F. McLaury of Downes Grove, Illinois, yes- terday. While the catch is not the largest ever taken in these waters, nor the heaviest, nevertheless it was a trophy of which any experienced angler may well feel proud, as it weighed 53 pounds and meas- ured seven feet four inches. Mrs. McLaury, is the wife of H. E. McLaury, advertis- ing manager for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail- road, enjoying a vacation at the Hotel Casa Marina. They were out fishing as guests of Mr. and Mi Paul Warren and Paul Warren, Jr., of Riverside, Ill., also vacation- ing at the Casa Marina. Never having caught sailfish before, Mrs. Mc- Laury is, as she might well be, enthusiastic over having taken one of the prizes which other and more exper- ienced anglers have tried for, but never captured.
