Editor Forest and Stream : 
The week’s end was marked by the continua¬ 
tion of the beautiful sunny weather; the day be¬ 
ing one of the most pleasant of the few during 
the season, the boys were not slow in taking ad¬ 
vantage of the fast lessening opportunities to be 
out of doors. 
With but few exceptions, only those members

Anglers Club of New 
York 
On Sept. 25 and 26 the Anglers Club of New 
York held their 9th annual fall bait and fly 
casting tournament. As the tournament was 
open to all a large number of visitors were on 
hand to take part in the sport. An unsteady 
wind made fly casting a difficult proposition al¬ 
though many good casts were made. The boys 
were all glad to have the veteran casters Hiram 
Hawes and Lou Darling with us and to see 
them in action. Mr. Hawes took first place in 
the 4 oz., 5 oz. and Heavy Rod fly casting thus 
winning the beautiful sterling silver cup pre¬ 
sented by Mr. Mackey of the Anglers Club for 
the best average in these events. 
Credit is due Fred Palmer (13 years of age) 
for the splendid work he did in the % distance 
bait and V2 accuracy bait. Fred cast like an 
old hand at the game and made an average of 
138 feet in the 150 ft. class, and in the accuracy 
event, with twelve entries, he was tied for third 
place. A. J. Marsh did excellent work with the 
% oz. distance bait making a new eastern rec¬ 
ord of 216 4-5.
