There have been some changes
made in the proposed hunting
seasons for doves, rails and gal
linules. For instance preliminary
date set for dove shooting in Vir-
ginia was Sept. Is. 1t has been
moved back to October 2. The
season for rails and gallinules in
Maryland and Virginia was orig
inally set for Sept. 15-Nov. IL.
1t has been changed to Sept. l..
Final closing date has not yet
been set. General wild waterfowl
are expected to be
promulgated about August 26 this

It is with sincere regret that we
note the death last Wednesday of
Joseph Cleveland Fletcher, known
to thousands of anglers as "Cap'n
joe" operator of Fletcher's boat
livery at Edes Mill Cove near the
junction of the Canal and New
Cut Road.
Our earliest recollections of
fishing in the Potomac take us
back to our boyhood days when
"Old" Capt. Joe Fletcher, his
father, who operated this boat
facility, used to give advice on
how to best lure rockfish, perch
and catfish, and we knew Cap'n
Joe before he took over the busi-
ness upon the death of his father.
No man of his time knew the Po-
tomac in the Chain Bridge area as
did Cap'n Joe.
An ardent angler up to the
time of his last illness, he knew
every rock, eddy and run of the
river, and his uncanny knowl-
edge was frequently drawn upon
in rescueS of upset anglers and
pleasure boaterS. His son, Julius
Fletcher, will carry on on the best
traditions of the family.

did give trouble for those who had
long approaches and had to roll

The Raven, sailboating's most
talked of class since the Thistle,
makes it's racing debut in the
Chesapeake Bay area tomorrow at
the Corsica River Yacht Club re-
gatta.
If such a thing is possible, Ra-
ven shippers are as enthusiastic
about their 24-foot, sloop-rigged
centerboarders as Thistle owners
are about their 17-foot center
board Sloops. John A. McAleer,
Raven designer from Riverside,
r. l., claims one of his boats was
clocked at IA knots in a 40-mile
blow last May.
Not much speed if it were
power boat, but for a wind-pro-
PEELED craft, that's really moving
through the water.
Charles Lucke, jr., chairman of
the Corsica Race Committee, says
four Ravens will race the series.
a double-hea tomorrow and a
final race Sunday. Other classes
are Stars, Thistles, Penguins,
Hamptons, Comets. two small boat
handicap divisions and A B and
C cruising classes for big boats.
