GAME LICENSES.
£1 for One Moivth. The president of the King Country Acclimatisation Society (Mr F. Moorhouse) recently wrote to the president of the Auckland Acclimatisation Society, asking "what the fee for game licenses was to be this year, as the season is only open for one month. As the game is not, anc] never had been, plentiful in the King Country, sportsmen in this district object very much to pay £1 for a month's shooting, as it means, most probably, not more than two days' shooting in that time. All are willing to pay ten shillings and that is, I think, a fair figure, and 1 strongly advise your Society to make the license fee not more than ten shillings, as we badly want the money for acclimatisation purposes. " A telegram was received in reply to this letter from Mr Daw, the secretary of the Auckland Acclimatisation Society, saying "Government have fixed license fee twenty shillings."
