July ). 1907.
Many hundreds of good Americans cele-
brated their country's natal day by taking
1t easy upon hotel verandas or in the
cooler shades of the pines but still other
hundreds went forth early in the morning
in search of the willy brook trout the
equally willy and more combative black
bass and the somewhat ponderous yet
wide-awake pickerel.
The crowds here. all the way from
Lake Champain to Sacketts Harbor and
1t would seem as if nature had supplied the
fish in proportion 10 the number of hooks
flies and reels: for In all mountain history
there have never been many happy MIN
rods OF course. one does not have to be-
lieve all these stories. and one would be
very credulous If he did. but The Star cor
respondent Is In position to vouch for the
following: Father Zimmerman of New
York and Georgetown University while
fishing for bass, landed the largest pickerel
of the season thus far, a twenty-three-
FOUNDER, after a battle which lasted
hour and half The same clergyman
holds also the black bass record for the
season, having Wednesday brought in thr-
ty-three pounds OF black bass after five
hours fishing. Lieut.. Roberts, United
