Monday we received several reports of purse-netters oper- | ating in Herring Bay, with six boats. | One hour after receiving the remrti we were on our way to Herring Bay. We obtained the services of Capt. Al- bert Ward, who has a good fast boat. When we got out in the bay we saw two purse net boats anchored close to shore. We approached one boat and saw its number, 10-808, and asked the captain where he was from and he said the Eastern Shore. We advised him to beat a hasty retreat or he would get into trouble. About 20 minutes | later we saw his boat start across the | bay, dragging its net. The other boat | was so close to shore we were unable | to get anywhere near it | These men said they are not purse netters, but their nets are operated like purse nets and do not give the fish a chance. We have reported these | boats to the Maryland Conservation Department and E. Lee Le Compu,‘ Maryland State game warden, is go- |ing to dispatch a patrol boat from Galesville to handle the situation. Now that the blues and sea trout are making their way up the bay these men again are resorting to illegal methods. Another report reached us this | morning of two purse net boats operat- ing on Southwest Middies yesterday. These boats are said to have landed over 4 tons of blues. This case was also reported to the Maryland authori- ties. B | QIVE Hyattsville and Berwyn : anglers, Ernest Gasch, C. G. Reno. F. A.

JOHN KIDD, who operates his boat from Capt.

It is great sport for those who like still fishing | |in a quiet place.” he said. This fish- ing ground is located about iive miles above Benedict. The perch are being caught with peclers and bloodworms. Bass anglers will have to wait until the waters of the Potomac and Shen- andoah Rivers clear. From Harpers Ferry we receive word that both these streams are muddy. Further up the Valley the Shenandoah also is re- ported muddy.

RUSTICTOWNFOR A DAY RULING HARNESS WORLD Little Goshen Teems With Life and Color While Hambletonian Grips All-—Race Named for Daddy of 1,331 Horses. BY JOHN LARDNER. OSHEN N. Y., August 14—A little off the State highway is a green, open hollow, dot- ted with trees and houses. The Ramapo Mountains rise to the north and east On most days of the Summer and Winter this tiny valley is deserted. The only thing you notice as you pass by is an old wooden grandstand nestling alone on the level floor of the basin, with a three-cor- nered running track just beyond it. It’s a nice piece of rustic scenery, but it doesn't stir your pulse—unless you happen to pass along that road on the day of days. Then the valley is alive with people and the hills ring with the sound of their voices. Bookmakers. touts, city sports, farm- ers, millionaires, horse traders and tourists have taken possession of the place. hollow off the highway is the hub of a world—the world of harness racing. And today is the day of days. Goshen For one afternoon the little | is conducting her annual corn-tassel| festival, her three-ring bazaar, the running of the Hamble- ‘The fastest wagon-pullers in barnyard | the country are here to fight it out | for supremacy on that three-cornered track. Never mind the Kentucky Derby. 1In Goshen you'll take the Hambletonian and like it. Grandpap of Harness Horses. 'OU probably know that the Ham- bletonian got its name from the granddaddy of all haruess horses. What an animal he was, old Hamble- tonian! History tells you that his owner, Rysdik, bought him for $125 in the year of the gold rush, 1849. Hambletonian was a gold rush all by himself. He still was making money during the Civil War. In 1865 he cleaned up $38.400 and in 1866 his take was $37.500. And he was the lineal father of some 19,000 trotters and pacers. Every good horse on the harness turf today is a descendant of Hambletonian—or | nearly every one. He gave his owner 25 years of service on the track and | | in the stud. In his time he produced 1,331 foals more than $200.000. Well, that was Hambletonian. His memory is so important to the men of the harness world that they have given his name to their biggest and for fees amounting to| | b richest race. Every year they hold a congress of David Harums and argue about problems that mean more to | them than a war or a presidential | election—night trotting, auction sys- tems, training for yearlings, the trend of prices. And they do it in the name of Hambletonian. Around the track you see “Doc” Parshall, the grizzled sulky-steerer, who won the race last year with Lord Jim; Bill Caton, who was imperial driver for the Czar of all the Russias until the revolution caught up with Bili and the Czar; Sep Palin, a former foot ball player, who will buy and fly his own airplane, if he wins this year, and his boss, E. J. Baker, nephew of the late John “Betcha-a-Million” G . Long Odds on Favorite. AKER owns the favorite for the | 1935 Hambletonian, a big, trim- waisted, healthy portion of horse | called Greyhound.

It's the festival spirit that counts, and the sight of those thor- oughbreds churning the dirt. The people of Goshen are somnnolent most of the year—but when they cut loose with their hayseed jamboree they do full justic to a sport that probably is better loved by its followers than any in the world.
