa-
ton. One of the best perhaps is that of the
Lotus Club, of the Southside. That organiza-
ton was located at Port Burwell, on the
Canadian side. last season, and judging
from the report prepared by Secretary Rohr-
carte, a better and more congenlal place could
not have been selected
HAD A GREAT TIME.
The report goes on to say that the roads are
frst-class, and that vehicles can be procured at
TiIensburg. a place not far distant from Port
BurweIl. The reception rendered the club wasa
great one, as the Mayor and Town Council of
Tilsenburg turned out to welcome the South
siders. When the time of departure from Port
Huron came the ladies of Tilsenburg gave a
dinner in honor Of the Lotus members, and
about 1000 people shared the good things pro-
vided. At night a magnificent display OF fire.
works was given, and everything was on such a
grand scale that the Pittsburgers who were en-
tertained will not readily forget the event. The
report winds up by recommending Port Bur
well as an excellent camping location.
The report of the Keystone Camping Club is
also an interesting one. That club visited Al
tngtOn, w. Va. The members were well re-
ceived by the residents, and a merry time was
spent. Sport was good and the club is inclined
TO visit the place again.
Islands, and according to the report of its sec
rotary, fishing was found to be excellent and
the general surroundings highly enjoyable.
Bass fishing commences about september
ABOUT H YoUGH CLUB.
The Yough Club Secretary tells some nice
things about the clubs visit to Port Huron,
Mich. The roads and surroundings are highly
praised, and the fishing is put down as first
class. Bass can be caught plentifully as soon
as September !, and muscalonge fishing CON-
mences about a month later. Perch and pike
can be caught at any time. So the reports
60 on.
versation OF the matter last evening said: "We
certainly expect these reports of about TO
clubs, aggregating a membership of about
ZUUU, 10 arouse great interest IN nsnInE ana
hunting clubs. The entire reports cover many
locations OF which little is known by the people
of Western Pennsylvania. There certainly
will be more camping during next summer
than there has ever been before. Transports
ton is better and the various railroad COM
panies are now rivaling each other in selecting
hrst-class camping grounds. Matters have
now come down so fine that a number of men
can spend their vacation cheaper and more en-
joyable away back in the woods or up some
lake retreat than can be done IN the city. The

great that l expect to see fully 100 clubs con-
nected with it before long. Young men who
go away on hunting expeditions unorganized
are now being induced to organize because
they can make better arrangements as a club
than as a few individuals"
There is some talk of changing the system of
representation in the United Club. At present
each club is allowed one representative for
every ten members. This makes the attend
ance at the United meetings too large, and it is
claimed interferes with the transaction of
business. There is a desire 70 change the sys-
TEN so that the number of representatives will
be less than at present.
