scores, while in 1910 nineteen members finished. 
There has been a healthy growth of interest in 
casting in this city, and combined with the fact 
that numerous casting clubs are forming through¬ 
out the country, tends to show that if continued 
will make it one of the very popular outdoor 
summer sports. E. M. Town, Sec’y. 
The scores of those who, in the second round, 
-did not improve on their first trial, are not 
given. 
Two consolation tournaments were arranged 
for; the first to be held on Oct. 8, with dry-fly 
accuracy, wet-fly accuracy, and distance, open 
only to those who failed to win places in the 
season’s competitions, for a trophy presented 
by President Maitland. And on the 15th for 
members who had failed to win any trophy since 
the club was formed, the prize, a split cane fly- 
rod. On Oct. 26 the annual dinner was held, 
when the season’s prizes and certificates were 
distributed. 
The rod used by Mr. Gorrick is iiRj feet long 
and weighs about \i l / 2 ounces, while Dr. Mait¬ 
land’s rod is just under 11 feet, with a weight of 
about 11 ounces. They were made in 1908, are 
both H. L. Leonard rods, and were mentioned 
in these columns at the time of their shipment 
from New York. In length, weight, fitment and 
power they are in every respect typical Ameri¬ 
can tournament rods. Coupled with this fact 
is the other one, that the Australians are fol¬ 
lowing closely the methods of American casting 
clubs, hence American rodmakers and anglers 
are justified in feeling proud of the excellent 
results the Australian anglers have attained. 
Anglers’ Club of Milwaukee. 
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct, 20 .—Editor Forest and 
Stream: The third annual Wisconsin State bait- 
and fly-casting tournament was held at Wash¬ 
ington Park, on Sept. 17, under the auspices of 
the Anglers’ Club of Milwaukee. Weather con¬ 
ditions were most unfavorable and rain fell 
steadily throughout the day; these conditions 
made the attendance rather small. 
Following is a list of the events: Accuracy 
bait, quarter-ounce; accuracy bait, half-ounce; 
distance bait, quarter-ounce; distance bait, half¬ 
ounce. The first event was called at 10:30, and 
notwithstanding the unfavorable weather con¬ 
ditions some excellent scores were made. This 
event was won by M. A. Beck, of the Anglers’ 
Club of Milwaukee, with a score of 98 11-15 per 
cent., closely followed by J. R. Dishington, of 
the Racine Fly-Casting Club. Following are

ule of accuracy and distance events; this year 
seven members finished the entire schedule.
