homes and especially those from the
cities. While a few remain and will

of the mid-season so far as visitors
here were concerned.
On Saturday the manager of the
motor boat, Ruth s. took party of
six out and they returned with two
hundred and fifty-six speckled beau
ties as a reward for their time spent
in the bay, others returned with sim
liar success.
Another party out with Captain
Mike Finn came in with a splendid
catch and among them there were
fourteen trout that ran in weight
from four and One-half to seven and
one-half pounds. this was the finest
lot of trout caught by any one COM
pany of fishermen that has been
brought ashore during the seasons
fishing.
]. p. Cross took a part of visiting
friends out on Sunday, the party was
headed by John Hendren of RoxborO,
Pa They caught an extra supply of
fish. They attributed their fine sue
cess to the extra bait they had to
use, being blood worms and shedder
crabs which they brought with them.
While much rivalry has existed be-

the motor transportation boats that
have operated here this season it
seemed at all times to be good ma

last week some miscreant sought to
put two of Arthur Stokesbury's boats
out of commission by destroying or
removing some parts of the motor
which caused much delay and trouble
in getting the matter adjusted.

from elsewhere are being supplied
with fine oysters from the cut in the
bay at the approach of the mouth of
