Saving Game Fish. 
The water is being drawn from Kensico Lake, 
one of the reservoirs of New York city’s water 
supply system, and last week a number of men 
removed the game fish from Kensico to Rye 
Lake. The work was done under the orders of 
the Conservation Commission, which placed 
County Protector George E. Sutton in charge. 
He had the assistance of the members of the 
Mount Kisco Gun Club, the White Plains Fish¬ 
ing Club and numerous sportsmen. A long seine 
was used and when the hau's were made the 
fish were placed in tanks and cans and hurried 
to Rye Lake, where they were turned out. Many 
thousands of bass, pickerel and perch were trans¬ 
ferred to Rye during the week, and the coarse 
fish were put in other waters. 
When the draining of the lake is completed, 
work will be started on the great dam which 
will increase enormously the size of this reser¬ 
voir. 
Illinois Casting Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Sept. 15. — Editor Forest and 
Stream: We are in receipt of the following 
letter from Secretary Dorchester, of the North 
Shore Casting Club, under date of Aug. 29: 
“To still further increase the friendliness and 
good fellowship existing between the Illinois 
Casting Club and the North Shore Casting Club, 
we hereby challenge the Illinois Casting Club to 
a series of four casting events, the winners to 
be holders of a banner which the North Shore 
Club tenders. The conditions of the contest 
to be as follows: Two events are to be held on 
the grounds of the Illinois Casting Club, Sept. 
23, 1911, to consist of accuracy fly and half¬ 
ounce accuracy bait. Two events on the grounds 
of the North Shore Casting Club, Sept. 30, 1911, 
to consist of light tackle dry fly, accuracy fly and 
quarter-ounce bait. The banner to be awarded 
to the club for one year making the highest 
grand average of all scores in all events. The 
N. A. S. A. C. tournament rules to govern the 
contest. 
“It has been suggested that an informal sup¬ 
per be held at the Lincoln Park Refectory at the 
conclusion of the contest, to cost no more than 
one dollar for each guest.” 
This friendly challenge has been accepted, and 
Mr. Dorchester advised under date of Sept, n 
as follows, by Vice-President G. H. Asper: 
“We are pleased to accept the challenge with 
a view of still further increasing the friendliness 
and good fellowship now existing between our 
respective clubs. We have taken the liberty of 
appointing a committee to confer with you with 
a view of arranging all details, and L. E. De 
Garmo, W. H. Ball and J. E. Amman have been 
appointed as this committee and who doubtless 
will get in touch with you at the earliest pos¬ 
sible date to complete arrangements.” 
1 he committee appointed very courteously ac¬ 
cepted the duties imposed and all arrangements 
have been made for the contests as indicated in 
the following letter from the committee under 
date of Sept. 14: 
“Your committee of arrangements each per¬ 
sonally request that every member who plays the 
events come to the Illinois grounds and enter 
the events he plays, as the purpose of these chal¬ 
lenge contests is principally to get acquainted, 
widen the spirit of friendliness between the clubs 
and their membership and to have a good time 
all around, let the pennant go where it will. We 
also recommend that each member of the Illinois 
be a reception committee to see that all get ac¬ 
quainted, and further recommend that Illinois 
Club members see that the North Shore boys 
have platform space to practice.” 
It is the earnest wish of the executive com¬ 
mittee that members be present at both the con¬ 
tests and enter all of the events at both. 
Note the contest at the Illinois Casting Club 
grounds is on Saturday, Sept. 23, and the return 
engagement at the North Shore Casting Club 
grounds on Saturday, Sept. 30, the game to begin 
promptly at 2 o’clock. 
As a measure of information to those not 
familiar with reaching the North Shore Casting 
“uncle” GEORGE SAVAGE. 
He is the holder of the record Asbury Park striped bass, 
a 47-pounder, taken several years ago.

veniently reached by taking any car marked
