Glen Corl to Defend Hanmer Crown In July 4th Guideboat
Defending champion Glen Corl announced yesterday that he will defend his title in the 3 1/2-mile Willard Hanmer Guideboat race on July 4.
Corl will face a probable field of 15 in that class vying for the top cash prize of $100 and the trophy presented annually by Paul Smith's Electric Light and Power Co. The first six entries have already been signed. The other classes included in the regatta which starts promptly at 11 a.m. from Baldwin Park on Lake Flower Avenue are the 2-man canoe event and Folbots under the chairmanship of Rex Brusgul.
It was learned at the very moment the committee meeting was being held Monday, that a challenge had been issued by Saranac Lake Mayor Howard Riley and his stern-paddler (canoes) Mickey Luce to Enterprise Editor Peter W. Cox, and his partner Dr. Alfred Decker, who were second in the 1964 AuSable River race recently held at Lake Placid. This shapes up as a grudge match and both teams have been practicing diligently in time trials at sundown, twice a week. The race for ail types of craft includes the stretch on Lake Flower, a carry over Main Street at the bridge and dam, and a course of river running directly through the village under seven bridges including some rapids near Pine Street.
Inquiries have been received from Canton and Potsdam by prospective entries where canoeists of the Grasse River championships have some able paddlers anxious to test the mettle of the northerners.
The finish line at the Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club grounds will be a scene of fun and liveliness with prizes being awarded at this point In addition to the Paul Smith's trophy and the guide-boat cash prizes, there will be the Harry Duso and Sons trophy for canoe winners and two hand-made paddles, a special prize in the youth class for boys or girls 15 and under, plus a prize for "ancients", that boat whose paddlers have the highest aggregate age and finally, [a] women's award.
It is presently understood that the Chamber of Commerce is seeking a suitable canoe partner for William G. Distin, Sr. (of "suitable" age)…

Lake Clear Hatchery
DEC's Lake Clear hatchery began stocking over 140.000 trout in Essex county streams early in April. Hatchery Manager, Glen Corl, said: "We will release an additional 4500 Lake trout, and 75,000 land-locked salmon-mostly in tributaries." A total of 1300 splake (a lake speckled hibrid) are to be released, probably in Connery Pond, unless DEC makes a last minute change.

River Fishing
Looking for a place to fish while waiting for the Derby to begin?
Glen Corl, New York State's fish hatchery manager, says he has just completed the stocking of 90,000 trout between west and east branches of the AuSable River. Add that total to the Crown Point Hatchery's contribution and you can readily see a good target to focus on. And if you want to know what a hatchery manager does on his vacation, you have already guessed it — Corl is headed up to the Bangor (Maine) salmon pool and adjacent waters for a week of salmon fishing.
