the party which was the State Fish Hatchery at Caledonia. The active labours 
of the committee for the present, ended with the adjournment taken at the Cham- 
ber of Commerce rooms yesterday afternoon. 
At theState hatchery the party were received by Supt. Monroe A. Green and 
shown the process of producing fish from the spawn, together with everything 
pertaining to the enterprise. 
After spending two hours in inspecting the ponds and. streams, the party re- 
turned highly delighted with their visit. 
As the train reached Rochester, the visitors from abroad held a meeting in the 
saloon of the private car, Gen. R. U. Sherman, of Oneida, in the chair, when Mr. 
A. D. Stewart, of Hamilton, Ontario, moved, seconded by Dr. H. M. Smith, of 
Washington, D.C., the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted : 
Resolved, That the thanks of this International Conference be expressed to the Directors of 
the Rochester & Pittsburg Railroad Company for placing at the service of the members a luxu- 
riously equipped special train for their conveyance to and from the Caledonia fish hatchery, and 
to Mr. A. G. Yates, the president of the company, for his courtesy in accompanying the party 
and contributing so much to their comfort. 
We desire also to express to Supt. Monroe A. Green our thanks for the facilities afforded 
us to examine the work at this parent establishment, which we trust will long stand as a monu- 
ment to the memory of his deceased brother, Seth Green, who was the first in this country to 
establish artificial fish culture. 
Our thanks are also especially due, and are gratefully tendered to Mr. D. W. Powers for 
the privilege courteously afforded of inspecting his wonderful art gallery—an institution in 
which all the people of Rochester, equally with the founder should feel an honourable pride, 
—Carried. 
At the afternoon meeting when the codification of the Game and Fish Laws 
was under consideration, Senator McNaughton stated that in his opinion the Bill 
reported by the special committee, consisting of Messrs. Sherman, Roosevelt and 
_ Whittaker, which passed the Assembly at the last session would have passed the 
Senate if it had not been for the deadlock, and that he had no doubt but that at 
the next session of the Legislature the Bill reported by the special committee 
would become a law. That Bill not only codifies, but simplifies the existing Game 
Law of the State, and the great work performed by the Commissioners can read- 
ily be seen when it is stated that the proposed Bill amends or repeals 239 special 
acts or parts thereof relating to Fish and Game Laws. 
In support of the suggestion of Senator McNaughton at the meeting of the 
Fish Commissioners yesterday, that particular and immediate attention should be 
given by the Fish Commissioners of New York State to re-stocking Lake 
Ontario with whitefish and salmon, and the Hudson River with shad, Mr. Henry 
C. Ford, one of the Fish Commissioners of Pennsylvania, stated that the Com- 
missioners of Fisheries in that State some years ago turned their attention to re-
