18 T-wcuty-niiitli Annual Meeting 



old trout, and possil^ly as many more fr\-, and I guess I have the 

 longest stretch of ponds of anybody in the State, probably not 

 the largest stream of water. I will make all arrangements to get 

 you to the hatchery and back to the station, and you will have 

 three hours at the hatchery. 



The. President: I would suggest, to save time and to get 

 this matter in shape, that a committee of three might properly 1)e 

 appointed, for any further representatives to present the condi- 

 tions of getting- back and forth, and without further action I will 

 take it as your pleasure to appoint such a connnittee. I will 

 appoint ^lir. Dickerson, ^Ir. Nevin and Mr. O'Malley, and re-

 Are there any other matters to come up? 



Dr. Bushrod W. Jannes: 1 understand there is to be an 

 international meeting of the fisheries interests in Paris this year

 from Pennsylvania, or our Society did at least, as the representa-

 I am waiting for a letter from him now. He is probably in Paris 

 long- before this. I think it would be well if this Society would

 fact that at the Omaha meeting Mr. Whitaker, Prof. Birge and 

 myself were appointed delegates to that congress, but of course 

 I do not expect to go. 



The President: By this Society? 



M'r. Clark: By this Society. Of course I call attention to 

 it not on my own account, because I do not expect to go. I do 

 not know what provision Prof. Birge has made, Init Mr. 

 Whitaker is gone. I would verv much like to see the Society
