Charles A. Atkins, Dr. Herbert and Lawyer John F. 
HaAvkins, of Asbury Park, are a trio of surf fishers who 
are hard to beat, rnid who took home over roo pounds 
of channel bass early in July. Mr. Streeter. of Orange, 
has made several big catches. Last week Mr. Earl and 
Mr. Recknegal, two New Yorkers, who were stopping 
at Waretown, iried their J-uck in the inlet for two days, 
getting a .30-pouiid drum each day. 
Weakfish arc caught by the barrel. One day this week 
.W. T. Synnot, C. J. Yost .and Internal Revenue Collector 
Isaac Moffett. of Camden, caught 394 weakfish in four 
hours and a half. Some of these fish weighed 5 pounds 
apiece. Sheepshead, bluefish and striped bass are also 
sought by the anglers with varying degrees of success, 
though many striped bass have been landed. The biggest 
striped bass caught so far weighed 22 pounds, and was a 
beauty. Mr. Francis, of Berwyn, Pa., caught thirty one 
day last week, and Mr. Chandlee landed 115 in two days. 
One day before that Chandlee caught thirty-three and a 
drum.

The Late William Brailsford. 
The following, taken from the London Field, will be of 
special interest to field trial patrons, most of whom met 
the subject of this article in his visits to this country 
•some years ago. He had for his assistant then the late 
Angus Cameron, and while they found much that was 
stra:nge in American ideas and ways of handling, they 
offered some which appeared no less strange to the 
Americans. They, by their sportsmanlike conduct and 
fairness, won the esteem of all. The London Field says: 
No doubt news of the death of William Brailsford; 
which took place at Ightfield, Salop, a few days ago, will 
come as a surprise to many, although he had reached the 
age of seventy-eight years. He was one of the old 
school of head keepers, having been initialed into the 
duties at Kjiowsley, where his father looked after .the 
dogs and the gamefovvl for more than two generations of 
the Earls of Derby. William Brailsford's first important 
engagement was with the late Gen. Anson, who bad 
an extensive grouse moor in Perthshire more than half a 
century ago. It was at that time customary for those 
who took care of the dogs to walk with them into Scotland 
some time before the 12th, and the journey from Stafford- 
shire into the heart of Scotland was on more than one 
occasion performed by who was at that young time Brails- 
ford. Later he was with Lord Lichfield, Lord Derby 
and the Duke of Westminster, and from the latter he 
went to the late Mr. Heywood-Lonsdale about twenty 
years or more ago, after wdiose death he remained witli 
Capt. Lonsdale, in whose service he died. 
William Brailsford was even up to the last a fine speci- 
tnen of an English countryman, handsome, even aristo- 
cratic, in his bearing, tall, strong, and powerful. Well 
read, above his station in life, he was usually treated by 
his masters as much as a companion as a servant. An 
excellent judge of dogs, especially of pointers, of which 
he was a great admirer, he took the initiative in the 
establishment of field' trials (as his father, Mr. Richard 
Brailsford, had been the means of instigating the first dog 
show), which have been such a success, and at the late 
meeting of the International Club news of his death was 
received with sorrow. The good working dogs and also 
5how_ dogs he has had under his care need scarcely be 
mentioned here, but the excellence of the contents of the 
Ightfield kennels was entirely due to Brailsford. The 
liver and white setters, such as Woodhill Bruce. Woodhill 
Beta and others, he was especiallv fond of, and when 
working either these or others in public he was at his best. 
No rushing about and excitement, but careful plodding 
and steadiness were his aim. We saw Brailsford at the 
Natioiial Shrewsbury meeting in the spring, but he had 
lost his active step, and was palpably aging, signs tha? 
were even more apparent when he came up with Capt. 
Lonsdale's annual draft, of' pointers and setters to 
Aldridge's a few weeks aigo. It may be mentioned that 
When past three score years atid ten Tie crossed the At- 
lantic in charge of some of the late Mr. Hevwood-Lons- 
dale s dogs, which competed successfully in the Canadian 
aftd other field trials. He was given a pleasant time, and 
hie recite! of some of his adventures and the character of 
some of the "handlers" of dogs out there was most fn-
