SPORT PROMISES 10 BE EXCELLENT Their Pointers for Those Now Unfamiliar With Local Conditions. WATCHING THE WATER —— ee For the past week every angler in the District of Columbia has been atremble with pleasant expectation. Rods have been carefully examined and repaired where necessary, lines have been tested and limbered, reels have been rubbed and oiled, and fishing paraphernalia generally has been given as jealous attention as a bride’s mamma devotes to her darling’s trousseau. The reason for all this activity is not far to seek. The fishing season opens for sportsmen tomorrow, and from early morn- ing until April 15, 1898, the waters of the Potomac and its tributaries will be free to any man who with rod, hook and line, wishes to lure the wily bass into a battle royal. The law which expires tomorrow was adopted by the states of Maryland, Vir- ginia and West Virginia, and went into effect May 19, this year, although it pro- vided that no game fishes, such as bass and pike, should be caught in the Potomac above Little Falls from April 15 to June 1. This law; however, was regarded as being in force during the whole period, by all the reputable anglers who fish in the Po- tomac, and was observed by them religious- ly, only two or three instances being noted of its being ignored. Bass Supply Increased. The result of this closing of the season will doubtless be increased catches in the coming menths, and additional sport for votaries of the rod and reel. The bass have been at peace during the spawning sea- son, and have been allowed to bring forth their young in quietude, and thus the sup- ply in the river has been, without question, enormously increased. Another source of increase in the supply, which cannot be es- timated conservatively, was the transfer to the river of about 20,000 small mouth bass, which would have perished in the ice and mud in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal had they not been seined out. This work was followed with great interest by an- glers, both in Washington and all over the country. Liberal subscriptions were made through The Evening Star to the fund with which the expense of the seining was met, and United States Fish Commissioner John J. Brice, in pursuance of the policy which has led to the rejuvenation of the fish commis- sion and made it one of the most valuable adjuncts of the government, placed a num- ber of expert seinemen with necessary seines at the disposal of the gentlemen in charge of the work. So successful was the Project that Commissioner Brice an- nounced, at its conclusion, that the seining of the canal would be made a regular feature of the winter work of the commis- sion in the future. It 1s well to remark, in passing, that the interest inspired by the seining also led to the iormation of the powerful and influ- ential District of Columbia Game and Fish Protective Association, which is destined to be an invaluable factor in securing just measures for the preservation. of fish and game not only in this vicinity, but through- out the country. ~ Z It will be seen, therefore, from the above that the expectation of.a better hing season than usual is well founded, the anglers are not to be wondered at for mak- ing unusual preparations for it. Good Fishing Grounds. During the next few weeks bass fishing will be found more remunerative in the waters from Harper’s Ferry down to Great Falls, because the spawning in the lower waters is completed sooner. There are many points along the stream between these famous places which are unfailing in their supply of sport. Weverton is a famous fishing rendezvous. The waters around Brunswick are favored by big bass, and at the mouth of the Monocacy, which is easily reached from Dickersons station, and at Turcarora, a few miles above, few anglers fail to secure satisfactory results. Lower down, at Edward's Ferry; far- famed Seneca, George Pennyfield’s, and at the Great Falls, there will be doubtless many big catches made, for each place has the preference in the eyes of fisher- men, and all will be early sought by those partial to them. As in former seasons, live bait will be used by the majority of fishermen, al- though some of the more scientific anglers will use the fly alone. There are days, however, when a bass will not rise to a fly, so those who desire certain sport would better take a bucket of live bait along to use in case their fly books prove useless. Pike smelt and bull minnows are the best live bait for the Potomac bass, but in re- cent years. young carp have been found at- tractive to the wary fish, who recognizes in the bait of this sort his natural enemy and pounces on it accordingly. A Word to the Wise. It is well for fishermen who ere not yet familiar with the conditions surrounding fishing in the Potomac to understand the meaning of the announcement made daily in the weather report published on the third page of the Evening Star. Allusion is made to the paragraph headed ‘‘Condi- tion of the Water.” In last Wednesday's Star, for instance, the matter under this head read as follows: “Temperature and condition of water at 8 a.m.; Great Falls, temperature, 64; condi- tion, 1. Receiving reservoir, temperature, 70; condition at north connection, 1; cendi- tion at south connection, 3. Distributing reservoir, temperature, 68; condition at in- fluent gate house, 15; effluent gate house, ‘When the report reads in that way there is absolutely no use for any one to put a hook in the Potomac anywhere, from its source to Washington, and expect to catch a bass. The temperature of the water at G4 degrees is sufficiently warm, but the condition indicated by the figure 1 means that the Potomac water is as near liquid mud as it well can be. ‘The condition, it should be known, is in- dicated by the figures from 1 to 36. At 36 the river is perfectly clear. The best water for bass fishing is when the condition is stated to be 80 or 82, but good sport may be assured when the condition is stated to be 26 or above. Below this the water is too turgid for the bass to bite with any as- surance. Everything in Order. The clubs up river are all in readiness for the visits of their members and thbse fortunate enough to be their guests. The boats of the Woodmont Club, the Blue Ridge Rod and Gun Club, the Anglers’ Association, the Sycamore Island Club, the Great Falls Fishing Club and the other organizations have all been overhauled and fefitted, and the club houses have been renovated, where necessary, and in several instances enlarged and improved. Owing to its easy access from Washing- ton the Blue Ridge Club will be probably the most active in operation, and many well-known residents will be entertained there during the summer. The members, of course, will be energetic with the fly and minnow, and as the club house ig sit- uated at that point on the Potomac where bass are largest and most numerous great catches will undoubtedly be udded to those already on the records. Seme Well-Known Fishermen. Dr. Walter 8. Harban, who is one of the most expert anglers in the country, as well as an active arid zealous agent in every movement looking to the protection of fish and game, will try his luck if the wa- ter gets right this week. He will have lots of company, as the other Blue Ridge men are all ready to whip the riffles. Joe Hunter, the most ardent angler any- where, will go fishing tomorrow.

Still, some men—a go2d many of them—persist in keeping every bass they catch—no matter how small it may be, simply for the purpose of display. It should be remembered that:a little fish, if thrown back when caught, will grow to a big one, and if left to its natural resources will help to increase and multiply its spe- cles, Nothing has helped to diminish the bass supply in the Potomac more than the ruthless killing of the small fish in the Past, and it is to be. hoped every angler will bear the above injunction in mind.

When Policeman Muller. arrested George Webb and William Webb on a charge of being near a crap game, he knew that the crap fine was $20, but George was per- mitted to go on $5 collateral. William was short of cash, and so he appeared in the Procession. “I arrested this defendant because I saw him looking at a crap game,” the police- man told the court. “He was not partici- Fating in the game, but I saw him in the crowd of spectators.” “How long was he there?’” “About fifteen minutes, I imagine.’ “Judge, your honor,” said the prisoner, “I didn’t have anything to do with the game. I only stopped there to see what was going on.” William now knows that it is an expen- sive affair to be a spectator at such a game, for a fine of $10 was imposed. Personal Grievance.

Then came the music, the queen and other officers, and the little girls, dressed in white, with wreaths upon their ‘heads. The band was located in with -the girls, as were also all of the acolytes of the church. Instead of holding the services in the building, as heretofore, the concluding ceremonies were on the large north lawn of the church, the children forming a quac- rangle, while the speuker made her ad- dress to the statue of the Blessed Virgin erected on the lawn. The crown was placed on the head of the statue, and after singing by the children, music by the*band and a cornet solo, the ceremonies closed. The children then passed into the church, the gates opened and benediction of the blessed sacrament concluded the services of the day. No vesper services were held at the church in the evening. The Christian Endeavor Society of the West Street Presbyterian Church held a successful entertainment Friday evening at the Linthicum Hall. The attendance was very good, and an excellent program ren- dered, as follows: Overture, selected, Cos- mos Mandolin Quartet; comic song, se- lected, Master Clinton Ballinger, accom- panied by Master Edwin Ballinger; read- ing, selected, Mr. Guy V.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. FALLS CHURCH, Va., May 20, 1897. The semi-annual session of the Christian Endeavor societies of northern Virginia Was held here today. Nearly every local society in this section of the state was represented, over 200 delegates and visitors being present. In the absence of the presi- dent, Miss Mary A. Penn of Alexandria, the vice president was in charge, with Miss Grace L. Douglass of Arlington, sec- retary. At the opening of the morning session a praise service was held, conducted by Miss Maud Rathbun of Falls Church, which wak followed by devotional exercises led by Rey. B. W. Shreve of Sterling. Rev. F. T. Benson of Alexandria then spoke on the portion of the Endeavor’s pledge, .“‘Trust- ing in the Lord Jesus Christ ‘for Strength.” He was followed by Rev. J. W. Kincheloe of Falls Church, on another portion of <he pledge, “I Promise.” After sirging the hymn “Coronation” the convention proceeded to the regular busi- ness of the session. The enrollment of delegates showed that among the new s0- cleties organized and admitted were the Balston M. P. Church, Dranesville, and Brown’s Chapel. ; Mrs. S. E. Bailey of Arlington, superin- tendent of the junior societies, made an interesting report ef the work ‘of her de- partment. The report of the treasurer was also submitted and approved. ‘The delegates from the different societies re- sponded to roll call with reports of the condition and work of their respective e0- cleties.
