Details OF the Contest.
The John T.. Lowell Company of Boston
have made n 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 a handsome trout outfit, from
the same firm. Their well-known reputa-
tion is a 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.
The winner will have to make an affi-
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
names, but it will not be necessary to
make an affidavit until the contest is
closed.
The same rule governs the trout prize,
but IL must be remembered that the fish
must DO caught In public stream or
pond.
But first of all you must be a member
OF the club at least day before the fish
entered was caught.
No objection being made to the sug-
gestions awhile ago put forward in these
columns, the NEWS is now ready to an-
nounce the date of the closing Of the con-
test.
The.5rout fishing competition will close
Aug. 3, to give the winner "a chance to use
his new tackle before the close Of the sea-
son.
The tautog season is longer. There's
no harm in running it right up to Sept.
!, and If there Is no good reason brought
forward for altering the date, Sept. 1t is.
Now send in your name.
