AN APPRECIATION OF JOHN ENRIGHT. 
Continued from page 822. 
could do until the Yankees showed how it could 
be done, and led the way in doing it. Thus, for 
many years Major Traherne, a well-known 
“rod” on the Shannon, and most popular man | 
at Killaloe, which was the last fishing we be¬ 
lieve he rented in Ireland, was considered j 
facile princeps, as a fly-caster with the big rod. 
In his “How and Where to Fish in Ireland,” ' 
“Hi-Regan” says, “past masters like my friend, 
Major Traherne or Pat Hearns. Forty-five I 
yard casts are wonderful things, and seldom !n 
made in real practice,” and no doubt the gallant 
Major threw a fine fly in his day, and well de¬ 
served his clebritv. But every fishing center, j; 
for that matter, had its local giants, who were ji: 
often shrewdly suspected by the talent on the 
spot to have now and then pretty well out-dis- I 
tanced possibility itself. 
There were also among trout fishers some 
noted men. Air. Marryatt, of Winchester, for I 
instance, brother of that popular novelist, whose 
prolific pen. has delighted, and will delight j 
(one hopes) generations of schoolboys, could 
drop a trout fly on a half-crown at twenty yards 
on a smooth lawn, once or twice out of half a 
dozen casts, and that with either hand, and in 
some extraordinary styles; and, of course, for j, 
that matter, then, as ever, the old proverb was 
fully justified by numberless instances, and in 
various ways, that there were brave men before ji 
Agamemnon. 
At last, in August, 1890, a casting tourna¬ 
ment was held in the grounds of Orleans House, 
near London, chiefly through the energetic 
initiative of Mr. Marston, of the “Fishing 
Gazette,” we believe, and so began the sys¬ 
tematizing of records of angling prowess, and 
the tacit challenging of all local talent to come 
to the front and prove itself. Some of the 
figures at this contest are worth attention, in j 
the light of subsequent efforts. Neglecting 
fractions, and that sort of thing, the amateur 
champion at this contest, Mr. Hodder Bass, a 
Cork angler he was, we find, got out 36 yards of 
line with salmon fly at the end of it; a Scotch 
professional doing 42 yards, which was the 
longest cast with fly made at the meeting. Such 
was the best the select anglers at the time could 
do with the implements in their hands, and 
these implements were, without doubt, the very 
best the rod-making skill of the time could 
supply them with. And, now, but a short year 
or two ago, comes along Mr. John Enright, and 
under strictly identical conditions as to wind
