The 500 fishing party has become a
very popular affair and this year the
usual number that Is Identified with it
was almost. doubled. The start was, made
from Minneapolis on the. Soe's evening
train out of that city. The fishermen
were taken to the scene of action in one
of the Soo's splendid tourist cars which
had been taken out of the regular service
the way out refreshments and cigars
were served and fish stories of great mag
nitude, told by some of the older fiSner-
men in the crowd. served to pass the
time pleasantly. The party arrived at
New PaynesVille at 10 o'clock and was
met there by a large committee OF citt-
zens and a number of the members of the
Lake Koronis club. Turing Saturday
night, all day Sunday and up to the mo-
ment that the party started on the return
trip there was not one dull moment so
well did the people of New Paynesvllle
carry out their intention Of assisting the
500 officials in entertaining their guests.
Sunday was spent on Lake Koronis,
pretty little body of water which lies
about two miles from New Paynesviile,
surrounded by beautiful scenery and dot
ted by a number of picturesque Islands
and teeming with game fish of all kinds.
The day was not an ideal one for hshlnS
owing to the cold and a heavy wind
storm that prevailed, and the noVlces had
some difficulty In landing the hnny In
habitants of the lake. but the older hsh-
ermen were more successful and enjoyed
great sport.
Only for a short time during the middle
of the day did the fishermen desert their
work and that was to enjoy splendid
lunch that had been sent out to the lake
by the people of the city.
This fishing excursion, like those that
have preceded it, was greatly enjoyed
by all and will long be remembered by
those that were lucky enough to be IN
Guided.
