  me 
  to 
  supply 
  the 
  wants 
  of 
  applicants 
  much 
  more 
  conve- 
  

   niently 
  than 
  heretofore. 
  

  

  Last 
  season 
  I 
  issued 
  to 
  each 
  applicant 
  twenty 
  (20) 
  fish, 
  

   but 
  it 
  was 
  necessary 
  for 
  the 
  parties 
  desiring 
  them 
  to 
  send 
  

   to 
  the 
  hatching-house 
  in 
  Druid 
  Hill 
  Park 
  for 
  their 
  re- 
  

   spective 
  quotas. 
  I 
  am 
  happy 
  to 
  announce 
  that 
  I 
  can 
  now 
  

   send 
  the 
  fish 
  by 
  Express, 
  through 
  the 
  co-operation 
  of 
  the 
  

   Companies 
  above 
  mentioned, 
  to 
  any 
  of 
  their 
  stations. 
  

   This 
  arrangement 
  will 
  save 
  applicants 
  much 
  trouble 
  and 
  

   expense. 
  I 
  would 
  much 
  prefer, 
  however, 
  to 
  issue 
  the 
  

   fish 
  at 
  the 
  ponds 
  ; 
  and, 
  in 
  order 
  to 
  induce 
  those 
  wishing 
  

   them 
  to 
  co7)ie 
  for 
  them, 
  will 
  issue 
  ten 
  fish, 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  

   the 
  usual 
  number 
  supplied, 
  to 
  those 
  who 
  come 
  for 
  them, 
  

   and 
  who 
  thus 
  relieve 
  us 
  of 
  the 
  necessity 
  of 
  shix^ping. 
  

  

  The 
  number 
  (A 
  fish 
  that 
  will 
  be 
  sent 
  to 
  parties 
  desiring 
  

   them 
  will 
  be 
  fixed, 
  for 
  the 
  present, 
  at 
  forty. 
  The 
  cost 
  

   of 
  wagoning 
  to 
  the 
  station, 
  express 
  charges 
  and 
  return 
  of 
  

   the 
  cans 
  to 
  the 
  Druid 
  Hill 
  Hatching 
  House, 
  will 
  be 
  two 
  

   dollars 
  ($2.00), 
  which 
  amount 
  will 
  be 
  collected 
  by 
  the 
  

   Express 
  Agent 
  on 
  the 
  delivery 
  of 
  the 
  fish. 
  The 
  parties 
  

   receiving 
  the 
  fish 
  must 
  be 
  provided 
  with 
  a 
  vessel 
  to 
  which 
  

   the 
  fish 
  can 
  be 
  transferred 
  on 
  their 
  delivery. 
  The 
  num- 
  

   ber 
  of 
  transporting 
  cans 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  Commission 
  is 
  

   limited 
  ; 
  and 
  there 
  is, 
  of 
  course, 
  an 
  urgent 
  necessity 
  for 
  

   their 
  prompt 
  return. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  received 
  the 
  most 
  encouraging 
  accounts 
  of 
  the 
  

   success 
  which 
  has 
  attended 
  the 
  cultivation 
  of 
  this 
  fish 
  by 
  

   those 
  who 
  have 
  hitherto 
  been 
  recipients 
  of 
  them 
  ; 
  and 
  it 
  

   bids 
  fair 
  to 
  fill 
  a 
  want 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  much 
  felt 
  in 
  this 
  

   State. 
  This 
  fish 
  is 
  so 
  admirably 
  adapted 
  for 
  dpmestic 
  

   purposes, 
  that 
  every 
  one 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  who 
  has 
  even 
  a 
  

   small 
  pond, 
  such 
  as 
  is 
  usually 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  collection 
  

   of 
  ice, 
  should 
  prepare 
  it 
  for 
  rearing 
  the 
  carp, 
  which 
  being 
  

   largely 
  a 
  vegetable 
  feeder 
  can 
  be 
  raised 
  at 
  very 
  little 
  ex- 
  

   pense, 
  and 
  can 
  be 
  utilized 
  for 
  the 
  consumption 
  of 
  the 
  

   waste 
  of 
  the 
  kitchen 
  and 
  garden. 
  

  

  I 
  trust 
  that 
  the 
  arrangements 
  which 
  1 
  have 
  made 
  will
