The number of men from the city who have come to try their luck with the wily sports of the Delaware is much larger than usual. The season opened with ideal weather conditions and catches have been numerous and notable both for the number of fish taken and the unaual size of these gamy fellows that have their natural home in the Delaware. The most remarkable catch made in years was that of one of the old fishermen ot Vater Gap. He came ashore with four basa, whose total weight was twenty-two pounds. Two of the fish weighed seven pounds each, one weighed five pounds and one three pounds.

The big ones were placed on exhibition and were viewed by almost everyone who had any fishing enthusiasm and by scores of summer guests. Many of the old record-holders would not believe the first news of the catch, but later they set themselves at the work of making a still more sensational record. The fishermen who have returned from the1 nearby lakes brought with them well filled baskets. The bass fishing seems to be unusually good in all the favorite bass waters. Auto parties arrive daily from all the large cities.

These parlies are composed of the best people from all the prominent society circles. Many make their headquarters here while they make daily runs up the valleys and ver Mount pocono. The weekly hops are as popular as ever. The Kittatlnny has given a series of them, which nave won iavor with tne guests. The new road will be in operation next week and this will run past the links of the fitroudsourg Club; bo that Water Gap golfers will find this a wonderful convenience.

The Blue Mountain League hall games will be easy of access as soon as the road begins to carry passengers. The Water Grip House has been remodeled and enlarged at great expense. Among the features of the house are beautiful solarlums facing flower gardens, suites of rooms that at? large and fitted with every convenience known to the resort builder, mahogany furniture for all the main furnishing, and a most skilfully planned exchange of classical architecture.

Summit, N. June 22 Like all other places, Summit this season has been -a sufferer from the cold weather, and very few of the residents have gone away for their summer outing, and people who have been in the habit of getting out of the city early in the season to enjoy the unfolding of nature have been slow in making their appearance. But the warm weather of the past few days has had a tendency to brine the regular city people -eut snd'at the same time home people are begi3M)to to scurry either mountain-ward or towarti the sea. Life at the Beechwood is rapidly taking on that aspect for which it is noted, indered somewhat heretofore this seasoa the cold weather.

Some Early Kiamesha, June 22 So important as to eclipse every other event of the vicinity Is the fact that Paul R. Shares, for a number of years proprietor of Kiamesha Inn, has sold the property to Dincln Brothers of New -Mr.

Shares, it is said, disposedof the property for the reaaon that beautiful Kiamesha Lake has been condemned for the water supply of the village of Monticello. All bathing, boating and fishing have been, or will be, prohibited. Dincln Brothers have made a very auspicious start and will have a large number of patrons. Many former patrons of Manager' Shares' hotel have turned in disappointment to seek summer quarters elsewhere. As the hotel was always well patronized, in fact, better than the majority of those In the county, the reason assigned by rumor for the disposal of the property is probably correct.

Kiamesha 'Villa, under the proprietorship of J. H. Taylor, enters favorably upon the new summer season, with Us booking list showing almost a unanimous return of last season's patrons. The crack bowling and baseball teams will meet during July for full reorganization, and will meet all comers for the hotel championship of the county. Cottagers have been returning to their summer homes In large numbers during the week.

Among Kiamesha arrivals are: S. Porter at the Edge wood, F. Ditlinger at Laurel Crest and H. T. Tullls at Sunset Cottage.

S. Mannaduke was here during the week, overseeing the renovation of WiMmere, his summer cottage overlooking Kiamesha Lake.

The tourists, it is said, are.

en rout to Chicago. BEAUTIFUL LAKE GElGE. Many Guests Enjoying Delightful Early Summer Brooklyn People Registered. Lake George, N. June 22 The bluest of summer skies, a flood of sunshine, balmy breezes, the honk of the motor cars as they purr along In an endless procession, all tell that summer iB here with its enthusiastic throng of pleasure and health seekers.

The cold weather of early June dampened the hopes of the hotel men at first, but now the most pessimistic of them all begins to wear a broadening smile as he greets his first arrivals and tells of the host to come. All hotels Pearl Point and the Fort William Henry are now open and their guests begin to arrive. The registration permanent guests is small as yet, but quite a flood of tourists and bridal couples is here for a day, with now and then an early resorter who comes to enjoy the perfect June weather on the lake. The Sagamore is constant In its progressive methods of improvement and Mr, Krumbhola will this year give to his guests even better facilities than in the past. The island, on which the hotel Is located, in its garb of foliage and flowers, with its 'walks and drives and Its extensive shore line, is fairly entitled to rank as one of the most attractive beauty spots on the lake.

At the Marion there are few radical changes, hut everyuhe-e there shows the spirit of enterprise; newly furnished rwims, freshly graded walks and some new paths and drives add their quota. A new garage is building for the convenience of motorist guests. Mrs. Stephen L'olnes of Brooklyn arrived last week at her cottage, Quarterdeck. Carl H.

and Albert De Silver of Brooklyn, who have for many years been visitors at the Sagamore, have arrived for the summer. Albert De Silver is an enthusiastic tennis player and will be a prominent figure in the Sagamore Tennis Club. Mrs. J. H.

SACANDAGA'S CHARMS. Park on River Bank Attracts yisitora From Afar. Sacandaga Park, N. June 22 It is the boast and glory of the Adirondacks that yery locality within its borders is replete with beautiful Bcenery and charming features; and so its southern townships, in addition to the merit of accessibility, can show lakes and rivers and mountains of such character that they have made their region extremely popular, not only with the people of the Mohawk Valley, but with visitors from far off states. Korthville and Sacandaga Park are at the terminus of the Fonda, John3town and Gloversville Railroad, six hours distant from New York.

Here on the banks of the Sacandaga River is a park which has a frontage of one mile upon the bank of the river, and extends back upon and over a wooded bluff, covered with a thick growth of pine, maple, beech and other hardwoods. At Sacandaga Park the Sacandaga River loses much ot its force, the wild gorges and rapids are left behind, and It becomes a grateful stream, making Its course down a beautiful valley to unite with the Hudson. Even here the valley Is not wide, and for inl.es mountainous ranges confine it. Gaps and angles keep the stranger speculating what lies beyond, while the delightful homes of summer visitors attract the eye. There is abundant opportunity here for sport, the wide forest areas close at hand are the haunts of deer and the river and Its tributaries are stocked with trout and bass.

Th-s river is much favored by canoeists and fishermen, who enjoy trolling or si ill fishing; and in the park, where there are several hotels and boarding houses, there is a wide variety of iiaxiiines including bowling, tennis, en if and baseball: fnr games in the Xew York Staie League are often played here. One of the features here is music, and there ere dally concerts by E. W. Pmuty's band of Bneton. Thre are gn.a mans aiong tne riverside fr'm its soutce in I -alee Pleasant, Pisaco and Sacandapa.

Paths among the beautiful trees entice one into the forest, and up the si les of the mountain on the wtst lt Hih Rocx. an elevation several hundred fet above the river. Here a mot extensive view may he had of the Sacandapa. the Hudson end the Mohawk valleys, while far to the southward are the and io the northward the peaks of the Adirondacks.

MANY GUESTS AT WATCH HILL. Great Demand for Hotel Rooms and Cottages Brooklyn Cottagers Arrive. Watch Hill, R. June 22 Summer re- sort activity Is manifesting Itself here in the opening of the Ocean House and frequent arrival of hotel guests and cottagers. Since the warm spell set in there has been a continuous influx of summer residents.

There is now every Indication that Watch Hill Is to have a lively season. During the past two or three days there has been an unprecedented call for rooms at the two big hotels, and the cottages placed In the hands of the real estate agents for rent are going rapidly. Many changes and Improvements have been made here since last summer. The town of Westerly, which takes in Watch Hill, appropriated $15,000 last fall to be spent In straightening and widening the highway leading from the old settlement to the resort. The work is now well advanced, The contract calls for completion by July 1, This road' Is six and one-half miles long and connects the place with the mainland.

It is always crowded with automobiles. Both of the big fashionable hotels, the Ocean House and the Watch Hill House, have made extensive Improvements In their establishments. The Ocean House has a new extension at the left of the front entrance, which is to be used as a smoking and card room, The entrance has been entirely remodeled and enlarged and an attractive balcony built over the front door. The office floor has been redecorated throughout and many of the rooms entirely refurnished. The entire exterior of the Watch Hill House has been newly shingled and painted.

Several new bathrooms nave been installed and the rooms newly decorated and furnished. Seven new cottages have been added to the Watch Hill colony.
