Saturday last was a red letter day in the annals of fly- casting at Stow Lake—another world's record in long-distance casting being inscribed on the tablet of Champion Walter D Mansfield's series of unequaled loDg distance scores. In Chi- cago, August last, at the world's fly-casting lournaine jt, Mansfield made the beet record cast to date, 111} feet, lead- ing the record of 102£ feet held by R. C. Leonard of New York. At Stow Lake a month later, Mansfield established a record of 113 feet. In one of the club contests succeeding he increased the record to 117 feet. Last January, in New York, at Madison Squire Garden, during an indoor contest, Leonard made a cast of 120 feet. At the club competition on Stow Lake, April 16ih, Mansfield beat all previous rec- ords with a cast of 120£ feet. The new record was made on a long distance cast of 1251 feet, which feat exceeds Leon- ard's indoor cast by 5i feet. W. E Bacheller and Dr. E. N. Lowry, with a score of 115 and 114 feet respectively, were near the top on the list of high class casters, both casts exceeding all previous out-door records, excepting those of Mansfield's First honors in the distance and accuracy event were won by W. E. Bacheller on a record of 90 2-3 per cent. Lowry was second with 90 1-3 per cent, and \ 0,102 third with 87 2 3 per cent. In the ac- curacy and delicacy event Smpth took firet place with 86} per cent
