oN ee ee ee 
Upon again assembling an election of officers for the follow- 
ing year was then declared in order, the first being that of 
President. 
Mr. MitteR nominated Mr. George Shepard Page for Presi- 
dent. No other name was proposed, and he was balloted for 
and elected. 
Mr. Buackrorp recounted the services of Mr. Page to fish- 
culture, and stated that it was from his suggestion that the 
United States Commission on Fish and Fisheries had sprung, 
and other facts which are matters of record. 
Mr. Marner then named Mr. James Benkard for Vice-Presi- 
dent, and his election followed. 
Mr. Pace alluded to the fact that the South Side Sportmen’s 
Club, of Long Island, of which Mr. Benkard is president, would 
market 4,oco pounds of brook trout this year, bringing the 
handsome sum of $3,000. He mentioned this because it has 
been asserted that this fish cannot be successfully raised for the 
market, an error that the club is slowly correcting. 
Mr. BLACKFORD named Mr. Charles B. Evartsgor Treasurer. 
Mr. Annin named Mr. E. G. Blackford; upon ballot Mr. Black- 
ford was elected, and Mr. Evarts moved that it be made unani-
