34 Tzvcnfy-iiiiit/i Annual Meeting 



Air. Peaboch' : Wisconsin thanks you for the honor, and I 

 beg to say that the State Fish Commission joins with the citizens 

 of Alilwankee in a cordial invitation to come to Wisconsin next 

 summer. 



We propose to take the memljers of the Society from Mil- 

 waukee to Wisconsin's new and magnificent hatchery at Bayfield, 

 on Lake Superior, a night's ride, and more than two hundred 

 miles from Milwaukee. 



We have a hatchery there that we think in some respects is 

 l)etter than any other, and this because nature has provided great 

 natural facilities, with an abundance of pure water. 



We, from Wisconsin, who have come twelve hundred miles 

 to this meeting, are hopeful that you Eastern people will accept 

 our cordial invitation to come west next summer and prevail 

 ])on as many of your friends as possible to join you.
