UP-RIVER WATERS.

born dIter the war, lOm McNuiIy
well known in this city and Baltimore
as singer of some repute and a genial
companion, is going to entertain some OF
his fisherman friends from this city Al
Glover shore, on Bear creek tomorrow.
1t is probable that about fifty Washing
tonians will journey over to Baltimore
tomorrow morning to enjoy the outing
and Host McNulty guarantees that those
who make the effort will be able to bring
home fish enough for winter use, while
those who prefer to remain at the shore
will have the pleasure of welcoming tn.
anglers when they return.
Incidentally, tomorrow is one of the
anniversaries of McNulty's birth, ant
that is why he sent the "born-after-the
war announcement. The invitations re
ceived by his Washington friends are
ture of a ship, beneath which lis printed
"McNulty leaving Ireland" although the
nearest Tom McNulty ever was to Ire

boyhood days, when She visited the Sec

nouncement the card contains. but such
Information is not necessary. as every
one of McNulty's friends know the latch
string is always out.
The anglers and others will leave here
on an early car, and will reach Glover
shore in time to spend few hours or

Der of camping parties of anglers about
the Potomac this year, the good sport
having induced many of them who have
never before enjoyed it to seek camp life
in the vicinity of Harpers Ferry, Knots
Quarry, Point of Rocks, Great Falls and
points along the upper Potomac and
Shenandoah rivers.
Other campers have had enjoyable
times about salt water. They selected
spots along the lower river and CheSa-
peake bay, number going to the vicinity
of Chesapeake Beach and still others Sc
lecting points about Colonial Beach and
other river resorts. No trouble was ex-
perienced in selecting good locations. and
the campers were more than satisfied
with their outings.
The camping season for anglers Is not
yet over by any means, scores of bass
out the months of September and Oc-
tober. Many anglers prefer fishing dur
ing the month of October than earlier in
the season. and some of them wait until
They find that live bait is easier to han

what they had expected, and another trip

Leaving the wharf at the foot of 9th
street about o'clock in the afternoon
the party Of anglers went direct to Blacki-
stons Island, spending day on what is
known as Herring Island bar, favorite
place for perch, rock and trout. Great
sport was enjoyed on the bar. and when
fish enough for two days consumption
had been landed anchor was hoisted and
start made in the direction of the lower
river
Short visits were paid Colonial Beach.
;Bushwood. Riverside and other places.
At BushwQod Oystermen were oyerhauled
and induced to furnish supply of BIZ
valves for a roast on the shore, while at
other places crab feasts were enjoyed.
Fish were plentiful at every place where
the anglers cast their lines, and when
the time came for the return trip to be-
gin the eleven fishermen were sorry 1t
was not the beginning of another trip.
Chappawamsic was visited Sunday and
Monday by more anglers than the ma
tives had seen there on any prior occa-
sion, and the holiday outing was greatly
enjoyed. Sunday the high winds inter-
fered with the success Of the anglers.
and Monday, during the earlier part of
the day the. fish did not seem SO plenti-
full. Most Of the fish that were caught
were small ones, and the disgusted an
glers sought enjoyment elsewhere.
Jesse Middleton and Henry Talbot,
who have scarcely missed a Sunday trip
to Chappawamsic, this season, were
among those who spent the two days
there. Sunday they caught twenty small
bass. but the size of the fish did not
have the effect of driving them home

fish are large or small, scarce or plenti-
full. and they remained to see what they
could do Monday.
Monday there was a largely increased
number of anglers on hand, but during
the early hours there was not much do
