improving every year, and plenty of ducks. On Tuesday, August 23rd, patrolled 

 the waters from Port Perry to Washburn Island, thence to Csesarea, and met 

 Inspector Watson, who states that the family of Herrons of that place give him 

 quite a lot of trouble, these people are related to the Herron's of Ohemong Lake. 

 After leaving Caeserea we proceeded to a point below Washburn's Island, and 

 called on Inspector Parkins. He also states the law is well observed in that dis- 

 trict. Now, the reason of short mileage on the 22nd and 23rd is shallow water 

 and high winds. On Wednesday, August 24th, patrolled the waters from Lindsay 

 to Bald Point, thence to Fenelon Falls and Sturgeon Point, thence to Bobcayge'On, 

 where we lay for three hours on account of steamer "Beaver" having been stuck 

 with tow coming out of locks after leaving Bobcaygeon; patrolled the waters to 

 Gannon's Narrows, and laid there for the night, and was told there was some 

 shooting down by Herrington's Island. 



On Thursday, August 25th, patrolled the waters from Gannon's Narrows to 

 Chemong Park, thence to Chemong Village and Herrington's Island, and Islinda. 

 On the way took on Inspector NichoUs, and took canoe and paddled up Sandy 

 Creek, where we heard some one was shooting duck; laid there until 8 p.m., and 

 then came to steamer; also sent Ohapell with skiff around Herrington's Island, on 

 the way I searched four tents but found no guns of any kind ; also some Americans 

 with angling permits. On Friday, August 26th, patrolled the waters from Islinda 

 to Buckhorn, on the way searched two tents, but found they had no guns. One tent 

 American, the other from Peterboro, Ont. Left Buckhorn and patrolled to Deer 

 Bay, left off Inspector Nicholls, who will look after this bay and Black Duck Creek.

 day, August 30th, patrolled the waters from Bobcaygeon to Fenelon Falls, thence 

 to Eosedale, Kirkfield and Beaverton. Before leaving Bobcaygeon, I sent James 

 Shappee back to Pigeon Creek with instructions to watch the said Creek until my 

 return from Lake Simcoe. This Avas agreeable to Capt. Hunter. On Wednesday, 

 August 31st, patrolled the waters from Beaverton to Jackson's Point, thence to 

 Barrie, with Capt. Hunter and W. W. Holden, looking for a site for boathouse; 

 also held court on steamer at Beaverton, and had one man fined five dollars for
