the nearest neighbOr might live dis

were not thought Of because they were
beyond the bounds OF possibility, the
very nature of life on the frontier was
such as TO make for a hardy, vigorous
and resourceful people.
Methods Of removing the forests and

THE BEST SPORTING PAGE IN WILMINGTON.

Under the watchful eye OF Dennis
Connell, who has become quite an
adept in the art Of fly and bait cast
ing, fifteen members Of the association
reported at the military grounds last
evening and received their first instruc-
tlon, in bait casting, both for long dis
tance and accuracy. Those who par
tcipated in the practice were very much
elated over some OF the casts and sew
eral made some remarkably long
drives. From every indication. these

meeting next Friday evening, at the
military grounds, at Z o'clock that they
may be able to judge the ability OF the
caster and selections made for the first
tournament which Will be held In the
near future.
Bait and fly casting is a new event
In the local field Of sport and is being
introduced in Wilmington by the asso-
citation. II was very pleasing to note
the interest In this kind OF sport not
only remained with the anglers, as
quite a number Of people were attracted
by the members trying to cast the bait
TO q certain distance. These casting
events are held regularly in the west
ern States and are represented by Sc
lected teams from all the principal
cities, both east and west In some OF
the western cities the angling clubs
have their own private lakes, and upon
these some Of the regular tournaments
are held. These clubs are composed Of
the best bait and 1y casters in the
States
Small white flags marked the distance
OF 70 and 100 feet and several times
these distances were very easily passed
Pond and Lee were high marks and
casted a distance Of between 1870 and
ii5 feet The casting weights used
were one-half ounce. This is consid-
cred a very good distance for this
weight. Harry Schrade was also in the
running and made some very good
drives.
