POSITION AT TE AROHA The executive of the Auckland Acclimatisation Society met about 70 delegates of sub-societies and other sportsmen in Te Aroha. The president, Mr. F. E. McKenzie, in outling the policy of the society in liberating game, snid that in future birds would be liberated only on areas of 2,000 acres.
