Anglers’Association. —The general committee met 
on Monday last the 5th inst. Mr. W. H. Beckett, vice- 
president, occupied the chair. The minutes of the last 
general committee held on the May 1, were read and 
confirmed. The members of two clubs attended with 
regard to a subject of considerable importance to them¬ 
selves and anglers in general; after a very patient hear¬ 
ing lasting over one and a half hours, the enquiry was 
adjourned to the next delegate meeting, when it is ex¬ 
pected further evidence will be forthcoming. The 
“Albert” Piscatorial Society meeting at the Cowley 
Arms, Normandy-place, were duly enrolled on the books 
of the Association, after they had given information re¬ 
garding the sizes of fish that might bo weighed in. A 
letter from the Thames Conservancy dated the 3rd inst., 
was read, oalling the attention of the Association to the 
faot that they had further amended their proposed new 
bye-laws, that a draft of same had been published in the 
London Gazette of May 30, and in the Times of May 31; 
also that it would again appear in the Times of Wednes¬ 
day, June 7. A letter from Mr. C. H. Cook on this im¬ 
portant subject was also read, but, owing to the late 
hour, its discussion was referred to the next delegate 
meeting. The secretary reported that he had just heard 
that the South-Eastern Railway Co. had agreed to also 
waive its proposed action with regard to railway privi¬ 
lege tickets. Two posters were exhibited, signed by 
Henry C. Pratt, clerk to the board of the Stour, Suffolk 
and Essex fishery district: one notifying that the close 
time was from March 15 to June 15, both days inclusive.

J. AV ATKINS, sec. ^ , 
Central Association of Iiondon Angling Clubs. 
—A well-attended meeting of delegates took place at the 
Bedford Head Hotel, Maiden-lane, AV.C., on Uond&y 
evening last, under the presidency of Mr. C. A. Medc^t. 
Much regret and sympathy was then expressed for Mr. 
J. Kelly in his serious illness; a letter was received, 
intimating that a great improvement had taken pj^ce in 
his condition, which gave great pleasure and relief to 
those present. The enrolment of the Pixie Brothers 
Angling Society meeting, at the Rising Sun, Ha^er 
Street, New Kent Road, was duly confirmed. The 
letter received from the Thames Conservancy was read 
to the meeting, and after a varied discussion it 
agreed to forward a petition urging a reduction (it 
possible) in the speed of steam launches, and also that 
during the spawning season, swans, ducks, &o., should 
be removed from the river. The secretary reported 
that all the necessary arrangements concerning the 
association’s recently-acquired fisheries at Amberley, 
the signed agreement and receipts were produced 
and laid on the table for inspection. A letter ot 
thanks and receipt for ten guineas voted towards the 
funds of the Thames Angling Preservation Society were 
read to the meeting; also one for a donation of one 
guinea towards the object from the Great Northern 
Brothers Angling Society. It was resolved, on the 
motion of Mr. T. Goodwins, that this association do 
assist the Thames Public Rights Association, and that a 
donation be sent, Mr. Medcalf’a name to be submitted as 
our representative. A general discussion on the all im¬ 
portant question of the purification of the River Thames, 
it being generally agreed that some further action 
necessary, both on the part of Parliament and the 
County Council, and the subject was referred to the 
committee for consideration. Mr. AV. Elsmore reported 
that he had audited the books and accounts of the 
Anglers’ Benevolent Society, and found everything Ycry 
satisfactory. Much deserving good had been done by 
this grand institution, and it was thought that every 
club angler should join the society. Information was 
given to the delegates that the Lord of the Manor at 
Stratford St. Mary and Dedham had claimed the fishing 
in these districts of the Suffolk Stour, and to support 
this had raked out some musty old documents, which, 
there was no doubt, were worth very little if the case was 
forthwith properly gone into and pressed. However, 
an interim inj unction has been obtained by the claimant, 
and it is thought possible a perpetual injunction will 
bo applied for, thus making the case an urgent one. 
Mr. C. VVatling, visiting officer, stated tbat he attended 
the visit of tho Amicable AValtonians, at which fourteen 
clubs were present, the next one going to the Anchor 
and Hope Angling Sooiety, date of which will be 
shortly announced. The secretary reported that 
privilege tickets and instructions cards were ready for 
issuing, and that a large number of applications had 
been received, the secretaries of societies are again re¬ 
minded that all orders must be accompanied with a 
remittance, and in no case will this rule be departed 
from. All Communications to be Kent to the secretary,
