Correspondence. ANGRY ANGLERS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—"Angry Angler" very much over-rates the power of the Acclimatisation Society if he supposes that it can close any portion of a stroain. I think tho anglers of Masterton have much more reason to praise than blame the Society. As for me, my power of redressing the grievance pomplaii]ed of is very limited. When an advertisement was presented to me for my signature, I objected to the wording of it. I thought it would have been quite sufficient to havo put it in the form of a request to the anglers. Howovor, it was represented that some had dooided to fish, audit was necessary to put it strong—so after altering the wording of it and putting it mildor I signed it. All we wanted was from tho bridge across the Upper Plain Road to Mr Bunny's property. He promised to preserve his place also. It was a great acquisition, as we had obtained ijearly ijO.qpQ ovo from his water last year, ihe Sqciety js accused of breach of faith and of inciting landowners to forbid the streams to its licensees. This is meant for ine. I Ijaye pq recollection of pro, mising to open thp potion of stream referred to,well stocked with fish, this yea?. If I did say so I have forgotten it, anyway it was a very stupid romarlf, for what power have I to opon or close it 1 I have no desire to soo any portion of the Makora stream closed against legitimate anglers except that I have referred to and that is solely in the interests of the anglers. Tho shingle bed rivors I maintain are free, With regard to the small stpean), I hope to sea, and I feel sure that wo shrill see kindly feelipg oxist between the proprietors and the anglers, and permission to fjsli wijl be oxtered to them- Mow feeling mates ms wondrous kind," Compare our advantages with those of the Wellington, Dunedin and Christchurch anglers. A word about the boys and the 5s licenso. I think the Society havo acted wisely, I like to see the boys enjoying theinselvos. A boy who will save his money and buy a rod line and flies, or better stijl, make his rod and line and tie' his flies will never be a trouble and disgrace (oliis parents.'

I bid. &C WIHIAM H. 13EETHAM,
