OUR PRESIDENT. 





EXPLANATORY NOTE. 



I would here explain that our worthy Presiilent, always modest and retiring, only 

 after urgent solicitation, consented to allow liis portrait to appear in this little volume. 

 I am sure that I, and his many other devoted friends, will prize the book far more than 

 if his kindly face had not graced its pages. 



I desired exceedingly to present to my friends the portrait and autograph of another 

 well known gentleman and valued member of the Association, but as he preferred the 

 least prominence possible, in connection with the Trouting Excursion, I of course de- 

 ferred to his desire in the matter, but I must add, not without considerable regret. 



K. G. A.
