...TIME [May 29] you have religiously plugged the fishing ports of Montauk Pt., Peconic Bay and Manasquan, while for Maryland you merely show a weakfish. Did you know that one of the best fishing grounds in the East lies off Ocean City, MARYLAND? That there are to be had silver marlin, tuna, blues, and, so several veterans insist, blue marlin? . . . And also, if you think that Cape Hatteras has channel bass, why not try down around Chincoteague? Otherwise, your article was pretty good...
...tiara for the Embassy State dinner. After that function (where Mrs. Woodrow Wilson had an inning), Their Majesties entrained for Red Bank, N. J., next morning were escorted to the destroyer Warrington at Sandy Hook. Hundreds of Britishers on chartered steamers missed them as they sailed across the Lower Bay to the Battery.

Bergs "calved" on Greenland's west coast are first carried by a northward current tc Baffin Bay, then south in the Labrador current to the Newfoundland Banks. Some are wrecked on the coast, others drift into the Strait of Belle Isle; some float south to the Gulf Stream. This year, more bergs than usual were expected, because of an open winter in Baffin Bay and Labrador, and because...
...nothing are the British fonder than a carefully cultivated anachronism. In Winnipeg the Canadians were proud to produce a quaint ceremony of their own. Before the loopholed gate of old Fort Garry, Governor Patrick Ashley Cooper of the Hudson's Bay Co. paid to the King the rent established when King Charles II granted its charter: "Two elkcs and two Black beavers whensoever and as often as Wee our heires and successors shall happen to enter into the said Countryes Territoryes and Regions hereby granted." The King was willing to relax the requirements, and instead...
