The success of the undertaking was such 

 that it is hoped similar exhibits may be 

 held in Virginia from year to year.

 October 26-30, 19 14. So successfully did 

 she carry out her commission, and so pro- 

 nounced was the interest shown by visitors, 

 that the management of four other fairs 

 held in South Carolina earnestly requested 



that she also take the Audubon Exhibit 

 to their gatherings. This the Secretary

 and Lancaster, December 2—8.

 that state. One of these provides for the 

 establishment of a State Game Commis-

 non-resident hunter's license, and for the 

 various details incident to the operations 

 of such a department. The second bill 

 provides for hunting-seasons consistent 

 with, and agreeing with, the season pro- 

 vided for that region by regulations as at
