Martin, and E. W. Hailes took part. The subject was 
fully discussed on both sides, and several highly-interest¬ 
ing experience's were related. Mr. Shrubsole Opened 
new ground by suggesting that the bank coarse fisherman 
ought to provide himself with a fly-rod and a few flies, 
as often the fish are on the top of the water and would 
take a fly where they would not look at another bait. In 
1hi end the bank anglers gained a verdict by a large 
majority.—E. W. Hailes, hon. sec.
