morning were enjoyed. They had such
good luck that they repeated their efforts
after dinner.
How many did We catch?" echoed
Luke Kearney, when his friend, John
T. Crowley, asked him about his luck.
It's shame to tell you what we did
to the fish,
There is one thing about Luke Kearney
and his fishing. He always says we

panions told it in confidence that Luke
caught twenty-seven of them, and de-

Hurley thought numbers would bring a
longer string Of fish when they went to
Great Falls Sunday. The five anglers
returned with '.oniy twenty bass said
Hurley.
But" he added, ''none of them was
small, although none was exceptionally
large. Several tipped the scales at two

Samuel H. Kaufman, I'd. the eleven
year-old son of Victor Kaufman. has
been fishing this season with his father
In New Brunswick, Canada. Friday, July
30, he hooked and landed unaided a fif-
teen-pOund salmon.
The battle was royal and lasted
thirty-f1ve minutes. Considering the fact
that he was using a light grilse rod, the
ordinary salmon rod being too heavy for
him to handle, the feat was all the more
creditable.
The following day Mr.. Kaufman land
ed five big salmon, this being the record
for a days fishing on the river this year
Col. Myron NJ Parker and his son.
Myron NJ. Parker, jr., who is junior at
Princeton, have also been enjoying ex-
cellent sport, as the salmon fishing on
the Tobique river has been better this
year than for number of years past.
William Wagner. member of one of the
clubs on the west bank Of the Patuxent
river, spent day on the river near the
club recently. With Richard Sunderland
caretaker. he went in the direction of
the Calvert county side and tried his luck
fishing for yellow perch.
The Patuxent river Is one of the best
places in this section for such fish, an
glers state. The two fishermen returned
to the home of the club with $40 good
size fish.

Mr.. Wagner, Anglers who have never
fshed for yellow perch do not realize
what sport there Isl to be had catching
them. especially when the fish are not

George Mckenzie fished a small net
near where the yellow perch were caught
and took from the river about 500 rock
fish.
James P. Roots and William I. Johnson
went to Great Falls last Sunday and spent
several hours above the dam. 1t was their
first trip to that section They had such
good luck that they returned Thursday
night to try again yesterday.
While they did not get any record
breaking fish last Sunday, they did catch
enough to give them the fever. Friends
predict that they will spend so much
time there the remainder of the season
that they will almost become voters.
