Rockville Rod and Gun Club. 



ROCKVILLE. Md., July 17.— The Rockville Rod and Gun Club 

 was organized here Jan. 37 last. The officers for the ensuing year 

 are Ja=. P. B. Veirs, Presideni; Hon. Geo. Peter. Vice-Presidenl; 

 .Tolin W. Kotchner, Secret-iry; D.avid H. Warfl"ld, Treasurer; 

 Wm. H. Robbe.tt, On plain, and Harrv O. Hurley, Lieutenant. Our 

 club is quite a large one considerine; the size of our town, it hav- 

 ing about forty members on its roll boon, and our grounds are 

 such that any club could justly he proud of, being close up to 

 town and being well titted by nature for the purpose, having 

 plenty of shade aud spring water. Here in old Montgomery, the 

 banner county of western Maryland, within sixteen miles of the 

 National Capital, where the hand of man has male so much im- 

 provement and game has become so scarce in the last few years, 

 our members have at last realized the fact that either the flagrant 

 violation of the game laws throughout the countj', and especially 

 along the Potomac, must be stopped, or in only a very short time 

 our sport at wing-shooting will become a mockery. Our sport 

 here at fishing is most exclusively for the small-mouth black 

 bass. 



The points alone the Potomac where angling is mostly indulged 

 in are Pennyfields, Point of Rocks. Hancock and Weaverton, 

 though Pennyfields. about twenty- five miles above Washington, 

 is the mostly frequented point. Here at this place is where, dur- 

 ing the past AdfuiDistration, ex-President Cleveland made some 

 good catches. We hope to have a good many sportmen with us 

 on Aug. 2.5 and 28 nest, when our club will give a two-days' shoot- 

 ing tournament, V.
