Sport: Fishing Special

What was probably the longest sport-train excursion yet staged in the U. S. took place last week when the B. & O. R. R., encouraged by the success of ski and bicycle trains, inaugurated a fishing special from Chicago to Annapolis, Md. (850 mi.) for a week-end of saltwater angling in Chesapeake Bay. Of the 52 Midwest lake-fishermen (48 men and four wives) who made the trip, 40 had never even seen salt water. Returning home with 700 fish, mostly hardheads and croakers, the first batch of angling excursionists felt quite satisfied that they had $40 worth of fun.
