BOWERS BEACH

One among the largest crowd of
and Sunday Of last week that is usual
ly seen here.
The object of many was to take in
the hook and line fishing in the bay
but they were sorely disappointed as
the weather conditions during the
whole weekend was against them
when the sky was clear and looked
free from storms the wind was north
ward which caused the waters Of the
bay to be rough and unpleasant to
| the occupants of the boats and more
| over fish as a rule do not bite the
/ hook freely when the weather condi-
/ tiOns were like they were during the
weekend But in spite of all quite a
number prevailed on the managers Of
/ the boats to take them out and see
what could be done, however. those
/ who made the start did not tarry long
/ some boats scarcely reaching the
/ fishing grounds when the occupants of
/ the boats would cry enough. let's go
| for shore OF the thirty-seven motor
/ boats that are in operation and har-
Dor in the Murderkill river had the
weather been favorable, had engage
ments for as many as their boats
would carry conveniently, beside a
large number of boats from up the
bay and river that came in the mouth
of the river for harbOr Saturday eve
ming that were practically loaded
with men who were on fishing bent.
This place as a fishing center with
hook and line is gaining in popular
ity every season as not only Witness
ed by the great numbers that come
here for that purpose but it is no
secret with men from the cities and
tii--sae-ddjio the sae-dd joining states who 90 from
place to place in quest OF the sp0rt7T
say that the fishing rounds are more
accessible and the accommodations |
are better and fish more plentiful /
than at any other place they go.
Lynch Wallace and Tomlinson of |
Philadelphia who were among the pio- /
neer fishermen with hook and line /
here come here for fifteen or more
years and are considered experts in
the piscatory art, came down with
their boat and paraphanalia on Sat
urday last and expect to remain about
a month. Their families have taken
cottage for the time on Murderkll
River front The steamer, Frederica,
is taxed to her fullest to move the
freight that is brought to her wharf.
On Thursday of last week she had to
turn back seven large loads of fruit
apples, at her wharf here,
she having loaded on all she could or
was safe for her to carry. On Monday
Of this week she managed to load all
he perishable freight and leave for
4 future time the freight that was
lOn-perishable.

Quite an exciting time occurred ov-
+ in South Bowers on Sunday after
Don last when a pack of fox hounds
rove a fox into that shore Settle
lent when the fox was first observed
etween the cottages and the water
dge. The whole settlement men,
omen and children turned out to
lpture the fox, they finally rounded
up and it sought shelter under one
the cottages where two men ]
rawled under the house and succeed
/ in putting a moose over the animal
cad and brought it out After putting
le fox in box for some time to rest "
p, it was liberated
The reckless drivers of automobiles
nd speed fiends, especially in the
'wn limits, are beginning to sit up
nd take notice. Town officers hauled
three or four offenders last week
nd treated them to a respectable fine
4 dcOsts and told them what they
ould do should a second or similar
large be preferred. This is having
le desired effect. A word to the wise
sufficient.
