from a point opposite Ravensbourne to the other| 
side. When that was done the fish that ran 
up the Leith and deposited their ova would be! 
preserved from those persons who now netted 
a good many of them. Besides, it would be an 
advantage to the Government itself in its efforts) 
in connection with the marine hatchery by afford-} 
ing a sanctuary for the small flounders and other 
fish that had been turned into the harbor of 
late years. With regard to the deer, various 
deer stalkers had been expressing pretty strong 
opinions on the condition of the herd and the 
necessity of steps being taken to improve it. 
There could be no doubt that the number of 
malformed heads was increasing, but as to the 
reason there was a difference of opinion. It 
had been alleged by some that the inbreeding 
had much to do with it, but others were of 
opinion that that was not the cause. For him- 
self, he agreed with the latter view. Of course, 
if all the malformed heads were left alone every 
year—because the deer stalkers admitted they 
did not shoot them—they would appear to 
increase much more rapidly than they really 
did. They were allowed to remain and to roam 
the forest, while the best deer were being shot. 
It would be desirable, it was said, to have a 
number of these malformed heads shot off, and 
such a suggestion appeared reasonable, as _ it| 
would improve the herd materially. The council | 
had already had the matter under consideration, 
and the incoming council would take further! 
steps. : 
Referring to the disappearance of native birds, | 
he said he felt that the society and the public 
were indebted to Dr. Fulton for his paper and} 
for many useful suggestions he had made with 
a view to retaining these birds. Dr. Fulton, | 
however, had done the society scant justice in| 
one respect. He had stated that two years ago) 
he brought before the society the question of} 
the destruction of native game, and nothing came | 
of it. As a matter of fact the society had given 
the matter careful consideration. Twenty of the 
residents of the Catlins district had been written 
to—those most capable of giving an opinion— 
and twenty replies were received. While a few| 
of the writers stated that pigeons did breed all | 
through the season, the large majority of the 
writers—and they were the persons upon whose |. 
word most reliance could be placed—were dis- 
tinctly of the opinion that the society had acted 
wisely in fixing the shooting season for the three | 
months that had been set apart for it, and that 
it was during the spring and early summer that 
the pigeons were known to build. An odd case 
might be found during the winter, but such a 
thing was the exception. Dr. Fulton made a 
great mistake when he said that the society did 
not give the matter the attention it ought to) 
give it. In addition, the society had spent a con- | 
siderable sum of money every year in sending |; 
rangers to different districts at the opening of 
the season to see that shooting merely for the | 
sake of shooting did not occur. 
QUEEN ALEXANDRIA AS AN ANGLER. 
THE Queen and Princess Victoria are both| 
very fond of salmon fishing, and intend to en- 
joy their favorite sport while in Norway, where 
they will make a stay before proceeding to Den- 
mark. As a rule when the Queen is in Den- 
mark she and her sister, the Dowager-Empress 
of Russia, and Princess Victoria all go on great 
The Queen 
always uses a small light rod and the smallest 
fly, while Princess Victoria uses a heavier make. 
The more practical Princess Royal uses a hick- 
ory wood rod, and she has designed an excellent || 
fishing lure, which she has named the “Mar |! 
Lodge” fly. The Princess is the most expert |! 
angler in the royal family, and beats even her |! 
father, the King, and the Prince of Wales in|! 
playing a salmon. Her favorite ground is just 
above the Linn of Dee, where she lands salmon |! 
which usually weigh from 10 to 12 pounds ay;

piece; but her finest record was two or three 
years ago when she creeled two salmon weigh- 
ing together over 80 pounds. “It’s the gude!!

the gillie who witnessed the struggle between 
the huge fish and the small royal hands that held |!
