Zip! boom 'rah and here is No. 7, a beauty and now a third, not so large, but he puts up a pretty fight for his native home. Three right straight along; and then MT Punk got busy, and added several to the string, and we both fshed along for an hour or two or three, and when we returned to camp all admired the very pretty bunch of perhaps twenty, all caught with trolls-the prettiest fishing in the world.
 Other parties had gone in the other boats, and they, too, had very good success, so that there was an abun- dance and to spare. Dinner was soon ready, and everyone had splendid appetite. Piles of fish were Drowned to turn, and they were fine, and we got our share, even if we did have to 'pick out the bones for the babies. There were fish and potatoes, fried pies and fried apples, roasting ears and fried corn, hot coffee, iced tea and soft drinks from the Dottiing works, watermelons, and what not. Every thing that one could wish for, and everybody hungry and happy. It was glorious
 After such fish and such dinner, and such genial company, nothing was left to wish for except to pay visit to the neighboring Club House-the Ten nesaw. So MT. Price again steamed up" the Buster" and took all who wished down to the Tennesaw landing The party went up to the Club House and were cOurteously welcomed by Mart Franklin, the keepers handy man. He gave us the freedom of the house, and it was critically inspected, especially by the ladies, and universal ly admired. The Tennesaw Club has certainly built wisely and well, and their club house is beauty, and it is handsomely and conveniently furnish ed. and though we would like to do so, we haven't space here to give deScrip- tion of it, but will do so at some more convenient time.
 After the visit to the club house, it was arranged to take some of the wo- men 'Out for a fish," so MT. Punk, with his usual gallantry and natural geniality, invited Mrs. Townsend, Mrs. Reiss and Mrs Vadakin to go with him in the "Bonair," and try their luck. They fished nearly an hour and a half, and between the three of them they caught l7 fish, not counting the great big one that got away, nor the immense gar which nearly upset the boat and furnished great fun for all, and excitement especially for Mrs. Townsend, whose bait Mir. Gar tried to take away, she thinking she had caught monster fish.
 This story grows long, but it would not be complete without saying some- thing about Hulburt He was a jolly fisherman and good one at that, and landed about F beauties, one of which was the largest of the entire catch. He tished with MT. Price during the afternoon for awhile, and they caught s or 10 each.
 MT. E. J. Barrow and MT. Jas. De Rositt came down Wednesday morn ing, arriving about II o'clock, with a fine lot of minnows, and remained over night. We had the pleasure of their company for dinner and supper, and they added fine lot of fish to the sup ply then on ice
 Mrs. Evans went for several rides in the boats, did not fish much, but caught three nice ones. Edith fished only little while, and caught but one. Mr. Evans, MT. IIoshall and Mir. An drew and MT. John Jackson each caught goodly number. Mir. Punk caught more than 90, Mir. Price 9, and ye scribe about dozen. And Jake and Mary added about 90 to the catch. Anyway, as near as we could count them up, total of something over 300 was landed, including about 6S by Messrs. Barrow and DeRossitt. Mrs. Mcdaniel, Mrs. Hoshall and Mrs. Jack son did not indulge in the sport, but enjoyed the good luck of the others.
 After supper, our team having ar rived, we packed up and returned home, leaving as jolly crowd as we ever had the pleasure of being with. and that, too, very regretfully. They returned the next day, and continued to have good luck and lots of fun after we left them.
 There were many very funny, laugh able and enjoyable incidents, and we could fill page or two if we had the ability to write it in an interesting way, but as this article has already grown long, we will close it with hearty thanks to all, especially their
