As this date was the last re-entry day, the formal 
program for the season is closed, but there are many 
friendly meets around the platforms still to come dur¬ 
ing the Autumn days. Some of the fellows will de¬ 
velop distance bait efficiency, others something else 
among the events. The degree bars will be awarded 
at the November Dinner. Every member who has 
paid his dues should have received his membership 
card. If any one has failed to receive his, kindly 
notify the secretary. 
There will be something new in casting competition 
at the Inter Club Teams Contest, arranged between 
the Garfield Park Amateur Casting Club and our club, 
for October 11. The events are to be V\ oz. and J 4 oz 
Accuracy Bait. It will be a sort of man to man con¬ 
test, in teams of five, for each side. The more teams 
the merrier. There are as many points as there are 
contestants and teams, and no one can make or lose 
more than one point. It will be jolly fun. Let every 
member come and bring such tackle as he has. 
E. M. ELLIS, Secretary. 
THE SONG OF THE REEL. 
(Dedicated to Deer Lodge, Manitowish, Wis.) 
By S. B. Chittenden, Jr. 
With rod in hand 
While our guide pulls the oars 
And we leave the land 
And we start out to fish 
For Musky’s bright 
Then we know in our heart 
We’re in for a fight. 
So we lower the spoon 
And let er glide 
O’er the ripping surface 
Where Musky’s hide 
And our line as it goes 
From off the reel 
Sings a song that is sweet 
As wedding peal 
’Tis a song that we loved 
While but a child, 
’Tis a song of the wind 
The woods, the wild. 
For the song of the reel 
Is a wondrous thing, 
And its lure is so strong 
Makes the whole world ring. 
But a sudden sharp pull 
Against the line 
Has shattered our dream, 
For it’s a sign 
That a Musky has hit, 
You hear the swish 
And your guide calls aloud 
“Say, he’s some fish.” 
Then the reel stops its song 
As you thumb the line, 
And you know he is hooked 
And you’re feeling fine. 
But the Musky knows, too, 
It’s do or die, 
And with quick sudden jerks 
He makes the line fly. 
Then the reel once again 
Takes up its song, 
And you pull in the line 
And wonder how long 
It will be ’fore that fish 
Is tired to death. 
And you haul him aboard 
While holding your breath. 
Now he darts for the boat 
In one last rush, 
And your guide takes a shot, 
Then a sudden hush 
Overtakes the whole place 
As you look around, 
For you see that the Musky 
Weighs thirty pound. 
Oh, the Song of the Reel 
Is a wondrous thing, 
For it clears out your brain, 
Makes the whole world sing.

In justice to those having the meals and auto¬ 
mobiles in charge, it is absolutely necessary that 
we know not later than Wednesday, October 14, 
how many guests to provide for. Will you, 
therefore, kindly let me know before that date 
if we shall have the pleasure of entertaining you. 
If desired, I will be glad to reserve a room for 
you at the Hotel Statler, if you will arrive Fri¬ 
day night.

ment Committee, and she will be glad to learn 
through me, or by letter direot from you, the
