we going to stay away? Now, I really would lil^e to have an 

 expression of opinion from the members here, and I wisli thai 

 Mr. White's motion would be entertained. 



President : In the absence of a substitute being offered, there 

 is only one question to be considered, whether or not the report 

 shall be accepted or rejected, and the question is on the commit- 

 tee's report. 



The motion to adopt the committee's report was then unani- 

 mously carried. 



Dr. Bean : This is to be left with two otlicers, the President 

 and Secretary? 



President: Yes, and St. Louis may stand a pretty good 

 chance yet. 



Dr. Bean: If a vice-president were included possibly the 

 leaven would work. (Laughter). 



Mr. Clark : With the consent of the committee and the mem- 

 bers of this association I would like to make a motion that the 

 Vice-President, Dr. Bean, be added to that committee. 



Motion seconded and unanimously carried. 



Mr. Clark : I want to say that I feel if I am not broad 

 enough, our secretary and Dr. Bean are able to take up this ques- 

 tion and settle it for the best interests of the society, even if Dr. 

 Bean is strongly committed to St. Louis, I feel that between us 

 we can convince Dr. Bean to the contrary, if it is thought best 

 to go to some other point, and I know that lie is broad enough 

 to accept the situation. 



President: Doctor, you are in it. (Great laughter and ap- 

 plause). 



The auditing committee then presented its report, that the 

 committee had examined the report of the treasurer and found 

 tlie same to be coiTCct. 



Report accepted and adopted.

 Trout," whieli was discussed. 



The President tKen read a i)aper by Mr. Henry D. Ward on 

 the subject of "Some Notes on Fisli Food in the Lakes of the 

 Sierras."
