Two club high records were made on Sun¬ 
day, Aug. io, L. E. Dearmo establishing for the 
third time a club record in the delicacy and 
accuracy fly, on each occasion exceeding his own 
score. The club record, made by Mr. DeGarmo, 
in 1911, was 99 13/30; now it is 99 9/15. 
Call. J. McCarthy advanced the club record 
in light tackle distance fly at 103 feet, made by 
him on July 13, 1913, to 106 feet. 
The Chunk contest, announced for Aug. 17, 
at 2 p. m., has awakened a lively interest among 
the anglers of the club, and it bids fair to be 
a very enjoyable and successful event. 
Attention is called again to the three essen¬ 
tial requirements in the above contest. The 
chunk must not exceed one-half ounce in weight; 
the line must sustain a weight of not less than 
five pounds; a swivel snap must be used instead 
of a hook. 
The date announced for the opening of the 
national tournament of 1913 at our pool, Friday, 
Sept. 5, is fast approaching. 
The honor paid the Illinois Casting Club by 
the national committee in selection of our rounds 
for the greatest event of the year, will cause 
every member, interested in his club, to make 
great effort to show an appreciation of the com¬ 
pliment by his attendance and co-operation.

New York City, Aug. 7.— Editor Forest and 
Stream: My congratulations on the fortieth

American Fisheries Society. 
The forty-third annual meeting of the 
American Fisheries Society will be held in Bos¬ 
ton, Mass., on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 
and Thursday, Sept. 8-11, 1913. A large attend¬ 
ance is expected, and many interesting features 
are being arranged for in this great center of 
the commercial fisheries. 
The success of the meeting must depend 
largely upon the papers to be read and discussed. 
The members of the society are, therefore, earn¬ 
estly requested to contribute to the program the 
results of their studies and fishery work, so that 
the meeting may be altogether worthy of the 
local interest that will be aroused. 
There will be addresses by the Governor of 
Massachusetts and the Mayor of Boston. Some 
of the papers already announced for this meeting 
are as follows: “One Year’s Work at the Kan¬ 
sas Fish Hatchery,” L. L. Dyche; “Atlantic 
Salmon,” Charles G. Atkins; “The Development 
of the Salt Water Mussel Industry," Dr. Irving 
H. Field; “The Establishment of an Aquarium 
in Philadelphia,” W. E. Meehan; “The Alewife 
Fishery of Massachusetts,” Dr. George W. Field; 
"Fish Refuges,” Prof. Henry B. Ward; “Rear¬ 
ing of Small-Mouthed Black Bass,” Dr. T. H. 
Bean; "Some Marine Animals and Conditions 
Inimical to Fish Eggs and Larvae in the Sea,” 
Prof. Edward E. Prince; “A Perfect Fish Pass, 
Some Suggestions as to Defects and How to 
Overcome Them,” Prof. Edward E. Prince. 
Several other papers have been promised, 
and a number of members have announced their 
intention of attending the meeting. 
Special facilities will be offered for inspect¬ 
ing the new fish pier, the new Aquarium, the 
cold storage plants and various commercial es¬ 
tablishments engaged in capturing and distribut¬ 
ing fish. Excursions will be arranged to places 
of historic interest, and there will be special 
trips by sea and land to Gloucester, Woods Hole, 
Plymouth, Providence, Newport, Wickford and 
to certain fish hatcheries. 
Members who expect to contribute papers 
are requested to send copies at an early date to 
George H. Graham, office of the State Commis¬ 
sioners on Fisheries and Game, State House, 
Boston, so that the local committee will have 
time to arrange the details of the meeting and 
have the program printed in full. Correspond¬ 
ence relating to the meeting may also be directed 
to Commissioner Graham.

“A Great Satisfaction. 9 ’ 
Arden, N. C., Aug. 14.— Editor Forest and 
Stream: I am inclosing $1.50 for a six months’ 
subscription to Forest and Stream. Through 
an advertisement in your magazine in May of 
the shooting over my plantation in South Caro¬ 
lina, I have succeeded in renting it to Dr. Charles 
McBurney, of New York and Stockbridge. It 
has been a great satisfaction to me to be able 
to do it. O. M. Blake.
