lence of a north easter, accompanied by occasional show- 

 ers. 



The green budding bough and the fragrant flower orna- 

 mented the Castle, and the pendant mandarins. Coun- 

 sellor F r presented a suit of elegant colors, viz. an 



ensign, a jack, and a pendant, with characteristic pisca- 

 tory emblems. 



They were immediately hoisted to the breeze on the 

 bank in due form by the Governor and his officers, and the 

 good old ceremony of christening announced with cheers. 



A vote of hearty thanks was returned for the handsome 

 compliment. 



This season was remarkable for punctual attendance 

 of members, and attention to duty. 



On the 15th of May, the fishing was tolerably good. 

 Few perch were caught however until after this month, 

 when the shad season was over. The 29th was a com- 

 pany day, but the elements excluded fishing. 



On the 12th of June, upwards of twenty-five dozen 

 were brought in by the fishermen. 



The 26th was less successful, the wind being N. E. 

 and weather hazy and uupleasant. 



The enjoyments in doors were heightened by the circu- 

 lation of wine, wit, story and song, until approaching eve- 

 ning, dispersed the merry making assembly. 



Mr. Z. B. S a visiter, of the State of New 



York, produced and sung the following song, written for 

 the occasion, introductory to his sentiment.
