as. well as profit: in a great . m any .way^-. 
. I have a little incident- to relate that differs from any- 
thmg that ^ have rfoticed in your columns. , , 
1 The. fishing in J:his , neighborhood is not very good, 
tne^'gti'eams bc;ing 'all sinall, an'd there are no lakes at all. 
Hovyeyer, as ,in most places, there are a few that will 
angle if they have to use the proverbial "mother's pail." 
Such an one is Santford Haxtoti, a veteran of the Civil 
War and a veteran angler as well. A short time ago he 
invited me to accompany him to Grand River. We got 
an early start, and were soon enjoying ourselves along 
the river banks. As the water was very muddy We had 
no success fishing in the stream, so as a last resort tried 
a bayou that looked invitingly full of fish. The water 
was shallow at the edge, and We could not reach the deep 
Wdler from the bank, .^o Santford retrioved liia shoes and 
Wkded olit. It was not bng- until, he Was "slinging" 
ejtttifeh olii; oil. to tht baiik aS fast ils he colild Irianipliiatfe 
'he "pbl.c." On (interihg the Watci" he,hacl i-oiled iip hii? 
l-b,u§et-s' ,lfeg. blit ih the exciteinfent that followed they 
lad .i-olled,do\vn to their regulation position. Soon after 
le shouted . excitedly to me that he "had a catfish up his 
pants' leg." . He grasped the trousers at the ankle to 
i etain the fish and hobbled out on the bank and d.epositcd 
the fish in the pail., This was i-epeated during the aftei"- 
iib.bH iihtil he hrld .added hint fish to his c;olint, tWo 
being taken at One halil. 
We think this schefne well Worthy of the attention 
of readers of Forest and Stream, and hope that tHet 
will all profit hereby; 
, Have yOu been fortunate enough Lo have experienced 
this Sy stein of ti-apt)ing fish? tf sq. we would like to 
hejii- fi-oiil yoti. Wal*. W. SlOcuj^. 
]^elawafe j^ivef Fishing:, 
''You .should have postponed your trip three weeks," 
said a friend of mine a few days ago in telling me what 
Hit ahglers had been doing along the Delaware last week. 
It stt;iiis thit at .last .clear skies have taken the place of 
the sodden clouds of. Jtily and early August, the river 
has been clear, and the bass have grown huHgry again. 
And when this occurs they will take ahnost aiiy sort of 
bait, especially grasshoppers. Otherwise they are sorrie- 
ivhat particular in their feeding hours, and prefer 1am- 
bf-eys aiid small bullheads, the latter three to four inches 
Ih length. 
There may be better lures at other times and places on 
this stream, but during our party's recent three weeks' 
trip down the Delaware, No. 2 Skinner spinners arid 
either live minnows or grasshoppers of goodly size seemed 
thfe.best lures although live frogs were at times taken 
it» the rifts, and. crickets sometimes on the few bright days 
we enjoyed. The advice of the natives was misleading in 
nearly every instance, and we caught liice bass in pools 
said to be good for eels and catfish only. I leartled as late 
as Aug. 22 that the river was quite low again and clear.

Fish Flout in Norway. 
Unber date of July 25. 1902, Consul V. E. Nelson 
writes from Bergen : "A great deal is done in Norway 
to improve and preserve the provisions produced in the 
country and to procure a market for them abroad. The 
fisheries represent one of Norway's chief industries, and 
quantities of fish are sold at very low rates, particularly 
during summer. One way in which these are utilized is 
by means of an invention which quickly dries and pul- 
verizes the flesh of fresh fish. The resulting product 
called fish flour, is easy to transport from one place to 
another and has great nutritive value. A new and profit- 
able branch of industry might be established in America 
by utilizing fish in this way." 
Bass at BelgfradelLakes* 
Belgrade Lakes, Mc, Aug. 24.— Bass fishing is at its 
'zenith at Belgrade Lakes, and the big beauties, for which 
these waters are famed, are brought in every day and duly 
displayed on enormous platters on the office desk. Every- 
body fishes here, man, woman and child, and strange to 
say, the women are not a whit behind hand in landing 
big fish. Most skillful and fortunate among the ladies 
this year has been Mrs. Liska Burger, of New York, 
vyhose four-pounders have again and again ornam^ented 
tlie stand— for great is the sport-sman's spirit at this 
l»lace, that one and two pounders are simply thrown back 
again into the waters.

It took fifty minutes to land him. Our catch beside con-

For Cruising Yachtsmen. 
With the purpose of stimulating the interest in cruis- 
ing, and the keeping of a detailed log by cruising yachts- 
men during the season of 1902, the publishers of Forest 
and Stream offer prizes for the best stories of cruises 
submitted to be published in Forest and Stream. It is 
believed that these will form not only entertaining records 
of pleasant summer days spent afloat along our coasts and 
waterways, but will furnish information of practical value 
to other yachtsmen making subsequent cruises on the 
same waters. 
Prizes will be awarded to the three best stories as fol- 
lows : 
First prize, $50.00. 
.Second prize, $30.00. 
Third prize, $20,00. 
Contributions are invited under the following condi- 
tions : 
1. The cruise must be made in waters of the United 
States or Canada in the season of 1902. 
2. The cruise must be made in a sailing yacht, power 
to be used only as an auxiliary, if at all. 
3. The story must be prefaced by a description of the 
boat. Cruises should be treated in as interesting and 
readable a way as possible, but should be practical and 
contain all possible information and data that would be of 
value to men going over the same route. A description 
of the handling of the ship in all weathers will be re- 
garded very favorably in making awards, and it is sug- 
gested to writers that an accurate account be kept of all 
incidents happening while under way. 
4. An outline chart suitable for reproduction, showing 
the course taken, must accompany each article. When 
possible, articles should be accompanied by amateur photo- 
graphs taken on the cruise, including one of the boat, 
(aood photographs will be considered in making the 
awards. 
5. The story should contain about seven thousand 
words, written on one side of the paper only, and must, 
be received at the office of the Forest and Stream Pub- 
lishing Company, 346 Broadwa::, New York city, on or 
before Nov. 15, 1902. 
Mr, T. C. Zerega has very kindly consented to act as 
judge and to make the awards. 
All compunicaUons intended for Forest and Stkeam should 
always be addressed to the Forest and Stream Publishing Co., Ne^ 
York, and pot ta jiJiy in4ivi4ual connected with tbe paper.
