86 WILD LIFE PROTECTION FUND 



The expected happened. When it became perfectly evi- 

 dent that a persistence in that unhappy acceptance would 

 in all probability quite disrupt the National Audubon As- 

 sociation, the directors met and reconsidered their action. 

 After that, the strength of the Association mightily in- 

 creased; and it is highly probable that the Association 

 never has missed that $25,000 a year, because its annual 

 income has increased far beyond that figure! 



Finally, the gun-and-ammunition people organized and 

 financed the American Game Protective and Propagating 

 Association, with which we frequently have been closely 

 associated in campaign work, and toward which we enter- 

 tain only sentiments of sincere regard.
