THE ANGLER.
Grand Prizes Offered for the Fly
Casting Tournament,

The first attempt at fly-casting for prizes
west of the big mountains will take place on
Strawberry Lake, in Golden Gale Park, on
May and 8.
As previously stated, il was formally decided
TO hold the events in the Midwinter Fair
grounds, the committee having been promised
certain concessions which THE CALL predicted
would not be- forthcoming when the time ar
rived for business. The committee eventually
discovered that it had got its foot into the
wrong shoe, and at meeting held on Thursday
evening it determined to return TO its initial
proposition, and that was TO hold the tourua-
ment on Strawberry Lake, at which place all
deyOtees of the gentle pastime Will be afforded
an OppOrt unity Of seeing the contests free Of
charge. On the committee of arrangements
are men who win leave no stone unturned In
their efforts 10 make the tournament The sue
course, the future OF casting tournaments in
this city Will entirely depend upon the support
that will be accorded IL by the anglers OF
his city and State. Entries will be re-
celyed by the committee of arrangements,
and it IS requested that the gentlemen
who intend to compete VII not hold back their
entry until the last moment, but come forward
as quickly as possible and thereby NANTES by
their sincerity desire TO help the good cause
along and show that they are in favor of annual
casting tournaments on the Pacific slope. The
of the undertaking aud 1t is only fair that the
anglers should assist it by sending In their
entries as quickly as possible, so that some
idea can be formed of the numbers from this
city that will be represented in the contests.
Prizes are pouring In from all quarters, aud
