THE STORY

Ontario Beach, N. Y, The greatest catch of any season was made here today and everybody in the neighborhood is wild about it. Nothing like it was ever seen before in the waters of the lake. The angler, one of Rochester’s best fisher men, was armed with, a bamboo rod of ordinary size. He had waited in rain for a bite for nearly half an hour standing out at the extreme end of the pier. At last he got one and from a fish of evidently enormous power. The battle which ensued has probably never been paralleled in piscatorial annals. It at attracted the attention of everybody at the beach so rapidly was the exciting news circulated. The beholders could scarcely believe their eyes when, as the finny monster was drawn out of the water its side was found to be adorned with the cabalistic words ” Chapman’s Bait Did It! “In verification of this, the first fish legend of the season, we annex: a truthful portrait of the scene.
