THE Potomac Is reported clear
and the Shenandoah a little
cloudy at Harpers Ferry, but

Capt. Aubrey Shepard at Gunston
Cove reports that the water in the

Capt. Shepard informs us that last
Monday one angler landed IL bass

landed bass, pike and ! perch.
Evidently the cooler days and nights
are causing the bass to strike.
Fishing has been very poor for the

from the mouth of West River to a

landed practically nothing. Others
fishing at different places reported
the same result.
Plenty Of small blues are being
landed in the nets Of the commercial
fishermen, and Capt. Noah Hazard
also reports catching many sea trout in
his nets on the mouth of West River,
but these fishes have not been strik-
ing. We get an occasional report
that a school of blues was observed
at different points in the Bay, and one
angler reports that he landed Sc of

from California concert tour,
brought back to the East story
of a new California wunderkind,
an 8-year-old pianiStic marvel
whose feats would very soon rival
those of her fellow Californian,
Yehudi Menuhin. A few listened

then forgot all about it.
