Weak fishing has been good in the new Randall canal and a number of big catches were made. Net fisherman however spoiled the pleasure by plac¬ ing a net at the end of the channel and "thumping" the fish into it.

The Building Committee are at work upon plans for the new Club House, to be erected on the Club's property on the west side of Randall's Bay and it ia expected that the erec¬ tion of an up-to-date club house will be commenced before the year ends.
It was voted to have a race for mo¬ tor boats and a clam bake in Septem¬ ber. The constitution and by-laws and flags of the Commodore, vice and rear- commodores were adopted.
Complaint being made that some per¬ sons had been fishing with seine nets and indulging in the abominable prac¬ tice of "thumping" or beating the wa¬ ter, thereby making a loud noise, frightening the weakfish, which have been running in large numbers in Ran¬ dall's Bay of late. Justice Wallace and Counselor Henry L. Maxson were appointed a committee to report to the club at a special meeting what action 'could be taken in tho matter and in the meantime to notify the proper author¬ ities to the end that the guilty one^ may be apprehended.
