By Jack Tingey. minds have decreed that we find our pleasure in our SAGE way and do not care to have others force them upon us. It is almost impossible to justify a particular hobby to some one else. This is not entirely meant as an apology. But I do keenly appreciate the fact that the uppermost aim here is to give to kindred sympathetic minds a bit of. the refreshing pleasure through experience in dry fly fishing. To become more expert in any one sport than any one else should not be the objective point. But to enjoy nature and her gifts as thoroughly as any one else is within the attainment of all. Trout fishing requires keenness? It kindles the flame of excitement con- . sequent on a desire to succeed,' and it's the pastime of every age of man. The thought of angling is full of beautiful asociations and it is stimulating to every fiber, moral and physical, of the man on the stream. KVraiKS fOB BM.MS BELMONT STAKE.
