The Staten Island Bird Club held its annual meeting and 

 election of officers on Wednesday, June 14, 1916, at the home of 

 Mrs. Wilhelm Knauth, Arrochar Park. The work of the club 

 during the past year was reviewed and plans for the future 

 discussed. 



The sixty members and guests present were addressed by 

 Dr. Attilio Caccini, of New York, v/ho told of bird life in Italy 

 and some of the methods employed by the Italians in snaring and 

 trapping birds. 



Mrs. Charles M. Porter was re-elected president for the en- 

 suing year and Mr. Howard H. Cleaves was named secretary-

On Saturday, June 3, Mr. Cleaves, in company with Mr. 

 R. M. Gunnison of the Brooklyn Eagle, acted as official judge in 

 Suffolk County, of the birdhouses constructed by school children 

 in connection with the Eagle's birdhouse prize contest on Long
