Personal Notes


AVALON, July 25.-There were at least
twelve parties out for Jewish yesterday.
and only one of them was successful. ANY
number of sharks, however, were hooked.
and they are no small game to play on
twenty-one Guilty hunk line. The for
tunate fisherman for the Israelite was Mr..
Bently, who was out with Jim Gardner.
The fish are generally plentiful at 1.-THE
fence" and is was there that the boat was
brought to and the lines put down for the
big fish. For two hours and three minutes
Mr.. Bently's big fish made every effort to
escape. and 1t was not until the gaff hook
was in his side that he abandoned all
hope. 1t was nearly dark when the party
returned to Avalon and the fish was put
on the scales, which he tipped at 252 pounds.
The barracuda seem to have gone away
for little vacation, as they have not been
hooked in any numbers for the past three
days. 1t is now nearly time for the big
runs of yellowtail.
The bay has been alive for the past two
days with the smallest kind of shrimps
blown in by the winds that have been out
in the channel. None of them are more
than half an inch long and about as thick
as the point of a lead pencil.
When the bathers came to take their
afternoon dip yesterday 1t was found that
| the water around the bath house was filled
with small jellyfsh, which inflicted pain
full stings if they CHANGED to touch the
body.
| The launch Sunbeam was chartered by b
| Ogden yesterday for a trip around the
| island. The entire trip consumed six
| hours and twenty-five minutes, not count
| ing a stop which was made at Johnson s
| landing.
Tennis Tournament
The tennis tournament, which was start
| ed the middle of the week, was finished
yesterday. Mr.. Bowring, Jr., winning the
| final in the gentlemen's singles from II
| Jones-Bateman, after hard and well
| played game. In the mems doubles the
| brothers Bowring beat Jones-Batemar
and Donnell by score of 4-G, Go. CA. The

| for brilliant volleys and rallies. The Ia.
dies doubles were won by Misses Donnel
and <idder from Misses Palmer and Lam
ders. 6-5, G-l. The mixed doubles were wor
| by Miss Donnell and Mr.. Traitor, from Miss

well contested, and the fortunate players
| We're accorded generous applause as they
| left the court. In the last game of the
| ladies' singles Miss o. Donnell won from
Miss Palmer by Il score of CO, g. The win
ming of this game carries the championship
of Avalon with it, and Miss Donnell is
