space around the corridors and big staircase, 
on main and balcony floors, to care for the 
overflow, of which over one-half of this extra 
space has been taken. 
Interest was manifested in various schemes 
for advertising, poster work and the interior

One hundred and ten firms have applied for 
space, and the public is assured an exhibition

STRAY DOGS AND CATS. 
A meeting of the Massachusetts Fish and 
Game Protective Association and kindred or¬ 
ganizations was held jointly in Boston on 
Dec. 13. 
Salem D. Charles was elected president and 
Henry H. Kimball was elected secretary, with 
George P. Clark, of Boston, assistant. Presi¬ 
dent Charles presented the New York Bayne 
law, which is an absolute prohibition on the 
taking and sale of game birds and animals, with 
permission to engage in the propagation and 
sale of birds and animals in captivity, with per¬ 
mission also to import game from Europe. 
Breeders’ licenses are issued for those who rear 
game in captivity. He said that the law would 
not be wholly applicable in this State. Prof. 
E. H. Forbush said it was a good law, as a 
whole. Game can be raised much cheaper in 
England than here, for there are 20,000 to 30,000 
gamekeepers over there engaged in propagation 
of game and they can raise it for half the price 
we can here. But it is imperative that game 
be better protected here. 
George H. Graham, of Springfield, was pre¬ 
sented as the new State commissioner. He said 
he had talked with the New York game officials 
and was satisfied that the Bayne law is good. 
We must do something very soon. There has 
been a great chang;e of sentiment in three 
years. There are thirty wardens in the State. 
They are working for the benefit of the sports¬ 
men and the farmers. The only way to meet 
the situation is for the sportsmen and farmers 
to co-operate. Each man is trying to cover fif¬ 
teen to twenty towns, and it is too much. We 
ought to restock the covers and the waters. It 
is an easy matter to do it. We can easily have 
good shooting in this State and not have so 
many hunters go to Maine. They would spend 
a great deal of money in this State. 
Dr. W. B. French moved that a bill be drawn 
to adapt the Bayne law to Massachusetts. N. 
J. Hardy made the point that birds legally shot 
in Maine could not be legally brought into 
Massachusetts under the Bayne law, and he did 
not think that was right. Discussion was car¬ 
ried on by different members, making the points 
that the bill ought to be passed, as all game is
