NEW YORK. September 9.-Reports from
the Delaware river and Greenwood lake are
to the effect that there was never better
fishing at either point than this year.
Twelve camping parties along the Delaware
between Point Eddy and Hancock all report
enough bass for camp use, while parties In
camp at Coshocton report exceptionally fine
sport. with bass plentiful. While the fish
do not run to exceptional size. catches
weighing as high as three and one-half
pounds are not at all infrequent. In Green
wood lake some are being taken that run as
high as four and five pounds.
wail-eyed pike are being caught in Green
wood lake In large quantities. and Oswego
bass. pickerel and channel catfish are FREE
quentiy taken by the deep troiiers. These
latter get bigger fish, though sportsmen who
use the frog get the most fun out OF IT.

FINELY BRED PONIES

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. September 9.-in the round OF

things to make one feel very sure that the
country possesses wonderful breeds OF
ponies but hitherto never half developed.
Among the recent things of interest in TINS

a fresh phase as the Boer war has taught
England a great lesson. The Beers had
thought about horses for more than twenty
years since MaJuba. and the thoroughbred
colts quietly bought at the Messrs. latter
SAILS Newmarket and Doncaster sales were
as quietly shipped to South Africa to cross
with the Basuto and other nattye-bred
ponies. Hence they were able to give their
fighting men two horses each. and their
mobility was naturally far greater than
that Of the British.
To take 1t for granted that the Beers
material was very far inferior to anything
that is possessed here was very easy

the colts purchased here by their agents
were such as could only be sold In Eng
land for the smallest prices. and. secondly.
South African ponies bear no comparison
with English, Welsh or Irish ponies. The

Among the Oarsrnen

Locally the year of 1905 has been most
unfortunate one In point of aquatics, tor
not once during the season did the colors
represented by the clubs of this city show
the way in front at any regatta. 1t Is the
first time too, since 1900, that the Po-
tomac Boat Club mas not landed one or
more prizes at the regatas they have en-
tered and the surprise of it all is that they
had at the best splendid crew.
The Potomacs will hold a big regatta here
on the Potomac early next summer. They
will also make efforts to get the annual
Middle States here for next season. and,
falling that will go to work to get up the
annual Potomac River Association. for
which are The Evening Star cup and other
valuable trophies. This regatta has never
failed to draw large entries from the north
and now that Richmond and Norfolk are
again booming rowing, there Will be entries
from those two places. also.
There will be no let-up in the work nee
essary to get out good crews. and the aim
of Capt Mueller of the club will be to get
the junior element out as long as the
weather continues good. During the win
ter the men Will devote so many nights a
week to indoor work. as arrangements Will
be made to give them machine work on one
of the best indoor machines In the city
Nothing is going to be left undone to re-
trieye the lost laurels Of 1903.

The Analostans do not hold out any hopes
that the season of 1905 will be any more
enthusiastic than the one just passed, or,
as in the language of their president. Mr..
Maddox. they are not much on sky rock
ct aquatics." The season that has closed
has been good one for them in the social
side Of aquatics, and in this the organiza-
ton has more than held Its own. They
have had club regattas, up-river parties
and social functions at their club house,
and this is all they claim the club was
organized for. OF course, Acting Capt.
Neyins and number of the members are
very anxious to enter in competition with
the rest of the rowing world, and 1t goes
without saying that crews wearing the col
ors of the organization will be sent in at all
local regattas.
The Old Dominions of Alexandria had
planned a lively season for 1905 and were
getting things IN fine shape, when an acci-
dent sent the club into mourning and all
had to be deferred. But now that the sea-
son Is past, the club Will emerge in the
spring of 1906 and will take an active part
in all regattas held here or In the state Of
Virginia.
With the opening of the college year the
students of Georgetown will, like ducks.
take to water and 1t will be the aim OF
Coach Dempsey to have the class races
early in November. These class races
make the future oarsmen Of the college
crews and indeed. greater rivalry exists
over them than in any other sport In col
lege life.

NEW YORK, September 9.-The great

chances for supremacy against the cracks

1t is not SO many years ago that Travis
took up golf. and playing in many
matches as possible, was beaten with mo-
notonous regularity; but. far from being
discouraged he stuck to it, with the result
that he is today regarded by thousands as
the finest exponent of the great Scotch
game this side the water. Certainly, as
student of the game he has no superior.
And one might almost say the rise Of
young Wright is equally notable. Grad
ually year by year. he has been working
his way to the top notch of the ladder.
