DELICACY FLY. 
Postponed to some later date 'because of cross 
winds. 
SALMON FLY. 
The new Salmon Rod failed to arrive, hence 
this event was postponed. 
It is expected the new rod will be here in time 
for the next event. 
The scores of the members, new at the games, 
are very gratifying and encouraging. The L. T. 
Accuracy Fly score of Horace McLane is quite 
remarkable, as he had never before cast a score 
for record. His re-entry score of 9911-15 per 
cent, is the club record to date. 
It was very gratifying to have some of the 
ladies cast scores, as the club’s guests, and also 
to note how many ladies were present to witness 
the contests. 
All come out and bring the ladies to the next 
contest July 25. % Oz. Accuracy Bait, L. T. Dry 
Fly Accuracy, L. T. Distance Fly, Salmon Fly. 
Note the hours, and all come early.

provided for a large number of places in each 
event. Many who fail to win first place will be 
richly rewarded for their efforts.

not members of any of the affiliated dubs, and 
they will be welcome to participate for the rich 
awards to be given in each event. 
The contests will be governed by the rules and 
tournament regulations of the N. A. S. A. C. 
Reports from many of the clubs indicate a 
large attendance and that their members are al¬ 
ready getting in practice for record-breaking per¬ 
formances. 
Committees of reception and entertainment 
have been appointed to care for the comfort of 
visiting casters. 
Hotel Sherman will be official headquarters of 
the association during the tournament. 
None but amateur casters may enter. 
Professionals are defined as follows: One who 
is or ever has been a market fisherman; one who 
is or ever has been a teacher of casting for pay; 
one wh'o is acting as a paid guide; one who

for any purpose of advertising; one who adver¬ 
tises or solicits for the sale of any casting device, 
or any article of fishing tackle, on the grounds of 
any casting club. 
The return to broad and liberal ideas as mani¬ 
fested by the policy which now governs the Na¬ 
tional Association of Scientific Angling Clubs, 
will have the approval of all the affiliated clubs, 
and will make for continued and increasing pros¬ 
perity.

PENNSYLVANIA FISHING. 
Hazleton, Pa,, July 4—Fishing parties from 
the Hazleton region are having the best kind of 
luck in their trips after the finny spoil. 
Rev. and Mrs. E. R. Heckman, of Bloomsburg, 
brought home 58 fish, including 36 bass, from a 
trip to Juniata county. 
Judge Evans, of Berwick, with his sons Clark 
and Morris and Associate Judge Schrann, of Dan¬ 
ville, caught 150 sunnies, catfish, perch and pike 
at Promised Land Lake in the Poconoes. They 
were stalled at Clifton by the terrific storm 
which spread ruin through this part of the state. 
Arthur Ammerman, Dr. J. W. Mathers, Albert 
Ammerman and Melvin Hons, all of Berwick, 
hooked in 140 pounds of pike and bass at Prom¬ 
ised Land Lake. The resort is crowded now, one 
hundred boats being the daily average on its 
three mile expanse of fishing surface. 
While fishing for bass in Hancock’s Dam near 
Palm, Frank Hartman jumped into the Perkio- 
men Creek after a bass which had snapped off 
part of his line. He took it out of shallow water 
with his hands, the prize weighing five pounds. 
The state fish commissioner, N. R. Buffer, of 
Harrisburg, has notified the power company at 
McCall’s Ferry on the Susquehanna River to ex¬ 
tend the fishway from 300 to 400 feet and to 
change the grade in that part already constructed. 
The power company has agreed to make the 
alterations at once. 
Councilman Ruth, of Reading, superintendent 
of parks of that city, has been informed by the 
Commissioner of Fisheries at Harrisburg that he 
should notify the department when he is ready 
to draw off the Antietam Reservoir to proceed 
with the improvements approved by the State 
Waterways Commission. Men will be sent here 
by the Fisheries Commission to catch all fish 
that get through the sluiceway and return them 
to the dam. The state always guards the fish 
when any disturbance of levels in bodies of 
waters is anticipated. Seventeen feet of water 
will be allowed to remain in the dam while the 
improvements are in progress. 
Sportsmen of Luzerne county will have a game 
preserve of their own as a feeder for their game 
in the future. Laning Harvey, of Wilkes-Barre, 
state game commissioner, has returned from the 
state capital at Harrisburg with the news that 
the commission has bought over 2,000 acres of 
land in the vicinity of Bear Creek. The preserve 
extends back to the Wilkes-Barre & Eastern cut¬ 
off and is fuff of wild spots where bear and 
deer are known to have their resting places.

HOW TO MAKE A LOG CANOE. 
(Continued from page 113.) 
was gauged with an awl having a file mark on it. 
This was driven in here and there from the ouu 
side, until the mark came flush with the sur¬ 
face. If the point showed through the inside, it 
indicated the proper thickness. It was an easy 
matter to plug these holes so that they would not 
leak. The inside as well as the outside was 
dressed with a jack plane. Three dry sticks, cut 
a little longer than the width of the boat, were 
inserted at intervals to spring out the sides of 
the canoe. When in place, a 20-penny nail was 
driven through the gunwale and into the end of 
each stick on both sides. These sticks prevented 
the wood from warping inward as the timber 
seasoned. A paddle was made from a dead pine, 
6 inches in diameter.
