cess in every way. The weather was fine, with 
a light north wind of thirteen miles an hour. 
There was a large gathering of not only 
the members of our club, but of the other clubs 
of the city. 
From every one came words of approbation 
of the innovation and expressions of the wish 
that such a contest be among the events of the 
meeting of all the clubs. 
It was discovered that there was much to 
learn of the “art of angling with the chunk.” 
Many of the contestants, whose scores were 
low, owing to a deficiency in accuracy, made per¬ 
fect scores in style or retrieve. 
The proper cutting and weighting of the 
chunk, attachment of the line, that the chunk 
might ride the water correctly, as well as the 
handling of the rod to prevent sinking of the 
bait, all received close attention, and there is no 
doubt of such contests advancing efficiency in 
angling with the chunk. 
The scores for accuracy, style and the per¬ 
centages of the combined scores follow:

Chicago Fly-Casting Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Aug. 27. — Editor Forest and 
Stream: I am inclosing herewith copy of the 
scores cast in our events of Aug. 23 and 24. 
Special attention is called to the score cast 
by F. N. Peet in the salmon fly, held on the 24th. 
The previous long distance cast for this event 
was 144 feet, held by L. E. DeGarmo, of the 
Illinois Casting Club, of this city. Mr. Peet's 
score is, as you will notice, 145 feet 1 inch. 
Our vice-president’s score was official and 
he is, therefore, present title holder of this eveiat. 
Mr. DeGarmo only recently attained the 
title and now a new record comes. It would not 
be at all surprising if even this record was 
broken at the N. A. S. A. C. tournament on 
Sept. 6 in this city. 
The following official scores were cast in 
the quarter-ounce accuracy bait and dry-fly accu- 
racy events, Aug. 23.

National Ass’n of Scientific Angling Clubs 
Chicago, Ill., Aug. 22. — Editor Forest and 
Stream: 1 he annual tournament and meeting 
of the National Association of Scientific Angling 
Clubs, and the details connected therewith, have 
been arranged for with such completeness that 
there can be no doubt as to the enjoyability of 
the meet to everyone attending. 
I he casting will be held in an ideal location 
under most pleasant conditions. 
The annual meeting is going to be one of 
the most important ever held by the association. 
It is going to be a “get together” meeting where 
the spirit of give and take ’ will be a most 
prominent feature, with the looked for result of 
a satisfactory settlement of past differences. 
There is one thing upon which the complete 
success of the meet depends, and that is a good 
attendance. This is beyond the power of the 
tournament committee and rests solely with the 
affiliated clubs. It is as much a duty as it will 
be a pleasure. We must have representation 
from every affiliated club that the action of the 
annual meeting may be the work of the entire 
association.

Your last issue of Forest and Stream was 
a treat. Oh, for another! R. Robinson, Didv- 
mus, Ransacker, etc. I have odd back numbers 
of the year 1887-90 that contain the Red Gods 
controversy—not for sale at any price. Long 
live Forest.and Stream. Chas. F. Brockel. 
Forest and Stream is a habit in many 
homes. It provides much good cheer.
