American Fisheries Society.. 67 



at Niagara Falls, I would like to have it reconiniciKk'd that we 

 meet at Milwaukee the succeeding year. 



Mr. Whitaker: 1 believe it is not within the province of this 

 Society to select a meeting place for the year following- next 

 year. Of course we all appreciate the fact that Milwaukee would 

 be a delightful place to meet and we would receive entertain- 

 ment there that we might not receive at Niagara Falls, Init the 

 thing that appealed to the Committee was, that we have now met 

 two years in the West and should get nearer the bulk of our 

 membership another year. We don't want them to think that 

 we have taken this Society to the West and propose to keep it 

 here. We should meet further East next year. 



Mr. Spencley: While f support Mr. Peabody's remarks as 

 to his recommendation concerning Milwaukee, I am willing that 

 .some other place be selected, because I think in 1900 Wisconsin 

 will be in a better position to entertain the Society than they are 

 now. In other words, the new trout hatchery will be in better 

 shape. I therefore will acquiesce in the report of the Conmiit- 

 tee. 



Secretary Whitaker: I move the adoption of the report. 



Mr. Clark: I heartily agree with the report of the Conunit- 

 tee on the place of meeting. Am I to understand that this ques- 

 tion is to be determined now? 



President May: Yes. 



Mr. Clark: Just the location? 



President May: Yes. 



Mr. Dale: I have an invitation from the Pennsylvania Fish 

 Commission for the Society to meet in Philadelphia. I yielded 

 to Omaha last year, but I think it would lie more advantageous, 

 as Mr. \\'hitaker said, to go to a more central point than I'hila- 

 delphia. 



President May: It has been moved and seconded that the 

 report of Committee on Time and Place of next meeting of this 

 Society, fixing the place at Niagara Falls, be adopted ; are you 

 ready for the question? 



The question was put and unanimously carried, and Niagara 

 P'alls was selected as the place for the next annual meeting of the 

 Society.
