HIS Association, which is composed in great part of 
i . M natU ^ Ull , 8t ^’ WaS forniall y organized at Cooper Insti- 
tute New York City, on the 19th of May instant. The at- 
tendance was small, although the roll of membership in- 
eludes some 225 persons. However, since the object of an 
organization was merely to constitute a body from which 
aulhomy might emanate, and to appoint committees under 
such authority , from those who had expressed by letter a 
willingness to sen* thereon, the paucity of representation 
did not necessarily imply that the cause wan weak or the 
labor vain The large number of reporters present was in- 
dicative of the .merest taken by the press in the subject of 
game protection. We append a list of the gentlemen who 
attended the meeting: —
