and this is one of the causes of the depletion of the 

 lakes. How it will affect the game in New York State is 

 uncertain. I actually know of one hunter living just 

 west of Monroe County who last year acknowledged 

 having shot 400 head of game birds and shipped 

 them to New York. Our inspector was on the watch 

 all the season and knew it, but we never got track of it. 

 The law prohibits the shipment of game from one 

 county to another. People can live without game, but 

 I have boys, and want to see the coming generation 

 have a little sport." 



By Mr. May : 



"This being an American Fisheries Society, it has 

 little to do with game, and I believe that the sentiments 

 expressed represent the two difterent sides of tht: ques- 

 tion, and with your consent we will allow this matter 

 to be passed over, and we will proceed with the further 

 reading of papers, and as it is not within the provisions 

 of this Society to consider the question of game, we 

 will let it drop."
