Mr. A. C. Maxson was adjudged winner of the trout fishing contest, with A. L. 
Lovett taking the booby prize. This contest furnished mountain trout for the entire 
crowd five mornings of the week, to say nothing of the good sport, blistered heels and 
wet feet. Mr. J. H Hoerner won the men’s singles in horseshoe pitching and Miss 
McDonald the women’s singles. Colorado took the doubles. Dr. Carl J. Drake was 
pronounced the champion “bug” catcher. The impromptu entertainments put on 
after the evening meetings revealed much talent and were greatly enjoyed by all. 
All entomologists in attendance and members of their families were unanimous in 
their request that the Conference be held again in 1924 and at the same place. To 
make plans for this an informal organization was formed with C. P. Gillette, Chair¬ 
man; Myron H. Swenk, Vice-Chairman and George M. List, Secretary and Treasurer. 
A number have already notified us that they are looking forward to this as a vacation 
trip for themselves and families. It is very probable that the dates will be August 
18-23, inclusive.

The Second Pan-Pacific Science Congress 
The Second Pan-Pacific Science Congress was held in Australia, August 13 to 
September 3, 1923. Sessions were held at Melbourne, August 13-22, and at Sydney, 
August 23 to September 3. There were about 80 overseas delegates, and 100 or 
more Australian scientists were in attendance. The overseas delegates were from 
Great Britain, Canada, United States, Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, Japan, Philippines, 
Malay States and Java. Six of the delegates were entomologists: Dr. Guy A. K. 
Marshall, Director of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, London; O. H. Swezey. 
Entomologist of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’Experiment Station, Honolulu; E.M. 
Ehrhorn, Chief Plant Inspector, Honolulu; Robert Veitch, Entomologist to the 
Colonial Sugar Refining Co., Lautoka, Fiji; Dr. R. J. Tillyard, Entomologist, 
Cawthorn Institute, Nelson, New Zealand; Dr. M. Oshima, Institute of Science, 
Formosa. 
The sessions of the Congress were held in eleven different sections: (1) Agriculture, 
(2) Anthropology and Ethnology, (3) Botany, (4) Entomology, (5) Forestry, (6) Geod¬ 
esy, Geophysics and Radiotelegraphy, (7) Geography and Oceanography, (8) Geology, 
(9) Hygiene, (10) Veterinary Science, (11) Zoology. Each section carried on its own 
sessions with papers and discussions appropriate to each. There were many joint 
sessions of closely related sections. There were a number of field excursions by the 
different sections to places of interest, or where there were demonstrations of matters 
of importance to the respective sections. 
The section on Entomology had a very full program with a long list of papers on 
subjects including sugar cane pests, cotton pests, orchard pests including fruitfly, 
cattle insects, sheep blowfly, timber borers, termites and cactus insects. In the 
papers and discussions of the various pests, much time was given to the conditions 
prevalent in Australia, history and habits of the pests considered, injury by them, and 
methods of combating them. Introduction and use of beneficial insects was given a 
good deal of prominence; instances of success by this method were given. The 
writer presented a paper showing benefits derived in Hawaii in control of sugar cane
