STATE SPORTSMEN'S CONVENTION 

 AT SYRACUSE. 



The nineteenth annual convention of the New York State 

 Association for the Protection of Fish and Game, convened 

 at Sumner Corps Hall, on Monday eveuing, 120 delegates 

 being present. The President, Mr. Greene Smith, called 

 the meeting to order and delivered an address that was 

 heartily endorsed by the meeting. He recommended that a 

 law be passed prohibiting the shooting of ruffed grouse, snipe 

 or duck before September 1 ; wild pigeons should beprotected 

 by law until August. He stated that there was more fish in 

 the waters of the State to-day than there has been for the past 

 twenty years, owing to the exertions of the New York State 

 Association ami Mr. Setb Green. lie urged that sportsmen 

 should secure the passage of a law making the open season for 

 quail from November 1 to February 1, and recommended that 

 K bob cogniseant of infringements of the game and fish laws 

 who did not inform against offenders, he expelled from the 

 local organizations. He said that game laws should not he 

 made solely for the benefit of wealthy sportsmen, but for the 

 purpose of increasing the amount of game and fish so that they 

 within the reach of all. The bird or fish taken out 

 is the very best, witness against law breakers. We

Washington, D, C, Jmiel. 1877. 

 ■"PIIE admirable course of lectures on zoology and coinpara- 

 -*- live anatomy, now being delivered by Dr. Elliott Cones, 

 to. I. i.rof anatomy in the National Medical College of this 

 District, have attracted much attention, and the learned Pro- 

 fessor has been listened to with marked attention not only by 

 the large class of students, but many prominent physicians and 

 scientists. The thorough manner in which he has developed 

 his subject shows deep research and study. He has been re- 

 peatedly complimented by gentlemen who have been honored 

 for years in the scientific world and who recognize his stand- 

 ing as a scientist, as well as his ability as a. naturalist, demon- 

 strated by numerous works acknowledged as standard author. 

 by to-day. Dr. Cones was recently elected lecturer on anato- 

 my in the National Medical College to fill the vacancy caused 

 by the greatly lamented death of Dr. Win. B. Drinkhard, and. 

 as he is a valued contributor to FoitKsr axd Stream I am sure' 

 the many readers of this journal will be interested in all that, 

 concerns his welfare-, is lectures are of the same character

He argued that there is a Science ofanatomyas well as an art 

 of anatomy, that the science of anatomy comprehends the idea. 

 of n. comparison in structure between different animals and a 

 a study of the relationship of homologous forms as they are- 

 presented in animals thai saioncs cannot take in the idea of 

 any one species without knowing the relation of that of other 

 species. The art o! anatomy is the intimate knowledge of an- 

 atomical structure which forms the basis of the science of an- 



atomy. He graphically pictured the use of

 be positively misleading. It is only by pushing the researches;

to repeat to us that stumbling block of ancients as' well as 

 moderns— that execrable conundrum— <M Jxrfo? What is the 

 use of all this study into details of the lower animals? They 

 can never be made of practical service. As well might wo re- 

 tort, -What is the use of a baby?" The lecturer took the 

 ground, without qualification, that the theory of evolution is, 

 true and that its application is universal; that is to siy, it in- 

 cludes man, his physical origin being directly and exactly ac- 

 cording to the relation of parent to offspring with ape-like 

 forms of animal life. Truth is always worth knowing, and 

 we are searchers after truth. 1 Ie argued that, according to an- 

 atomical and zoological facts man is a mammal of tie- same; 

 order as monkeys, from which he is a lineal offspring, and the 

 researches of the anatomist prove it in the most convincing 

 manner. The lecturer thought that if any exchange of ameni 

 ties were required we should pay our compliments to our Si- 

 mian ancestry and congratulate ourselves upon their success. 

 The converse cannot be maintained. AVhy should we fear the 

 induction? It canuot change us in any way. We are whit 

 we are, and cannot be reproached with ancestors oyer whom 

 we could have had no influence. Rather be proud of our high 

 position. He argued that this belief cannot clash with faith, 

 for faith is above reason; when we begin to reason about faith 

 it is no longer faith. " My soul's my own, and I will ledil if 

 need be, for my fail bin God." 

 He then diseased briefly the topic of Science m. Beligion

 Science is the strong ally of true religion, audits every method, 

 every purpose, every plan can he made to subserve the highest; 

 and noblest trims to which a rational human being can aspire.
