 'Tuna, Che sreafese game fish that sWiFns,T is no longer peculiar to Santa Catalina, the rocky island off the coast of California, for 1t ts now definitely determined that the tuna is annually at home in Block Island waters. and that it is j2st as gamey as its Call ifornia coast cousin. Its presence has already resulted in the formation of the Atlantic Tuna club. which held it's first annual meeting at Block Is- land last Monday. And the prediction is that within a few years the sea encircled town will be gathering to it. self considerable of Catalina's glory.
 Up to a little over a year ago the Block Island tuna of today was swim ming under the handicap Of an odious name Natives spoke of 1t derisively as the horse mackerel and few fisher men caught 1t, except for fertilizer or for selling in markets patronized by new Americans, who do not consider fish so much for deaicacy as for its retail price. Horse mackerel was cheap; so they bought it.
 There is, after all. something Tn name. To Charles W.

 Not only has the president of the club himself caught several of the fish with rod and reel but some Of the best known men in this city have found the sport popular.
 It is not an easy problem to 1and 200 pound fish, mad with fright and full of fight. by means of line which is not much more than stout thread. To the on-fisherman 1t seems an tm- possibility, but the rod and reelers know better. They anticipate accounts of captures in Block Island waters which will compare satisfyingly with the records that every visitor to Cat alina has to hear about.
 So sure are they of these antictpa- tions being realized that at the last meeting of the Tuna club, awards of bronze. silver and gold buttons were voted for an extra heavy class of tuna. The bronze button goes to a member who catches a tuna over 100 pounds with specified tackle; the silver one
