Attention is called to the number of fine scores 
made in the accuracy bait event and the large 
number of entries, considering the vacation 
period and-absentees from the city. 
A. D. W hitby, Sec’y. 
Mr. Wentworth gave a very interesting talk 
and read an article showing that California sal¬ 
mon were planted in Wisconsin thirty years ago. 
He said that owing to the planting of these 
Pacific salmon in Lake Sunapee we to-day have 
better fishing than for many years past. Several 
large specimens of these fish have been taken 
during the past month ranging from twelve to 
seventeen pounds, and when it is considered that 
they were first planted in the lake in 1905, it will 
be seen that they grow very fast. The officers 
desire to raise $1,000 to carry on the work of 
the next year. 
The question of having flags placed on all fish¬ 
ing buoys was discussed. It is found that many 
fishermen put, out a small buoy which cannot 
readily be seen and makes trouble for motor 
boats. 
The election of officers resulted as follows: 
President, Rev. Ozora S. Davis, Chicago, Ill.; 
Vice-President, Allen Hollis, Concord, N. H.; 
Secretary, George H. Graham. Springfield, Mass.; 
Treasurer, Wm. E. Gilbert, Springfield, Mass.; 
Executive Committee, the above, and Frank F. 
Hodges, New York; Ralph S. Davis, Waverly, 
Mass.; Charles R. Kearns, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
George H. Graham. 
Pike and Mascalonge. 
Passaic, N. J., Aug. n .—Editor Forest and 
Stream: More years ago than I like to mention 
for olivious reasons I had royal sport, with the 
mascalonge of Indian River, in Jefferson county, 
New York. My first trip down that stream from 
Theresa was one of three days with Dr. James 
Davison, brother of your correspondent, J. L. 
Davison, of Lockport. and we bagged fifteen 
mascalonge. There were no pike in the river 
then. The great Northern pike is called pickerel 
in the St. Lawrence and Indian rivers. Some 
scoundrel out of spite to another of the same 
stripe probably put about 200 of these coarse- 
meated cannibals into the Indian River and they 
have almost cleaned out the noble mascalonge. 
Only occasionally is one caught now, and -it is 
always a large and old one of about fifty pounds’ 
weight. 
The black bass, formerly abundant, are going 
the same way as the ’lunge, but the pickerel are 
on the job. Last week fourteen-year-old George 
Bullard, of Theresa, captured one that weighed 
fifteen pounds and nine ounces in Red Lake, a 
river tributary. He was casting among the 
weeds with a light steel rod, a frog on a bull¬ 
head hook when the big pike seized the bait. 
Fie had no gaff and of course could not lift the 
fish into his boat. But his oarsman was an ex¬ 
perienced fisherman and they tired the monster 
out in two hours and ten minutes and dragged 
him ashore on the beach. 
My correspondent, while camping qn Red Lake 
this summer, saw two of these “pickerel” the 
other day that weighed 11V2 and 12 Vi pounds 
that were thought to be a cross between a pike 
and a mascalonge. The lower jaw, tail and fins 
were mascalonge looking, but otherwise they re¬ 
sembled the pike. I think the Chautauqua mas¬ 
calonge of the Ohio River basin has been intro¬ 
duced into the Indian River. It has bands in¬ 
stead of the small roundish, dark spots of the 
St. Lawrence species. H. H. Thompson.

Some of the 
members cast 
re-entries when 
their 
scores are 
full, therefore 
are not 
entitled 
to a 
re-entry. In such 
cases the scores 
are not 
published. 
I am inclosin 
g a list 
of scores cast 
to date 
and 
averages so that members 
may see 
where 
they 
are short. 
The executive committee has de- 
cided 
that all who can 
compete 
without 
casting 
more 
than two 
scores in one event on one day 
may 
do so. Ol 
course 
you can cast two half- 
ounce and two 
quarter-ounce bait scores 
on re- 
entry 
day.
