Inter-State Tournament. 
The third annual interstate tournament was 
held at Weequahic Park, Newark, N. J., Sept. 
10, under the auspices of the Newark Bait- and 
Fly-Casting Club. The contests were keenly en¬ 
joyed by a large and appreciative audience. 
Everyone was pleased to see the return to the 
game of such famous “old-timers” as Reuben 
Leonard and Hiram Hawes, now eligible to com¬ 
pete under the revised rules adopted at Chicago 
this year. The new National Association rule, 
together with classified casting, will work for 
increased interest in club and tournament mat¬ 
ters and will prove beyond a doubt to be a big 
“boost” to this popular sport. 
Much interest was manifested in the contest 
for the “All-around” trophy which was com¬ 
peted for under the new scale of points men¬ 
tioned in another column. 
The features of the meeting were the fine 
work of Reuben Leonard and L. S. Darling in 
the five-ounce distance fly event and the mag¬ 
nificent casting of Mr. Leonard in the half- 
ounce distance bait event, in which he broke the 
IIAI.F-OUNCE DISTANCE BAIT.

WEEQUAHIC LAKE, WHERE THE INTERSTATE TOURNAMENT WAS HELD. PRESIDENT CHAMPION CASTING WITH A FLY-ROD. 
Note the line in the air. The engraving is from a silver print that was not re¬ 
touched, nor was the negative altered in ary way. The exposure was 1/330 of a 
second. The line was about B size; color, green. 
record for both average and longest single cast. 
The old champion was warmly congratulated. 
Pie tied Darling for first place in the five-ounce 
distance fly event with 98 feet, and on the cast¬ 
off they tied again with 102 feet. As time did 
not permit finishing, the tie was put over until 
the next meet. 
The weather was clear and fine. The wind, 
a moderate breeze, was just right for the distance 
bait-casting, but soon changed to a fluky, baffling 
cross-wind which seriously interfered with the 
distance fly events and necessitated frequent 
changes of the measuring line. There was con¬ 
siderable time lost in starting the events, and 
this, together with numerous delays, made neces¬ 
sary by the frequent changes of the measuring 
line and target, compelled the management to 
postpone the miss and out bait, accuracy fly and 
accuracy dry fly events until Oct. 1. As it was, 
the accuracy bait event was finished in semi¬ 
darkness, which materially affected the. scores. 
At the next meeting on Oct. 1, in addition to 
the postponed events, salmon fly-casting and 
surf-casting with alZ-ounce weights will be 
features. Summaries:
