SLAUGHTER BEACH


as sports are concerned is that the
fish are biting and in regular
schools. Each day this week many
boats have gone to the coral beds
just off this resort and have return
| ed with any number of trout of the
large size. The largest catch
brought to our notice was that of
some Delmar men, who, on Friday
night of last week, landed ninety
five trout, some weighing between
five to seven pounds. On Monday
evening Charles Hackenburg and
Louis Plummer came back with
twenty trout of the big size. The
moonlight night fishing has been
much in vogue this week and the
lights from the boats on the fishing
grounds, added to the light made by
Luna has been enjoyed by those on
shore. 1t has been an enjoyable
week in spite of the heat.
The favorite pastime of the week
for the children has been the flying
of kites. Any number can be seen
at all hours of the day with their
eyes turned skyward watching a
speck of color attached to a long
string. But these Juveniles tastes
vary like the breeze, for some new
form of amusement has to be
thought of every few days.
