fine trout have been caught in the Delatite and its tributaries; 
another instance of the success of the Society's labours in the 
cause of pisciculture; and the Council trust that those who 
appreciate the excellent sport which has been afforded to fishermen 
by the quiet and unostentatious labours of the Society for years past 
will contribute to the funds of the Society by becoming subscribers 
or by sending a donation. 
The Council beg to tender their thanks to the retiring President, 
the Hon. R. D. Reid, M.P., for the services he has rendered to the

Veterinary Surgeon, for his ready attendance at all times when his 
services have been required. 
The accounts for the past year have been duly audited by 
Messrs. Langton and Turner. The Balance Sheet will be published
