on lake Erie. The two nimrods
motored to Norwich Tuesday even-
ing and . spent the night with Mr.
and Mrs. Norman. Hern, the -cornier
having arranged the' outing. A
teady rain, much needed in that
ocality, fell during the night, but
t partly cleared and an early start
as made next morning for Pt,
owan, which is considered one of

d _at the lake a drizzly rain was
allieg and an east wind was blow -

old us it was not much use going I
ut as we were not likely to get our
mit, eight ten inches or over being
llowed each person. However the
ain cleared and we started off for
he grounds, a distance of about
fight miles. At the first spot we
nchored there seemed to be plenty
f fish but most of them were under
zee and had to be thrown back.
uring -the day about as many fish
ere thrown back as were kept.
he bass were gamy and put up a
ood scrap and many failed to be
nded. Mr. Beer caught, the larg-
st fish during the day but Bill
ays it wasn't nearly as large as
ne that got away on him. There
ere two hooks on a line and eleven
mes during the day two fish were
aught at a time... The party had
heir limit about four in the after-
oon and started for home. A
rizzling rain had started again in
he afternoon and the party were a
orry looking bunch, but what was

and children, eighteen gathered un-
der the parental roof, Rev. J. A.
