FOREST AND STREAM 
in fact, they say that salmon were never so 
plentiful. 
A report from Biscay Bay, Trepassey, says 
that the waters there are teeming with salmon 
and sea trout, and no anglers have as yet visited 
there. 
The new Trepassey Branch Railway has opened 
up a magnificent fishing country, the lakes along 
the line are numerous and some of them in the 
vicinity of Cape Race have never been yet dis¬ 
turbed by the visit of an angler. At Chance 
Cove, Biscay Bay and North River, Trepassey, 
the sea trout fishing is among the very best in 
the island, while in the North River the salmon 
are larger than usual and very abundant. 
This neighborhood promises to 'be very popular 
in the near future. 
For the benefit of the stay-at-homes I clip the 
following items from last evening’s papers. They 
are enough to make one’s teeth water, as the 
saying is. and compel one to mutter at the hard 
fate that binds him to the dusty town, while the 
favored ones are reveling in the sport for kings. 
Talking about kings reminds me that yesterday 
H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught, uncle of the 
present King of England, a brother of the late 
King Edward, caught his first trout in Newfound¬ 
land waters. He landed on the west coast and 
then went down the Straits of Belle Isle, where 
he will try several famous salmon rivers. He is 
expected in St. John’s on the night of the 14th, 
and great preparations are being made for his 
reception. All the public buildings will be illumi¬ 
nated with thousands of colored electric bulbs 
and mottoes, and it is expected that the display 
will excel everything in brilliancy that has been 
seen here since the visit of the Prince of Wales, 
now King George. 
Here are the items referred to: 
City Commissioner McNamara, and Miss D. 
Galway and T. Harris, who spent a week at Pin- 
sent’s Falls, Salmonier, salmon fishing, returned 
to the city yesterday. They report splendid fish¬ 
ing in Salmonier waters, and during their trip 
landed eighty-two fish, several being of very large 
size. In an experience covering several years 
they never saw salmon more plentiful nor condi¬ 
tions better. 
Ladj- Davidson, wife of Sir Walter, governor 
of the island, who visited Salmonier last week for 
a couple of days’ fishing, met with unique suc¬ 
cess. For the angler the conditions were ideal 
and fish were exceptionally plentiful. Saturday 
last, at Pinsent’s Falls, accompanied by Guide 
Hurley, Lady Davidson made a record, landing 
ten salmon in two hours. 
Messrs. W. S. Monroe, Morey, Foote and War¬ 
ren, who are now at South Branch, are doing well 
with salmon and landed seven fine fish among 
them yesterday. 
Miss Jameson, Mr. and Mrs. Eric Bowring and 
Messrs. Tbos. and Herbert Winter, arrived here 
by the shore train last night. The party had 
splendid salmon fishing at Pinsent’s Falls the past 
three days and landed sixty-five fish. 
The fishing will hold good all this month and 
August, so that belated anglers need not despair, 
as there will be fishing and fish for all who come 
along. -

Conditions were fine for accuracy bait casting 
and some excellent scores resulted. Special men¬ 
tion is made of Mr. Reyberg’s scores, as this 
was the first one he had ever cast. 
Conditions were unfavorable for distance fly 
casting and the scores suffered in consequence. 
Let’s have a rousing turnout at the next con¬ 
test, August 8. The events are one-half oz. Accy. 
Bait, L. T. Accy. Fly, Hobble Distance Fly and 
one-half oz. Distance Bait; also, if time permits, 
the postponed Delicacy Fly will be cast. 
This is the last contest before the National 
Amateurs’ Tournament, August 22, 23 and 24, and 
most, if not all of you, want to get in trim for 
that occasion. 
The National tournament will provide a hand¬ 
some trophy for the best scores cast by any con¬ 
testant who has never before competed in any 
National tournament, which affords opportunity 
to our newer members. There is to 'be a trophy 
in each of the Accuracy Bait and Accuracy Fly 
and Dry Fly events in this class. 
A g-oodly number of the ladies graced the occa¬ 
sion at the last club contest. The excessively 
warm weather precluded some of them from cast¬ 
ing as the club’s guests.

Chicago, August 3, 1914. 
There was a cloudy sky, a variable northwest 
wind with a velocity of twenty miles, at our con¬ 
test on August 1st. On the following day the 
sky was clear, the wind southwest, changing sud¬ 
denly to northwest, with a velocity of twenty to 
twenty-five miles. 
Call. McCarthy eclipsed his former club record 
of 113 feet in the distance fly with one of 119 
feet, making the latter score in casting the regu¬ 
lar event, and again in his re-entry. 
E. R. Kerr, in the quarter oz. accuracy bait 
event, equaled the club record of Wm. Stanley,

MINNESOTA GAME COMMISSION DIVIDES 
STATE. 
Minnesota is now divided into five game pro¬ 
tection districts, each district in charge of a 
member of the state game and fish commission. 
The object of the new plan is to bring the com¬ 
missioners into more intimate touch with the 
actual work of their body and to exercise more 
careful supervision of the activities of the game 
wardens. 
ASSIGNMENT OF COUNTIES. 
The counties assigned to each commissioner 
under this arrangement are as follows:
