FISH EXHIBITIONS. 



At the Sportsmens' Show in New York city, March 1 to 9, 1912, 

 the following live fish were shown : 



Maskalonge, from Bemns Point. 



Brown trout, adult, from Caledonia. 



Brook trout yearlings, from Bath. 



Lake trout, three years old, from Bath. 



Pikeperch, catfish, bullheads, buckeye shiners, minnows, lawyer 

 and mud puppy from Constantia. 



Short-nosed sturgeon, small mouthed black bass and large 

 mouthed black bass from Linlithgo. 



Chain pickerel, banded pickerel, white perch, yellow perch, 

 brook trout adult, rainbow trout adult and marine killies from 

 Long Island. 



The fish were exhibited in nine aquarium tanks eight of which 

 were about three feet long, and the largest one nearly six feet. 

 The water was not clear, and the equipment for circulation was 

 imperfect; but no losses occurred except in transportation from 

 Linlithgo, Bath and Long Island. If the Commission exhibits 

 live fish at the Sportsmen's Show in future, the management 

 should furnish much better facilities and a better location. The 

 big maskalonge was successfully transported from Chautauqua 

 Lake in a tank 4 inches shorter than the fish, and was safely trans- 

 ferred to the New York Aquarium after the close of the show. 

 The exhibition was remarkably successful and attractive. 



At the State Fair, at Syracuse, the Commission displayed a 

 variety of food and game fishes which were obtained in Oneida 

 Lake and at all of the other hatcheries except Cold Spring Harbor. 

 The water supply was very much improved over that of last year. 

 At the close of the fair the fish remaining alive were delivered 

 to William Dunk, chairman of the propagation committee of the 

 Anglers' Association of Onondaga, and they were planted by him 

 on September 15, 1912, in the following waters:
