Fishing at Catalina Island. 
' Avalon, Cal., Aug. 7 . —Editor Forest and 
btream: Fishing around the Hast End has been 
Hoor, all catches worthy of note coming from 
ship Rock, Bird Island, Empire, Goat Harbor 
>r Italian Gardens, all famous ground for big 
-ellowtail, most of which lurk around the sunken 
eefs, lying in wait under the submarine forest 
>f kelp ready to dart out, pounce upon a bait 
nd scurry back forthwith, to the discomfiture 
if the average angler. 
Fishing at Clemente has been much inferior 
|o last summer’s phenomenal sport. Go’d but- 
on fish are not coming in with the same regu- 
arity, although many anglers have gone there. 
|Col. Daniel M. Burns, his partner C. P. Water- 
itouse, C. G. Conn and others found 40-pounders 
■are, although the Burns party caught a num¬ 
ber,of big jewfish on light tackle, some of which 
weighed close to 300 pounds, it is said. The 
;ecord is 240. So plentiful were these that often 
t dozen could be seen on the bottom, swimming 
around the boat and grabbing any flying fish 
hat was let down. 
One of the most enjoyable social events of 
he season in Avalon’s little angling world was 
he birthday dinner of Commodore Thomas 
McD. Potter, given Sunday night, Aug. 1, at 
the Metropole. A dozen guests sat down and 
several sent regrets owing to inability to be on 
hand. Among those bidden were: A. W. 
Hooper, L. G. Murphy, Ben. Williams, Charles 
V. Barton, Gilmour Sharp, Wm. M. Hunt, Jr., 
Edwin L. Hedderly, Henry Loewenthal, C. P. 
Waterhouse, Col. Daniel M. Burns, Thomas S. 
Manning, C. G. Conn, Lafayette P. Streeter, 
Alfred L. Beebe, Thos. McD. Potter, Frank H. 
Lowe and Prof. Charles F. Holder. Consomme, 
sandabs en papillote, doves on toast, sweet corn 
and a number of other good things made up the 
fare. One of the party killed the limit of doves 
two days previously and brought them over. By 
a coincidence the birth dates of Barton, Potter 
and Professor Holder fall upon the third, fourth 
and fifth of August. Edwin L. Hedderly.

Marblehead Race Week. 
The week of racing of the clubs at Marble¬ 
head began with a special regatta of the Eastern 
Y. C. on Monday, Aug. 9. The chief interest 
in this regatla was in the contest for the Sonder 
class, and fifteen started. The wind was very 
light and soon flattened out, and it was a 
drifting match to the first mark. Then the 
wind freshened, and it was a spirited beat to 
the second mark. Skeezix showed up well on 
this leg and worked out from fourth place to 
first, passing Spokane III., Lady and Bandit. 
It was a close reach home, and Skeezix im¬ 
proved her position and finished im. ns. ahead 
of Ellen. The elapsed times were: 
Skeezix, 2.00.55; Ellen, 2.02.15; Bandit. 2.0221; 
Manchester III., 2.02.41; Lady, 2.02.43; Sally X..
