recommend that the California State Fish Commission 
attempt its introduction into other waters during the 
present season. It has already been decided by the Divi- 
sion of Fishculture of the Bureau of Fisheries to estab- 
lish a statiori in the Mt. Whitney region in the early part 
of the coming year for its artificial propagation. Many 
difficulties present themselves for their introduction into 
other waters, as they would have to be transported on 
pack mules down the eastern slope of the Sierras through 
v. semi-desert region to Lone Pine, which would take 
from one to two days. Every endeavor, however, will be 
made toward_the cultivation of this beautiful fish, as its 
introduction into other waters will be of keen interest to 
the professional angler and to the public at large.

English Fly-Casting Tournament. 
From the London Fishing Gazstte, July 30. 
In ' lovely weather the tenth international fly and 
bait-casting tournament was held last Friday and Satur- 
day on the Intermediate Lake and on the old Archery 
Ground at_ the Crystal Palace. We hope to give with 
the following report some photographs of the affair 
which will interest those who were present, as well as 
those who were not. Although the attendance was not 
at any time very large it was pretty evident that those

who came were keenly interested. It was hoped that 
three American anglers would be present, but one of 
the Messrs. , Hewitt was unfortunately not well enough 
to attend. Mr. E. J. Mills, son of Mr. Wm. Mills, of 
New York, made a very favorable impression by the 
modest'but plucky manner in which he cast in no less 
than seven competitions. Mr. Mills is visiting Europe 
on account of his health; we heard from a friend of his 
that most of the time he was suffering greatly from 
facial neuralgia. He won several prizes.
