The John p Lowell Company Of Boston
Lave made beautiful outfit for the
NEWS that will go to the lucky member OF
our club that catcnes the biggest tautog
during the present season.
Everybody doesn't 90 tautoging so we
have also handsome trout OUTFIT, from
The same frm. Their well-known reputa-
tion is guarantee OF its quality.
IL will go to the club member that
catches the heaviest trout from any pub
lie brook or pond in Rhode Island, Massa-
chusetts or Connecticut.
The NEWS has a large circulation in all
these States, and the contest is started for
the benefit OF its readers
Wet weight Is the standard.
lne winner viii nave 10 make an am
davit that the fish was caught with
hook and line, and a witness will have to
vouch for the weight
All fish must be entered with the two
AAmss but 1t will not be necessary to
make an affidavit until the contest is
closed.
If . member should go, say to Gorton's
ct Pawtuxet, hire boat and uring the
day catch big tautog, all he will have to
do Is to get the boat keeper to weigh 1t
and the next day notify US, giving Mr.
Gorton's name as the witness that the

The same rule governs the trout prize,
but 1t must be remembered that the fish
