AQUATIC Notes.

Beverley c. Kingdom is having cedar
row boat built for use on the upper creek.
Game Warden Morton is making eff
forts to have the upper creek stocked
with 5000 black bass.
Members of the Early Risers' Club i'm
tend to erect lockers for their own use in
their bungalow on the upper creek.
Charles Peacock, of Florence, the we'll
known base ball player, was camping ON
the upper creek near Pemberton last
week
Having offered his launch for sale,
Claude B. Bullock has arranged for the
purchase of lumber with which he will
build a cunning sliff.
Quite number of gunners went down
the creek yesterday after reed and rail
birds. There were many shooters along
that stream, as the season opened on
legal holiday.
A large tree that was blown over on
the upper creek during Friday nights
storm, fioated down stream and found
Judgment across the creek at Croshaws
gully, obstructing navigation. A large
oak toppled over into Hulme's cove,
where the water is strewn with many
limbs that were torn from other trees.
Canoeists will now enter upon their
fall campaign of pleasure on the upper
creek, which is the most delightful pc
Rod of the year for the enjoyment of
such outings. With the oppressive heat
on the wane, paddlers win be in a posi-
ton to note the gradual changes of
foliage which will soon assume beauty
of rare magnificence.
A camping party enjoyed an assort-
ment of fish for their breakfast on Sun
day morning which they caught at their
location near Smithville. While fish
ing at the Ewanville bridge on Thurs
day, Charles Caudle and Robert Graham
caught three large black bass. They
used minnows cut in half for bait. Four
teen calico bass were caught at the en-
trance to the saw mill raceway on Sun
day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers, of Philadelphia
who have boarded in Mount Holly dur
ing the summer, spending most of their
time on the upper creek, had an exciting
experience on Sunday. Mr.. Rogers was
using double paddles for the first time,
and in some manner one end of the
paddle became tangled in an overhang-
ing tree; at the same time the other end
struck submerged stump, overturning
the canoe. 1t was their farewell trip, and
they had sent all their baggage to their
home in Philadelphia, SO they were hard
put to obtain dry clothing.
Starting out in canoe at 5 o'clock
yesterday morning with a quantity of
baggage, a camping outfit and firearms
sufficient to scare all the game in the
pines, Neil McKenna, of Dubells drug
store, and Edward Powell left Hacks
wharf for trip of exploration on the
upper creek, on which stream it is their
intention to paddle until further navi-
CATION becomes impossible. McKenna
was dressed in his typical cowboy out
fit, and despite his diminutive size, his
general appearance will certainly startle
some of the natives with whom
they expect to come in contact
The trip is expected to last week, pro-
vided the young men don't get cold feet
On the way up they will stop the first
night at Hartman's Hotel, Pemberton;
the following day they will take dinner
at the almshouse as guests of Steward
Bovine; relatives near that institution
will furnish the supper and they will
trust TO Providence for the rest, with the
likelihood of landing in the asylum be-
fore reaching home.
