BOWERS BEACH

Such a crowd of nimrOds has never
before assembled here to spend the
weekend in fishing bent as were here
ON the last weekend. The large ma
iority of them were from the cities,
the face gained by the license tags on
their cars as they numbered by the
scores if not by hundreds.
Your correspondent was cred1taDle
informed by an eyewitness that at one
time in the morning on Sunday there
were ifty-seven motor boats counted
ON the fishing grounds at one time
and they all were loaded with as
man vanglers as they would accommO-
date. Some of them having as many
as twenty persons to the boat.
Such is the attraction here for such
snort and all appear well satisfied
with their catches, not only in num-
bers but in the quality and size OF
their fish. One nimrod landed
trout that brought the scales down
to nine pounds, another party caught
one that weighed eight and quarter
mounds, and still another party land
ed four trout that weighed tWenty-1Our
pounds.
Some of the veteran and expert ang-
lers have come down from the cities
for their annual vacations and Will
remain for several weeks and take up
the hook and line fishing. for their
snort and recreation while here.
We find among them Robert Mckee
of Philadelphia, who has been coming
here for a number of years and VINO
has passed the three score and ten
markby several years. He and his wife
have taken rooms at the Kent cottage
hotel and will remain the remainder
of the season. He delights in taking
trip in the bay every day when condi-
tiOns will admit and is considered an
expert with the rod andreel.
William e. Lynch, H. H. Wallace
and P. E. TOmlinsOn and their famll-
les of Philadelphia have taken the
"Annie W. cottage for a few weeks
and having brought along their own
motor boat they will be found on the
fishing grounds in the bay at any
time when conditions will permit.
These three followers of Isaac Walton
in former seasons generally carried
off the laurels in numbers caught dur
ing their stay at this point. This sea-
son they are going to try and exceed
in numbers of any former season. Z
They have in their party Jack West, a
lad of fourteen years, who go out with
them on all occasions and on one or
two occasions has been second hlgh !.
in his catches. :,
