FOREST AND STREAM 
OCEAN CITY FISHING CLUB. 
Figures shut will go down in history as world’s 
records wete- made at the Annual Casting 
Tournament of the Ocean City Fishing Club on 
the official course at Ocean City, N. J., on Satur¬ 
day, August 8, 1914. 
Dr. Carleton Simon of New York City, a mem¬ 
ber of the Club, established a world's record for 
a four ounce lead in a thirty foot lane, hurling the 
missile 318 ft. 1 in., then added further honors 
by creating a record of 306 ft. 6 4-5, 1-10 in. 
as an average for five casts in a V-shaped court, 
which was 90 feet wide at 300 feet distance. 
Fully two thousand persons witnessed the con¬ 
testants in the seven events open to prize com¬ 
petition, and rivalry among club members and 
their friends was so keen that the entries cover¬ 
ing the entire program numbered more than 200. 
Forty-eight prizes were offered the winners in 
the various events, Dr. Simon carrying away a 
handsome split bamboo surf rod as his trophy in 
Event No. 6, which was offered for the longest 
of five casts in a V-shaped court. The Doc or’s 
cast measured 341 ft. 8 in.

silver cup for the longest of five casts in an 
open field. Charles T. Maginnis captured this
