Anglers recall a season the tuna

The kite was the answer. He

places on boats of all descriptions to
watch the opening events of the

whats in . nAme?"
This time 1t Is reference to that
big, black fish found in the lower bay
and generally called bonito. But OBJ
jections sometimes arise to this from
anglers who claim it is not the true
bonito.
Capt. Bryan Travis of Cape Charles,
who probably has guided more parties
after them than any other skipper
down there, calls them bonito and
cannot be shaken from his stand.
That he knows his fish and fishing
and can produce results is evidenced
by his heavy bookings. and it was
only last week end when this de-
partment was down there that the
subject was brought up for discussion.
Some people want 10 call
them cabio," he said, but
cabio means crab cater in
Spanish. and is slow, sluggish
bottom feeder"
"Once you see the fight these fish
put up you will realize they are neither
slow nor sluggish. They seem to act
like q cross between . tarpon and .
channel bass. They will fight on the
top and shake their heads like tArpon
and then sound and give q heavy
underwater battle. I've read books
on the subject. and I've decided they
are bonito, and I call EN- that"
The Other Side.
Col. Bill Chantland has other ideas.
Chantland is an experienced angler,
with years of fishing all over the
East Coast to his credit. The bonito
is a member Of the tuna family and
rarely goes over 20 pounds" he writes.
Call them black bonito. perhaps.
but better they could be cabio or even
cobia or ling, as they are called in
the Gulf, although there's another
ling. 4 member of the COO family. AS
cabio 1t probably can have . name
Of its own"
Editors note-The Cape Charles
fish more often than not go over 20
pounds. Field and Stream records
make no mention Of top weight in
that speciesD
The mako shark Is another
big fish whose identity often b
mixed with that Of others.
We are not going into that discus
sion here except to record a good
catch. 1t was made by Col. Hugh d.
Wise Of Princeton. N. j., author of
Tigers of the Sea" His fish weighed
over $50 pounds and was caught of

for Season Peak.
Spec ial Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, July 2.-The 1886
boating season reaches the peak of its

national scope and leading sectional
functions scheduled in abundance
throughout the country.
More than so motorboat events are
included on the July program Of in
board, outboard, sail, auxiliary and
cruiser racing. Cruiser competition
particularly will experience a revival
during the month with at least four
major long distance runs on the
schedule.
Big Race on West Coast.

ish Columbia, on the Pacific Coast
and the annual l00-nautical mile Block

fixture, most popular of all cruiser
races, on July is.
Other cruiser tests include q 70-mile
predicted log run at Portland, Me-, on
July Is and the Capt Billop Trophy
dash around Staten Island on July II,
nboard and outboard runabouts
and hydroplanes. the speed craft OF
the recreational boating fleet, will
swing into action on a regatta circuit
covering 1s States.
Surprisingly. much of the months
motorboat racing activity will be cen.
tered on inland lakes and rivers in
Indiana. Ohio, Wisconsin. Missouri
Texas, Minnesota, Michigan and Illi-
nois.
Two New York Regattas.
In the East the July interest will
be focused on the New York outboard

urday and Sunday and the State in
board titular program at Northport,

Yachtsnen Desert Washington for Virginia Peninsula
Slo,oer Speed Limit for Big T
Boots in Congested Potomac
Area Asked by Sail Leader

The hArbor precinct was asked by
the Potomac River Sailing Association
to patrol the course for the races this
spring, as 1t was felt that they could
adequately protect the sailing fleet
during the races. The police have
complied with this request and have
co-operated to the extent Of their
limited facilities for this kind of
work. It Is obvious that with the
phenomenal growth Of the use Of the
water by small boats in Washington
and the anticipated continued growth.
that the present size Of the harhor
precinct is entirely inadequate to pro-
tect those using the facilities. It Is
felt that proper protection will neces-
state . strict enforcement Of the
police regulations cited above through
out the waters bordering the Dis
trict, and this cannot be done with
the present force Of "A men. The
majority Of pleasure power boats Of
the Washington area are operated
with due care and caution and the
United States Power Squadron has
carried out an extensive educational
program among its members on rules
and navigation.
Experience Is Vital.
1t is very disconcerting, particularly
during . sailing race. 10 have q boat
pass close to or create q large wake
or wash in the vicinity of the sailing
vessels and also boats at anchor. It
Is very dangerous under some circum-
stances. Most of the motor boat op-
orators know this and slow down or
pass wide of the feet. such action
being one Of the fundamental courte-
sizes Of seamanship. There are some
few, however, usually through ig-
norance, who do not realize this, but
as soon rs they do generally govern
themselves accordingly.
Before . person sails In crowded
waters or near other boats he should
learn to handle his boat under all
conditions Of wind and water. This
knowledge cannot be gained from
books nor obtained overnight and
cannot be determined from an exam
nation, as it is the exigency of the
moment that is the test of seaman-
ship.
1t is very seldom that a loss Of life
occurs where experienced yachtsmen
are concerned. as familiarity with the
water does not breed contempt, but
. very great respect for its power and
ways!
