BASS Are Taking All Sorts of Bait--Tl
Fish Are Generally small.

lass Arc Taking All Sorts of Hait-The
Fish Are Generally Small.
Ike" writes thus Interestingly in
the West Chester Local News Of fishing
in the Brandywine;
Things ara looking better along the
Braudywine this week and the anglers
of this section are happy. 1t has been
several years since they have had az
good fishing as at the present time and
mnny nice catch has been madc
during the past week, although the fish
are etill running small in size. Some
OF the old anglers seem to think that
later in the season the big ones will
commence to take the bait and that
some fine ones will then be taken. It
is my humble opinion, however, that
the catches of large ones will he few
and far between this year and in the
hereafter in the Brandywine. The
stream is too small and the fishermen
too many for them to attain any
enormous size, although a few throe-
FOUNDERS may be found. During the
last week hundreds Of bass we're taken
in the stream with both fly and bait
and some of fair size we're among the
lot, few of them being three pounds
in weight These latter were 10 thn
minority. the most OF them being about
a pound or little over. The water is
in splendid condition and the creek ia
full. 1t is just right for bass fishing
at all points and it will not be found
better during the season and probably
not for several years.
"At this time the bass are taking
all sorts of bait, from common worms
to minnows. The bait most in favor
with them seems to be helgramites and
this lure is the easiest of all TO secure,
being found under the stupes at all
points whore the water is swift and
shallow. OF course the smallest bass
are taken with the worms, but little
fellows take the helgramites as we'll
Catfish are not as much in favor as
some other bats in the Brnndywine.
but minnows are bringing the required
| result 1t has been my experiences that
small minnow ia better bait than
large one. | have always uaed little
fellows about two inches in length,
either tho bright shiners or young
suckers and get more sport out of them
than with the large ones. OF course
in using the larger bait the bass hooked
are generally large ones, but then

eral days and not get one, while with

bass but have plent, OF enjoyment

lers are after, but then some of them

fish to bite, be they large or small.
Then can throw back what small ones

CAMP RECORD BROKEN.

T.. C. GoOdIey Covers the Distance in is
Minutes aud ~ Seconds.
Elwyn @. Cooley of No. 9i5 Wash
ington street, one of the fastest bicycle
riders in this part of the country, on
Thursday broke all records for riding he
tween Brandywine Summit campground
ami Washington street bridge, this city.
Although be met with an accident, he
made the distance, which ia 10
mileH, in is minutes and 81 seconds.
The hest previous record was msde last
summer after the close of camp by
Robert WIer, whose time was Is min
utes and 81 seconds. This was not off.
cial, however, as far as this contest for
ths Wilmington Bicycle Clubs cup was
concerned, and the cup went to John
l.. Clark, Dr., who held the record for
the allotted period, hia time being ID
minutes and Al seconds.
Guolley left the campgFound at 6. 40
O'Clock. He was in trst-class condi-
tion, as were also his pacemakers, his
brother, William II. Goodley and Thomas
j. Gillon. the start was made in
good form, and as the road was fiue
and there was little obstruction in tho
way OF wind, COOLEY few away like
bird. The pacemakers gave him great
deal OF assistance and encouragement
and succeeded in keeping the way open
all the way down to the boulevard.
Cooley had scarcely turned into the
Boulevard, when he collided with
bicycle ridden by a boy. He was
knocked of, but as he was not much
burt, remounted and rode on to tho
bridge, making better time than any
who had preceded him in the record
rides. He was loudly cheered for his
work, and is now the lion among the
contestants. 1t is thought that had he
not collided with the boy he would
have clipped at least foar seconds Oft
