FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Aug. 22, 1908. 
Anglers’ Club of New York, won the trophy for 
distance bait-casting, half-ounce. He scored an 
average of 181 4-5 feet in five casts. This was 
his first attempt to cast on the lawn before a 
large audience, and he did not equal his practice 
average. Because of a misunderstanding of 
signals the captain gave him six casts, the last 
one being the longest cast made^2io feet. The 
error was at once corrected, and the long cast 
was not scored. M. H. Cooley scored 179 2-5 
for first prize, and Ray Lum won second with 
172 3-5 and also made the longest cast that was 
recorded, 198 feet. There were thirty-three en¬ 
tries. 
Perry Frazer and John Waddell tied for the 
silver loving cup in the salmon fly-casting event, 
with 114 feet. The former and Dr. Held fin 
ished on Saturday at dark, and left for New 
York. Those who could not finish cast on Sun¬ 
day morning. Uncle John was one of them, and 
the tie could not be cast off. It will be disposed 
of later. Dr. Held tied for sixth place and 
this is also undecided. Fred Peet cast 108 feet, 
but while this was scored, a protest was entered, 
as there was no fly on the leader when the 
judges scored the cast. During- this last event 
a thunderstorm was coming on, the heat was ter¬ 
rific, and the measuring line was stretched across 
the lagoon and up the slope on the grass. Beyond 
the 105-foot mark, shooting only could be done. 
The rain drove all hands out of the park, and a 
deluge ended the greatest tournament of this 
sort ever held in America. 
The third annual tournament will be held in 
July or August, 1909, under the auspices of the 
Anglers’ Club of New York.

The Tuna of Gascony. 
A writer in La Peche Moderne wonders why 
it is that English anglers do not pay more atten¬ 
tion to the tunny, or tuna, which is a fine sport¬ 
ing fish, and abounds along the coast from Vigo 
to Cape Breton. The red tunny, which is fre¬ 
quently caught within a couple of miles of land, 
ranges from twenty pounds to 150 pounds in 
weight. The rods and lines are similar to those 
used for tarpon, the bait being an enormous 
artificial fly, made of one or two ears of maize 
bleached in chloride of lime and tied on a special 
hook manufactured in Spain. A six-ton yacht 
and a crew of three men are desirable, although 
it is not a difficult matter to obtain leave to 
accompany the local fishermen on their expedi¬ 
tions.
