 to start from the hotel at 8 o'clock a. m., July 28, on the 

 special car provided by the club.

Afternoon Session, July 27, 1909. 



The meeting was called to order at 2 o'clock. 



President: The committee on the reading of papers has 

 made a preliminary report, and the order of the papers for 

 the afternoon has been determined on. 



Mr. John W. Titcomb : I would like to make an an- 

 nouncement. A few days ago my attention was called to a 

 weed cutter manufactured by Aschert Brothers, of Mil- 

 waukee, Wisconsin. I do not know anything about this 

 cutter, but if it is what the circular says it is, it is something 

 that the lish culturists want, especially those engaged in pond 

 culture. So I wrote to the firm and asked them to have it 

 here, and be ready to demonstrate it, and one of their rep- 

 resentatives has come. Moreover, I have been informed by 

 a member of the Castalia Trout Club that the club will be 

 glad to see a demonstration of this machine tomorrow at the 

 ]M-eserve, and I therefore ask that Mr. Aschert go v;ith th.e 

 Society tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, and have his cMter 

 at the club grounds ready for demonstration. The circulars 

 with reference to it are on the table. 



The six papers previously announced, by Dr. Tarleton 

 H. Bean, Mr. W. E. Meehan, Mr. Ward T. Bower, Mr. 

 Charles W. Burnham, Mr. Andrew Price, and Mr. Charles 

 H. Stevenson, were then presented. The papers and the dis- 

 cussions are printed in the second part of the proceedings.
