AN ANGLING TOURNAMENT.
Proposed Contests During the Mid
winter Fair.


One of the attractions of the Midwinter
Fair will, in all probability. be a fiy-cast-
ing tournament. Yesterday, at a private
conference of anglers, the matter was dis
cussed, and although nothing definite in
the way of organization was done, it was
suggested to call a meeting of anglers some
time this month, at which committee
will be appointed TO confer with the most
prominent of local anglers as to the advis-
ability of inaugurating a tournament of
this kind. which, if decided upon favor
ably. will be held in the beautiful lake
which surrounds Strawberry Hill in Golden
Gate Park.
The fact that the recent casting tourna-
ment held at Chicago was a great success
and was witnessed by thousands of people
has stirred up VAIN interest among local
anglers in the proposed tourna ment.
According TO the suggestions that were
offered at yesterdays meeting it is pro-
posed to have contests for ladies as well as
gentlemen, one of the contests to consist
of casting for distance and accuracy CON-
bined. long-di stance fy-castiDg, fancy cast
ing. bait casting and spoon casting.
The announcement of the next meetn 2
will appear in the daily papers, and in the
meantime THE CALL will be pleased to
publish any suggestions anglers may have
beneficial to the success of the enterprise.

matter of congratulation among those on
