THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 261 
The second day’s program began with 14-ounce distance bait 
casting. Cornell again proved his ability as a consistent caster by 
making the average of 154 feet, which took first place. Dr. McFar- 
land was second with 146 feet, and A. E. Burghduff third with 145 
feet. Over fifteen casters took part in this event, and the greater 
portion of them averaged well over 100 feet. 
The next event was the 144-ounce slam. Each man made five casts 
and the best single cast was to determine the winner. Dr. E. C. 
McFarland and W. F. Backus tied with 171 feet. In casting off the 
tie they still hung close together, as Backus made 164 feet and Dr. 
McFarland 163 feet 10 inches. C. R. Werner took third place in this 
event with 165 feet. 
The 14-ounce accuracy event was won by the same man who took 
the honors a year ago, W. C. Block, and he won the event with 
exactly the same score, 10 demerits. C. R. Werner, of Tacoma, was 
second with 15 demerits, W. Cornell third with 16 demerits, and Dr. 
McFarland fourth with 19 demerits. This event brought out the longest 
entry list of the entire program, and shows how popular bait casting 
has become with the local anglers. 
After luncheon the casters gave their attention to light tackle dry 
fly accuracy, one of the most attractive events on the entire program. 
In this event J. C. Myers came through with flying colors, making a 
score of only 8 demerits, giving him a percentage of 997-15. W. F. 
Backus was second with 11 demerits, and John Drennan third with 
12 demerits. In this event the 30-inch rings ranged from 20 to 50 
feet from the platform. 
The closing event on the program, distance fly light tackle, was 
very hotly contested, as a great many anglers had set their hearts on 
winning this particular event. The event was cast under rather 
unfavorable conditions, as the afternoon was extremely hot and with 
not a bit of wind stirring. In view of this fact, the scores, while not 
high, must be considered very good. W. Cornell won the event with 
a cast of 99 feet, while Backus and Myers tied for second with 98 
feet. Dick Carlon was fourth with 95 feet. In casting off the tie for 
second Backus made 101 feet. 
A special prize had been donated by the Anglers’ Club for the 
best all-around score. This prize was won by W. Cornell with 31 
points, and the race for this prize was not determined until the very 
last event. ° 
At the conclusion of the program a dinner was held at the Imperial 
Hotel, where prizes were awarded. During the evening the Pacific 
Northwest Association of Angling Clubs was formed, with the idea 
of encouraging tournament casting in all parts of the Northwest. 
In all probability the Northwest tournament will be held at 
Seattle next year, and it is hoped to have a great many new clubs 
represented at that time.
