The second attempt to rid the Basin
Of some OF the carp which infest its
waters will be started next Wednes-
day. The net for this purpose. which
was ordered from Baltimore, has ar
rived. The work this time will be
done under the direction Of Frank
Boswell, who has been catching carp
and other fish all his life. and knows
all their tricks Boswell says he will
catch the majority OF the big carp
and is willing to bet on the outcome.
During the long interval Of time be-
tween the first and second attempts
to get rid of these undesirable fish
the Bureau of Fisheries. under the
supervision of Glen C. Leach, chief of
the Division of Fish Culture. has
gone merrily along and planted bass
and crappies as fast as they could be
located at the different hatcheries of
the Bureau.
The anglers Of The Evening Star
Club on its outing last Sunday TO
the Biltmore Swimming Club at South
River, near Annapolis. had only fair
success. The first batch of fishermen
reached South River early in the
morning, and after spending four
hours on the bay put In with a catch
OF SO hardheads and spots. The rest
OF the fishing members of the club
put out at a. later hour and returned
with a much smaller catch.
But the outing was a success. and
all were well repaid by having good
swim and a chicken and sea food din
ner. The bathing at this place was
so good that a great many were lure1
back into the water after their din
ner. These bathers again worked up
an appetite, which was appeased by
a buffet supper, served just before
the return "trip was started. The out.
ing was under the supervision of
Hank" Hanford, president Of the
club.
One of the pleasant surprises of the
present fishing season is the appear
ance of the bluefsh, or taylor, at
various points along the bay. The
festive and extremely active bluefish
has not waited for the departure of
the famous lardhead, whose advent
hereaboCts is always acclaimed by
local anglers. and which fingers in
adjacent salt water every season until
the bluefish makes his way from the
Southern fields.
Frank Hoover and a fishing COM
panion went out in a boat off Chesa-
peake Beach the first OF last week
and brought back the news of the
bluefish arrival and exhibited the
aforesaid fish in proof. Since then
there has been some excitement and
lively taylor fishing off the long pier
at the beach. There have been some
big catches and the first run of the
fish has provided some great sport.
Along with the biuefisn and not sec

A few of the larger and very choice
kind of rockfish have graced the
strings Of those who have fished out
in the deep waters Of the bay. The
rock do not come into shore as much

REPORTS from the lower Potomac

sport for the anglers.
One of the best places on the lower
Potomac is Rock Point. because here
the angler has his choice Of fishing
either in the Potomac or the Wicomico

of the number OF rockfish that once
infested its waters, is one of the
prettiest places on the Potomac. 1t

Rock Point is situated just below
Colonial Beach across the Potomac on
the Maryland side. Those visiting the
Point for a week or two can motor
across the river to Colonial Beach or
can go back about eight miles to
Morgantown and take the ferry over.
Piney Point. just below Rock Point.
is another popular place for the
anglers. AS a matter OF fact there
are any number of good fishing places
within several miles of Rock Point,
Leonardtown and Breton Bay being
only few miles distant.

RESOLUTION

The First Presbyterian Church
Of VaShon has suffered great
loss in the death of Mr.. Arie Eer-
nissc who passed from this life on
Christmas evening.
Mr.. Eernisse was a faithful and
devoted member of the church
and one of its charter members,
having served as first treasurer
and Deacon continuously since its
Organization.
Since God in his good wisdom
saw fit to remove our brother
from t"e Church Militant to the
Church Triumphant;
Therefore be it resolved, that
I'VE, the Session, bow in humble
submission, and commend the fam
lily to Him who can give that com
fort and consolation which the
world can neither give nor take
away.
Be it resolved further, that
copy of these minutes be spread
on the Church records, and that
a copy be given to the family,
and a copy sent to the Ncws-Re-
cord for publication
The Committee.
By order of the Session.

SANS SOUCI CONCERT
DELIGHTS EVERYONE

There were many blistered
hands on the island Tuesday
morning, the result of so much ap.
plauding at the concert given at
the Community Home the evening
before by the Sans Souci Trio, as
sisted by George Rogovoy, cellist,
and Prof. Butler, as Director.
There was a representative audi
ence present, and every number on
the program was well received by
those who bravcd the fog to be
present. Will Y. Reed, manager
of the troupe, showed himself a
past master in the art Of arrange
ment, and Mrs. Robinson of the
Community Home, the thanks of
music lovers of the island for max
ing it possible to bring such an ex
cellent body of first class perform.
ers to our door. II was a program
that would have been credit in
the Metropolitan Theatre at $500
per seat, while il was given on our
island for only a fifty cent ad-
mission. 1t isn't saying too much
to state that undoubtedly it was
the highest grade musical program
ever rendered on the island.
Miss England, a sister of Charles
England, has as sympathetic a
voice as ever caroled a tune, under
perfect control, and sang an
"Elegy" from Massenet with such
expression that many looked and
listened as though Jenny Lind
were again incarnate. She is Pres.
ident of the Mu Phi Epsilon, Hon
orary Music Sorority of the U. of
w.
Mrs Gearhart sang GA Gypsy
Maiden" so effectively that in her
was combined all that Barrie saw
in "Babbie" and Hugo saw ii.
"Esmeralda" and with her black
eyes and raven hair carried every
one back to Sunny Spain and the
golden days described by Locke
in his Beloved Vagabond."
Mrs. Ross has the pcise of Schu,
mas Heink as well as her tone
rang, with the added charm of
a youthful voice and fresher spirit.
Responding to an encore, she sang
"Jock and Jennie" with such
force that even the Scotch who
We're present declared they got
more than their money S worth.
George Rogovoy, the Russian
cellist, is marvel. He has play
ed many times before royalty, but
sweeter tones never came from any
cello than those which came from
his instrument at this concert. The
instrument on which he played was
presented to him by Prince Oldep-
bersky and was "Guanerius"
valued at $6,000.00 but the music
was in the player not in the in
strument.
Our own Prof. j. E. Butler, was
the director and accompanist and
and Mr.. Rogovoy showed his ap-
probation for Prof. Buffers skill
by shaking his hand at the close
of the first selection and thanking
him for his mastery of the piano.
