dotted all along its banks, from
Pittsburg to Parkersburg, with camps
of pleasure seekers, while its triouta-
ries furnish fields for many more. The
simple tent of a few years ago has given
place in many cases to substantial
| buildings on both banks Of the Ohio,
which are the headquarters for con-
genial parties during the heated season.
Until recent years the fair sex was
strictly tabooed in the camps, and
there are yet those who regard fishing
as a form of recreation belonging eXclu-
| sively to the sterner sex. This year,
however, many parties are made up OF
| ladies and gentlemen. and the former
enjoy all the privacy Of home life.
Fishing affords method OF spending
the respite from work, at once cheap
and enjoyable. The average outfit con-
I ssts of tent, and hunks for each men,
Der of the party. OF course there are
hooks and lines, but little fishing is
done. The ''trots" are set, and each
member of the party is allotted several
hours to watch for bites, but there are
/ no military regulations governing the
camp, and if the guard falls asleep, and
the fish carry off all the bait, none are
| the wiser. Crackers and cheese are in
dispensible articles in the culinary de-
| partment, and no camp would be com
plete without an abundant supply OF
! iQuid-refreshments.
Below will be found q partial list OF
the fishing parties made uD OF Wheeling
! people. It represents but small por-
ton of the number Of people who leave
the city annually in piscatorial pursuit,
! for the reason that there are many par
ties of half dozen who spend but
few days.
THE JACK BASS.
Probably the Jack Bass Club has the
best quarters of all the clubs leaving
the city. This club has been in exis-
tence for quarter of century, and
has been camping each year on the
Davis farm, about twelve miles up
/ Wheeling creek. The old house which
afforded shelter for Ia number OF years
was replaced last year with a
handsome .two-story frame struc-
ture, especially adapted to the
needs of the club. Here things
are conducted in AL elaborate manner.
The present officers OF the Club are as
/ follows: President, Anton Reymann;
vice-president, P. Welty; secretary, IL.
! Bieberson; commiSsarY, c. w. Welty;
ouartermaster, Col. August Rolf. The
! bylaws Of the club limit the member
ship to twenty-five, and it is always
! full. Splendid shade trees and cool
spring are found on the three acres
rented by the Club. The Club returned
few days ago from a ten days camp.
! During the summer members of the
! Club frequently take their families TO
| the camp, and spend a few days. At
| least ten members Of the Club are
musicians, several being members Of
| the Opera House orchestra, and an eve
ming concert Of vocal and instrumental
selections is a feature of the daily pro-
| gramme.
