THE third month of The Stars
fishing contest has passed into
history. Upon completion Of
careful examination Of the fish
entered Rod and Stream finds that
William B. Holton Of 1921 Newark street
Is the winner for the fresh-water prize,
having landed a small-mouth black bass
at whitewater on August 16 weighing
4 pounds 21a ounces. Holton caught
his prize fish on a Heddon fly rod and
. bass bug.
Fred w. Lehnert of Fort Myer, Va,
won the saltwater prize with trout
weighing 614 pounds, landed at Ken
wood Beach, Md, August "a.
In his letter entering his fish Lehnert
said:
This is to certify that caught one
trout with hand line at Kenwood Beach,
Md, August "a, between $50 and IN.
1.-THE fish was 30 inches long and
weighed 81 pounds heavy.
MY wife and 1 were spending the
week end with Mr.. and Mrs. John
Portch at their cottage at Kenwood
Beach. We we're out in the Portch's
motor boat about five miles from shore
when I made the catch. Mr., Portch
ana MS SOn-ln-IaW, fLdy rTllily WCIC
present and saw me pull 1t in"
Big Trout Not Entered.
These anglers are requested to come
10 room 723 Star Building and receive
their prizes. Rod and Stream knows
that a seven-pound trout was landed,
but this flsh has never been entered in
the contest despite the fact that its
cantor brought his fish to us and we
ho q YfCtflFa nf IN There rules
governing every contest and they must
be followed in order to win. The angler
with the seven-pound trout lost an OPP
portunity to get a complete saltwater
fishing outfit by not entering his fish.
Perhaps he will land another during
September and, if SO, we earnestly re-
quest that he cut his entry blank from
Fridays Star and send 1t in. Another
angler enters catfish weighing 1872
pounds, but this species of fish is not
eligible for a prize, the contest being
confined to game fish, namely, large
and small mouth black bass in fresh
water and trout, rockflsh and taylors
in salt water.

they encounter the better satisfied they

2O4-pound Catch.
On the last outing the sharks were
numerous, every man in the party land
ing one or two, but when another

A shark swiftly came along and bit
sne fish in two, they really got angry
and called 1t day
