At Canandaigua, N. Y. 
The annual meeting and banquet of the 
Canandaigua Rod and Gun Club was recently 
held. The following officers were elected: 
President, W. H. Fox; vice-president, Lewis 
H. Adams; secretary and treasurer, A. B. 
Sackett; shooting master, Louis Sayre; as- 
sistant shooting master, H. J. Reed; chief 
angler, F. A. Christian; assistant chief angler, 
W. E. Thomas; attorney, E. W. Gardner. 
The fishing in the lake this season has been 
excellent, especially for black bass. There 
have been some very good catches. It was 
decided to purchase some Mongolian pheasants 
for breeding purposes. 
It was unanimously voted to favor the in- 
crease of the limit of black bass from 8 to 10 
inches. 
Fish Commissioner C. H. Babcock and H. 
H. Layman and James Annin, jr., were elected 
honorary members. 
The club then sat down to a banquet of haif 
a dozen courses, served in fine style by Caterer 
Hennesy. ‘Toasts andspeeches then followed. 
A Holiday and Double Number. 
On or about December 15, we will issue a 
double number for the holidays, under the 
dates of December and January. We propose 
to make this issue one that will gladden the 
hearts, and meet the utmost demands of the 
anglers of America. Our journal is now fif- 
teen years old, certainly aged enough to speak 
for itself, which it will do, we hope effectively, 
during the holiday times. To our advertisers, 
we announce that we have during the past 
eighteen months, been carefully gathering 
a list of names, nearly 25,000, of boni fide 
anglers, and each of them will receive a copy 
of our gala issue.
