There is a deadly earnestness about the
rules which govern the sort of tackle that
must be used for the different classes and
varieties OF fish and the manner in which
they must be taken. For n fisherman to put
hands to line means disqualification.
Fishing for tuna is iercely exciting. If

in hand. There may be harder and more
exhausting work, but not in the realms VI
sport. Only a strong man in perfect con-
dition can battle for two hours with a ninety
pound tuna without feeling the effect, and
even he will know that he has been in a
struggle.
The rod generally used is a split bamboo.
For tuna and swordfish the rod measures
six feet nine inches over all The tip must
be not less than five feet in length and must
not weigh more than ten ounces. The line
is a twenty-four thread cuttyhunk, though
for very heavy fish thirty-six thread line
is allowed The best rods cost $40 apiece.
The reels cost 800. The reel has brake on
each side and thumb drag.
Bronze, silver and gold buttons are
awarded as prizes in the different classes,
both for heavy and light tackle. In the
extra heavy class a tuna that weighs 100
pounds begets bronze button; 200 pounds.
a silver button 400 pounds, gold button.
In the tuna and swordfsh class a tuna that
weighs 40 pounds calls for bronze button !;
80 pounds a silver button; 100 pounds, a

swordfish of so. rs and 100 pounds.

are bronze, silver and gold buttons. The

Trick Horses Prove Dangerous

TT Is not always wise to teach horse
to play tricks as is proved by a story
told by an English army officer.
John Leech's inimitable circus horse that
insisted on sitting down with his rider when
ever he heard a band play was the proto-
type Of a horse belonging to the officer who.
in a weak moment, had taught It to rear up
and "salaam" whenever he leaned forward
to make a bow.
1t was all very pretty when the officer
was out riding and met any lady of his ac-
quaintance, but 1t became a nuisance when
he was out pig sticking in India. He would
lean forward to meet the rush Of a charg-
ing boar with his spear-up would go the
beast on end just at the moment when the
mans safety depended on his taking a true

and deadly aim with his spear point The
consequence was that the animals hind legs
showed many scars from boars' tusks. and
he was lucky that he did not end his career
with his body ripped open.
The officer had too, at one time fine
but somewhat nervous charger One day on
a parade the mount suddenly gave way with
the officer and quietly lay down The rider
thought for moment he was ILL., but on
rousina him he Immediately sprang to his
feet again. quite ft and well. week or
later when riding with friend they stopped
for a moment to admire the view. when
down the horse went. II was evident to the
officer that he had been trained to lie down
at given signal but tho man never could
discover for the life Of him what that signal
was.

and reel only and unaded Hand lining
or a broken rod disqualifies the catch. All
catches must be weighed officially and tackle
must be shown when the fish is weighed.
Lighter tackle than that mentioned in the
rules may be used.
The great light tackle expert is William
Payne Thompson. He ranks as the most
scientific fisherman who has visited Block
Island. He holds all records for light tackle
fishing.
The Clubs Grand Prize.
The Foster cup is the clubs grand prize
It is competed for annually. The name OF
each winner is engraved on the cup. Row
land Hazard of Rhode Island won this cup
in 1915 with forty-five pound tuna.
William Wilson 81 Perth Anooy, N. j., won
it this year with ninety pound tuna He
is known as 1.-THE best all round fisherman
in the club. He caught this year the great
est tuna ever caught in Atlantic waters. II
weighed ninety-five pounds. He used a
twenty-four thread Gittyhunk line and a
thirteen ounce split bamboo rod. The catch
was disqualified, as a shark had taken bite
out OF the big tuna.
While on the subject Of big fish, it might
be mentioned that the largest tuna taken
by hand line this year was caught by Capt
Elmer Dodge the best all round fisher
man on Block Island. While some club fish
ermen seldom or never come home without
a fish, some bring large catches, ana not a
few come back empty handed. Clifford
