Hook, Line and Sinker

don our hats to Albert Miller of
 Seymour Park. If anybody is justi-
 lied in receiving all the doffings of
 the city, this boy is. We suppose
 you all saw the big trout. if you
 didn't you will have the opportunity
 Of seeing 1t later when he will have
 1t mounted and it will be on ex- l hibitton at one of the local sport
 ing goods stores. We saw it the first
 day it was in the city and we want
 to say right here that it was posi-
 lively the prettiest trout We have
 ever had the good fortune to see.
 Of course Albert won't say where
 he caught tive wouldn't ourselves
 but it is very improbable that any
 more fish like that one are swim
 ming around the place he located
 this one. Did you know that he had
 to hoist the fish some five feet up
 to the bank before the battle was
 over' That hoist was the part Of
 the fight that put grey hairs on
 Walters temples.
 The last few days of the season are on us once more. and very
 good days they are turning out to be. Trout fishing has advanced to that stage of the game called "hole fishing is. the shallows will be too warm from now on to harbor any trout and the nimrod will spend his time going from pool to pool
 And let us hope that most Of those pools contain the usual late-June wallopers.
 Our appeal for place to spend our vacation has brought a flood of replies. We have been stopped on the street and we have been written and we have been called on the telephone. The prize award of ou, patronage has been given to the gent who recommended St. Regia Falls, N. Y. You who have been up in that district can tell Us whether or not we were wise but those both of them-who recommended the place tell us that it is the fish erman's paradise all for fifteen a week and canoe rent. We thank you all for your interest in our request, for advice.
 The Jolly Roger Fishing club, comprised of Captain Alfred h Griswold, Ernest A. Griswold, Albert Schultz and Rudy Zimmerman. made a trip last Sunday, breaking | open the season on blackfsh. Cap 1 tain Griswold caught the most. | bringing in nine blacks running from two to five pounds while Zim- merman contented himself in bring 1 ing in the largest, hauling up . nine pound specimen. Schultz and tho Griswold member of the party drowned crabs without results.
 Al Schultz has proved himself public spirited chap by announcing that the biggest fish caught by gem bers of the club would be awarded cup at the end of the season. Rudy says the cup is his already Captain Iriswold states that he has the rest ng place for the trophy all picked put. Hap" wants to know when he will be awarded the cup and Al Schultz says that he isn't giving he silver stein to any outsiders but hat it is going to remain in the Schultz family. And there the mat .er rests.
 John A. Larson, common council member from the fourth district, Is m ardent fisherman. When busi- less and city cares depress the office lolder little too much, he hies him way to Saybrook and there forgets lis troubles angling for flat fish. Be- ides being chairman of the claims committee and several other offices. 'ohn holds certain records ill Say ,rooh as a fiat fish snarer
 Say folks. it's time somebody did om ething about our fire fighting riend. Tom Dolan. You'll remem- CT that Tom was reported to have aught the limit out Columbia way ast week and today the report floats ito the office that Thursday after oon at { o'clock he left the city, lotored 45 minutes until he reached iranby, fished, returned to this city t s:55 oclock-with the limit!
 We doubted 1t too, until we were M tn 0 nd | ,ok at them. Last year Tom caught ) many fish that his friends at the re house began to wink significant , / at each other when he came in ith late reports. This year Tom has ept little book with. the number fish caught 50 far this season. To- ay the little book contains the ames of approximately 160 brook out. Tom has caught the limit lree times this year, has caught yer 10 exactly eight times and has ome home without fish just once. oy, get us out that laurel wreath , ,r the gentleman.
 We have decided that we will ever catch any fish sitting at home , we are going out this afternoon IF. far away. where big trout bloom the brooks. We have arrived at | lat stage of the game where we TO saying already-"We don't care T
 we catch any or not-we'll have n its of fun" This time 1t happens 8 be the truth-we don't give | n
