The Plentiful Supply Of Game and
Fish Inspires Interest.
WHEN BASS RISE 10 The FLY
Authoritative Statement on the
Subject From an Expert.
SHOOTING Pc r SON AL S

The unusual quantity of game in the
fields and woods. and Of bass in the Po-
tomac and its tributaries, has revived a
more general and more active interest in
sport with the gun and rod than has been
evident in this section of the country for
many years. Good luck stories are being
told by both classes on every hand, and
until the season closes for quail, turkeys,
pheasants and rabbits and the cold wealth
er comes to prevent further fishing the
votaries will be eager in pursuit of their
favorite pastime.
The merchants who deal In the equip
ments requisite for hunting and fishing
unanimously report more business than
they ever enjoyed before in the fall season,
which is always the busiest in such lines,
ard there seems to be no diminution yet in
the public demand for such things.
The Bass and the Fly.
The interest In fishing caused revival
recently among several well-known local
anglers of discussion of the question Of
the small-mouthed black bass rising to
the fly. Some made the claim that the
bass would rise to the artificial fly only
when natural flies and insects which at
tract bass were in season. Others denied
this, declaring that the rising of the bass

In his reply dated October IL DR.. Hen
shall wrote follows:
THE rising of the bass to the fly is al
together a matter of temperature, and in

gulf states they rise all the year, while in
the extreme north only in the summer.
Bass only rise to the fly when in compare

natural flies on the water does not seem
to cut any figure. In this STATE tMontaual

Rain. Thunder and Lightning.

Heavy rains fell at this place last
Saturday Sunday, and Monday.
The rain on Saturday was accompa-
MED by slight hail, and the down
pour of Sunday morning was unusu-
ally heavy for this season of the year:
The rain of Monday forenoon lasted
about two hours, end was accompa-
MED by frequent heavy peals Of thun-
der and bursts of lightning. A
bolt struck o post-oak shade tree
within twenty feet Of the residence Of
the editor of the Banner. The tree
VAS struck at the height Of about ten
feet from the ground, ripping off the
bark in zig-zag direction from the
south to the southwest, being an
area of one-fourth of the surface of
the tree, which is about two feet in
diameter. The tree was split at the
point of striking, the rift running in
the same direction to the roots of
the tree. It is about half an inch
vide and extends perhaps half way
through the tree. About ten feet
from the ground is hole an inch in
diameter and an inch in depth, and
near the base of the tree is similar
one, and the ground on the west side
of the tree at the roots was torn into
crevices. The shock was terrific and
the blaze was almost binding in
effect. There were two distinct re-
ports, and the tree was evidently
struck by two bolts. This upsets
the theory, or rather common belief,
that lightning never strikes twice in
the same place.
At about the same moment post
oak tree about fifty feet south of the
dwelling house of Mr.. II. NJ. Bailey,
about two blocks distant, was also
struck by thunder The tree
is two aud half feet in diameter,
and was struck at q distance of ten
feet from the ground, splitting it off
from the shattered trunk, and strip
ping off the bark to the length
Of nearly Is feet. Fragments of
limbs and pieces of bark were thrown
upon the house aud for some dist
ance about the premises.
This place was visited by another
heavy rain and thunder storm Tues
day evening, continuing throughout
the night and yesterday.
