were songs by the Laurel Quartet and lantern 
slides from negatives made on fishing journeys 
by Henry Robrecht. 
The casting season on Lake Weequahic will 
soon be open, and members are already practic¬ 
ing, while a large number will be on the streams 
next Friday, when the trout season opens in 
New Jersey, and the weather conditions having 
been favorable during the latter part of the 
month, fair sport is predicted. 
Big Fish at Catalina. 
Los Angeles, Cal., March 15. —Editor Forest 
and Stream: The winter angling tournament at 
Catalina took a new lease of life when a school 
of white sea bass, yellowtail and other game fish 
invaded Avalon Bay a few days ago and began 
to round up the sardines. Although the run was 
spasmodic, some large specimens met their 
Waterloo while it lasted. 
Commodore C. G. Conn used the Three-Six 
tackle in all his fishing and landed nine yellow- 
tail upon it up to yesterday, possibly more since. 
Of these fish the largest was the biggest yellow- 
tail that has yet been taken in the waters of 
Catalina Island upon a six-thread line and scaled 
nearly forty-one pounds. 
The biggest albacore this season and the sec¬ 
ond largest on record was taken by W. N. Mc¬ 
Millan, of Nairobi, British East Africa, who en¬ 
tertained our ex-President at the outset of his 
big-game hunt. This fish weighed fifty pounds 
and was taken on light tackle. Mr. McMillan 
is so impressed with the fishing at Catalina that 
he has offered a prize valued at $50 to the woman' 
angler taking the largest albacore in this win¬ 
ter’s tournament. The same afternoon he got 
another of forty-seven and a half pounds. 
The third largest albacore, thirty-three and a 
half pounds, was taken by Mrs. W. H. Cham¬ 
berlain, of Detroit. This leads for the McMil¬ 
lan prize. 
Yellowtail—F. E. Church, New York, 22>}4 
pounds; C. M. Keep, Portland, Ore., 24 
pounds; E. T. Wilson, Plainfield, N. J., 22 
pounds; C. G. Conn, 40^2 pounds; J. V. Goin, 
Morristown, N. J., 24^4 pounds; T. G. Minturn, 
New York, 23 pounds. Mrs. W. H. Chamber- 
lain also landed a large white s£a bass of 4334 
pounds, third of record on light tackle.

John Waugh. 
St. John’s, N. F., March 12 .—Editor Forest 
and Stream: A famous sportsman and sports¬ 
man’s guide, belonging to Terra Nova, and 
doubtless well known to many of the readers 
of your popular magazine of sport, has passed 
away to the great unknown happy hunting 
grounds beyond earthly forests and streams in 
the person of Jack Waugh, of the Topsail road, 
in the suburbs of this city. 
Although not a subscriber to, I may say that 
I am a constant reader of your popular maga¬ 
zine at the Masonic Club in this city, and I am 
taking the liberty of forwarding you some con¬ 
tributions of mine containing references to old 
Jack Waugh, my trouting mentor, guide and 
friend of the past quarter of a century.
