ISOLATION, local chapter of the 1zaak
Walton League. held its annual Fail
fishing excursion at Chesapeake Beach.
The outing this year was unfortunate
in that it met with adverse weather
conditions. There had been a strong
northeast wind blowing all during the
week and on last Sunday 1t blew per-
haps q little harder. Noah Hazard,
Beach, did not want to risk taking the
anglers out in the Bay, but finally con-
sented to 60 out q short distance. Just
q few small fish were landed and the
prizes Of some Of the donors were re-
turned to them as no fish in that par
ticular class were caught. Bad weather
is one of the things the angler has to
contend with and cannot help. II our
memory Is not at fault, this organiza-
ton met with practically the same con-
ditions last year. There were about 80
enthusiasts on hand for this excursion
and from reports over two-thirds OF
them did not catch fish.
TODAY the Atlas Sports Goods Co.
i Is giving its annual fishing excur-
sion to the Beach. A special train
will leave the District Line ct 8 am, re-
turning at pm. It Is hoped that bet
ter conditions will await the anglers to-
day than prevailed last Sunday. Many
handsome prizes will be awarded the
lucky fishermen. Ollie Atlas, as usual,
will be in charge of the outing. The fair
members of the angling fraternity are
cordially invited to participate in this
event.
