Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-14

1t did look early in the season as if the av-
erage amusement caterer and hotel proprie-
tor would wind up on September Is, at a de-
cided loss, but now all this is changed.
On Saturday night last careful estimate
shows that at feast fU'I people slept on ho-
tel niazzas and on the long benches on
Young s. McShea's Ocean Pier. When the
situation dawned upon the hotels every ad-
vantage possible was given the Deoless TO
get as comfortable night as posslDle on the
hotel piazza chairs. The Ocean Pler mas
been enlarged to almost twice the lengtn OF
last year. and the hundreds of benches and
rocking chairs furnished sleeping places for
Il great many.
The August girl is by all odds the greatest
Dather OF the season, and she is here this
wear IN greater force than ever before. II
you happen to feel curious to know who is
the best swimmer in the horde OF August
girls lust ask any of the red-shirted, bronzed
life guards on the beach. If ne happens to
be Jerseyman his reply will be something
like this: "Waal, reckin that air Bristow
gal from Pittsburg"
The life guard evidently knows his busi-
ness, for "that air Brstow gal is none other
than the only daughter of James Brlstow,
the wealth. Southside glass manufacturer.
ller full game is Lillian Florence Bristow,
aud she is altogether the most charming
bather that goes in the surf. 1t is no trick
ut all for the beautiful Lillian to swim out
away beyond the life guards, and splash
around for an hour or so like frisky young
porpoise. There is no false modesty about
Miss Bristow. She wears skirt, but 1t is
very short and eminently sensible. In no
way does il interfere with the free use OF the
limbs and perhaps for this reason alone
Mss Bristow can swim farther and easier
than her falr sisters.
The bluefish are here in thousands and
they seem to be greed er and gamier than
ever. This will be the best of news to the
average Pitisburger, for il he is anything
lie is fine fisherman. Anyhow there IS no
kind OF piscutorial sport in the world SO
thoroughly interesting and eXhilarating as
blue fishing. And. by the way, the old-iash-
toned metal "squld" is a thing OF the past
now. There is nothing used for the capture
of blue1ish but "squids'' made of red cedar,
and these were introduced here last sum-
mer by Mr.. PiatG. He got the idea from
Long Island fisherman, who had learned 1t
from 4 Welsh fisherman. Put two men in
boat ana let them both troll for bluef1sh,
one with red cedar sQuid and the other
with metal Cne, and the red cedar squid
will catch ten fish where the other won't
get bite.
