Interstate Casting Tournament. 
The fourth interstate casting tournament was 
given by the Newark Bait- and Fly-Casting Club 
on Sept. 30. It was held on Weequahic Lake, 
Newark, N. J. Considering the conditions, the 
results attained were remarkably good. Follow¬ 
ing the storm of Friday the skies cleared, the 
wind rose, and when the first event was called 
at 9 o’clock a gale was blowing across the lake 
from the northwest. Casting was then impos¬ 
sible on the lake, so the first event was held on 
the lawn inside the park race track, but so strong 
were the wind squalls that even fair scores were 
few. 
Toward midday the wind steadied slightly and 
two fly events were cast, but low scores resulted. 
At sunset the wind moderated, but so much time 
had been lost early in the day that three events 
were left over, and were cast the following morn¬ 
ing on the Orange Rod Club’s water in Orange. 
The club's system of classifying casters accord¬ 
ing to their skill has proved satisfactory, and the 
interest of the regulars in the all-round cham¬ 
pionships for the season is keen. The prize 
cups given in the different events were very 
handsome, and the merchandise prizes accept¬ 
able. The park is a pleasant place to spend a 
day, and except in a northwest wind, such as 
prevailed on Saturday, the conditions for cast¬ 
ing are good. There is a clear sky background 
and open water on all sides, while the casting 
equipment is first class.

The day was an ideal one and the North Shore

upon us in goodly numbers, with their pennant 
flying, and which, by the way, is a striking one of 
scarlet, showing the club monogram and inscrip¬ 
tion “Challenge.” Same is mounted with a gold 
spearhead and steel spike, and is really a thing 
of beauty. 
The following North Shore ladies graced the 
event by their presence: Mrs. Hinterleitner, Mrs.

Casting Club Affiliation. 
The Angler, the new Sydney magazine, says 
the New South Wales Anglers’ Casting Club has 
received a suggestion from the National Asso¬ 
ciation of Casting Clubs of America and the 
Amateur Fly- and Bait-Casting Club, England, 
to come into line with them "with a view to 
putting this sport on an International basis, and 
it was unanimously decided at a committee meet¬ 
ing held by the club recently to get into com¬ 
munication with them at once. This is a sport 
that has come to stay, and the suggested affilia¬ 
tion will greatly strengthen the hands of the New 
South Wales Anglers’ Casting Club, which is 
called in English, American and Continental 
journals “The Casting Club of Australia,” whose 
records are published with full reports of the 
competitions all over the world.
