Cai tch eon; delegate to the Auckland Acclimatisation Society, MfR- F. Harris. The annual report showed that tb® club had 87 members, and would star* the new year with a strong credit balance. The policy of developing tno fish in holding ponds had been P roV to be in the interests of sport, and fishing was improving all round. Other interesting items mentioned were that the Indian Chukor partridges appeared to have acclimatised successfully in the Taringamotu Valley, and that the Brown Australian quail were rapidly increasing and with Californian quail were providing fine sport.
