ly to committee meetings and be an open date, so far as the so- 
ciety was concerned; but if you should determine to take the 
afternoon to go over to the hatchery, perhaps the suggestion that 
we meet in the morning to transact some business and have some 
papers read would not be out of the way, and if that meets with 
your views we will do so. 
Mr. Root: I move that when we meet we meet here tomorrow 
morning at 9:30 o’clock for the transaction of any business that 
may come before us. 
Mr. Titcomb: Was not this committee on programme ap- 
pointed for the purpose of laying out the whole of this business 
from now until we get through ? 
President: Yes. I suppose we had better refer the whole 
matter to the committee on programme. 
Mr. Clark: I move that this matter be referred to the com- 
mittee on programme. 
Motion seconded and unanimously carried. 
President: 1 take the liberty in behalf of the society to 
thank our friend, the mayor, and Mr. Felger as representing the 
Sportsmen’s Association, for their kind words and for their in- 
vitation, and while I shall not avail myself of the suggestion to 
visit the places suggested by the mayor, undoubtedly a great 
many members of the society will. (Laughter. ) 
A recess was here taken until 2:30 p. m., same day and place. 
AFTERNOON SESSION.

Meeting called to order by the president. 
President: I understand that the programme committee is 
ready to report, and as we are without any real order of business 
until we get that report, I will call for the reading of it now.

mends the adoption of the following programme:
