Aquatic Notes.

During the past week couple of camp
ers, with their tent pitched on Charles
island, enjoyed themselves on the upper
creek.
The upper creek was an attraction for
many people on Sunday. A large num-
Der of boating parties made their appear
ance in the afternoon.
What is said to have been one of the |
largest catfish ever landed while fishing
on the Delsnco bridge. was prize drawn
from the water by Beanie" Barne. The
fish weighed 81 pounds.
Canoes for storage are being received !
almost weekly by Edward Hack, who finds
that he can only relieve the congestion by
an early completion of the addition to his
boat house which is well under way.
Starting out on Sunday morning at
O'Clock, Albert Sleeper and Harley Sheme-
liza. Jr., spent the day up the creek near
SmithvilIe. They returned late In the af-
ternoon with long string of fish of a
mixed variety.
The party of Mount Holly canoeists
who spent last week in Parker's bunga-
low at Surf City, returned home SUM-
day night well pleased with their outing.
They were glad to reach place where
there was an absence of mosquitoes.
William B. Noblette has an interesting
photograph. which he took from the en-
ha BRYANT Of Oobdolo of tho oro,,Y Of 90
noeists of the Ankokas Canoe Club, who
enjoyed their annual trip up the creek on
June 14th, and took dinner at Hartman's
Hotel, Pemberton.
Five members of the Ariel Boat Club,
of Brooklyn, arrived in Burlington, On
Thursday, and were entertained over
night at the Lakanoo Boat Club. They
came in a thirty-foot barge on rowing
trip from New York to Philadelphia, via
the Delaware and Raritan canal. The
oarsmen continued their trip on Friday
morning, well pleased with the hospitality
they received
Supremacy of the Lakanoo boat club, of
Burlington, among Delaware river canoe
lists was again thoroughly established at
the big regatta at Park Island, Trenton,
Saturday afternoon, when they won six
out of the eight races. aud also landed
several seconds and thirds, making total
of 35 points against Is for Yapewi Aquatic
Club, of Bordentown, their nearest COM
petitors.
The residents of New Egypt have de-
cided to hold their ninth annual carnival
on Oakford lake this summer, provided
the necessary funds can be raised. A
soliciting committee is now at work to see
what can be done In this direction, andeas
the members are meeting with success,
the date will be selected and preparations
made for the biggest and best event of
the kind ever held In that town.
With evidence of possessing but little
knowledge in the handling of canoe
containing five persons and with gun
wales nearly to the waters edge, two men
of the party, which started from Mount
Holly, were engaged in the fool work of
rocking the frail craft when seen near the
Ewanville bridge on Sunday morning. An
upset was expected by three men in ca
noe who stood by in case assistance be-
came necessary.
Perhaps the longest string of pike TAX
en- from the upper creek this year,
was brought in on Sunday by Lorenzo
Moore and Oliver G.. Billings, who will
be regarded as high men until their title
is exceeded by others. They had ten
pike, two of which weighed nearly four
pounds. After getting through with pike
fishing, they baited their hooks with
cheese and landed record breaking catfish
and club. Moore is used to such luck,
but it was a great day for Josh, who
caught the largest fish but the least in
number.
