Doesn't Run on Schedule.

Doesn't Run on Schedule.
MANY a day we've cruised around
in the Stream from 9 to 4:3O
without seeing sailflsh. and We can
imagine the kick those lucky anglers
got out of that catch near Stuart.
1t must have been like that unprece-
dented bluefish run off Oregon Inlet
in May Of 1885 when the big blues
were so thick it became nothing less
than slaughter. and the boat that
didn't land 600 pounds or more wasn't
doing much fishing.
But the truth is that sailfish don't
run to schedule. They're in the
stream one day and not there the
next. The guides know that a sloppy
day in the stream. with a northeast
wind kicking up a choppy swell, is
the best kind of day. and still. calm
day when the blue water is like a mill
pond isn't so good They agree that
the sailfishing is best right after a
north wind and before the choppy
swell has abated. But there are lots
Of thing they don't know about sail.
They didn't find out how to catch
them until about 1915 when Bill Hatch
originated the drop-back method of
hooking them after the strike. Prior
to that they struck with the strike Of
the fish and lost practically all of
their strikes. Now they know the sail

and then grabs it in his mouth. The
"drop-back" is the circling period.

customers think we don't know our
business, so in self-defense We have to
bring 'em in
That's their business, but there
aren't as many sail caught at Miami
as at Palm Beach. from our observa-
ton. Maybe it's because there are
more boats and the competition is a
little tougher. And maybe it's be-
cause of the almost universal custom
at Palm Beach of releasing the fish.
But whatever the case, that little
town of Stuart is stealing the show
from its more robust Southern neigh
bors. Stuart is 80 miles north of
Palm Beach and around 100 north of
Miami It's whistle stop OF the
big road south, and most motorists
pass right through it without looking
around. But the sail are there. They
must be when you glance over catch

be sensational at either Miami or

They figure that Stuart and the waters

Promises Consideration for

HROVIDENCE, r. l., Feb. To-
- Walter E. O'Hara's resignatio
as president and managing
L director of the Narragansett
Racing Association brought from Gov.
Robert E. Quinn today a promise Of
every reasonable consideration" for
the track.
Quinn, the turfman's foremost politi-
cal foe in a ive-month battle, de-
clined to comment on prospects for the
1888 racing season, but said:
IT the association has divorced it
self Of Mr.. O'Hara, the State Of Rhode
Island stands ready to give 1t every
reasonable consideration"
Treasurer Resigns, Too.
nU1NN'S repeated assertion that
Narragansett never would be per-
mitted to operate in Rhode Island
while O'Hara was at its head, was
enforced with bayonets last October
when the Governor called out militia
to prevent the parks fall opening.
O'Hara severed his connections at
the expensive racing plant in nearby
Pawtucket yesterday only an hour or
two before stockholders were to ballot
on proposals to remove him. Joseph
A. L. Duffy, track treasurer, resigned
with him.
Judge James E. Dooley, vice presi-
dent, said the association would give
O'Hara $25 900 and a life insurance
policy in return for cancellation of his
contract as managing director, which
had three years to run.
