MUSCALLONGE ON THE FRENCH BROAD.

tackle, when you are fishing for big game fish. 
And so, though this kind of experience costs 
dear, it is always worth while if its lesson is 
accepted—and lived up to. 
If I can get to that pool again, when the water 
is low and clear enough, I shall try to relieve 
the fish of the uncomfortable mouthpiece he 
may have been carrying around with him all 
this time. 
As to the muscallonge in the French Broad 
river, that is a fish I used to take with minnows 
in the same stream years ago. The French 
Broad is one of the branches of the Tennessee, 
the Tennessee flows into the Ohio, and the Ohio 
into the Mississippi. The very largest fish I 
have heard of in this little river of ours this 
high up, ran into the 30 pounds. 
And I am told there is in or about the Pot¬ 
hole, a fish “as big through as a telegraph pole,” 
and “at least 5 feet long.” He has been seen 
there, so the report goes, for the past ten years. 
I am anxious to get hold of him, and I am going 
to try to. 
GUIDES’ ASSOCIATION ANNUAL 
TOURNAMENT. 
The Nova Scotia Guides’ Association will hold 
its annual tournament and competitions at Lake¬ 
side Park, Yarmouth, on August 10 and 11. 
There will be, as usual, canoe races, rifle shooting, 
trap shooting, fly casting, log furling, and many 
other competitions. A new feature this year will 
be the “Running Deer” target. The principal 
ammunition companies will send expert shots to 
give exhibitions during the two days. An in¬ 
vitation has been extended to the New Bruns¬ 
wick Guides’ Association to send duly qualified 
guides from that Province to take part in the 
sports. 
The richest prize list ever offered will be for 
competition this year. A special feature will be 
a trap shooting event between J. S. Boa, of the 
Dominion Cartridge Co., J. Walker Andrews, 
professionals, against N. W. Boylston of Prince¬ 
ton, Mass., and H. A. P. Smith, president of the 
Guides’ Association, Digby. Tents, wood and 
water will be provided free for the use of the 
guides. The proceeds from this meet will be 
donated to the Patriotic Fund. This tournament 
will undoubtedly be the biggest sporting event 
ever held in the Maritime provinces. Pro¬ 
gram giving list of events and prizes for 
same will be provided upon request by Roy S. 
Kelley, Secretary Guides’ Association, Yarmouth, 
N. S.
