The trout season has just closed. The 

 camp of the Spruce Run Park Association 

 opened May 16. We do not allow any 

 member (or his invited guests) to catch 

 more than 59 trout in any one day,* and 

 only allow them to fish the streams alter- 

 nately. We have 3 streams. The trout are 

 mostly eaten at the club house. The catch 

 of the entire club, was 1,740 for the season. 

 We put in the streams, this season, about 

 15,000 fry. We will now get ready for fall 

 grouse shooting, for which the indications 

 are good. G. R. Boak, Supt, 



Pine Glen, Centre Co., Pa. 



An editor was rash enough to remove a 

 few lines from a poem he had accepted, 

 whereupon the author wrote him a letter 

 which wound up thus: 



" And now, O slaughterer, vivisector, 

 mangier, maimer, destroyer, disfigurer, de- 

 former, defacer, crippler, mutilator, good- 

 by! Put this in your pipe and smoke it! " 



Your correspondent who writes about 

 having ivory-billed woodpeckers shown 

 him in Michigan, by a guide who called 

 them woodcock, is about as far in the dark 

 as was his guide. Probably the birds were 

 the pileated woodpecker, Ceophloeus pileatus. 

 F. B. Spaulding, Lancaster, N. H.
