THAMES ANGLING PRESERVATION SOCIETY.

The annual general meeting of the members of
this society was held. yesterday in Fresatesonehani Groat
Quem.street, Lincoln a-me-SMM. The chair wee taken by
Mr. W. H. Whitbread. The report stated that the
committee bad occasion to rejoice at the continued results
of their exertions to stock the noble river with fish. Every
means had been adopted to carry into effect the process of
"fish culture." Through the kindness and liberality of
Mr. 0. Ponder, a moat valuable arid complete breeding
apparatus had beau erected at a oossideraLle outlay in his
conservatory, and on a principle which has been acknow-
ledged by some of the most practical men of the present
day to be one el the best now in OW in this country.. This
apparatus meosedelly hatched about 3,000 salmon n the
month of January last, but aa they were removed in the
boxes in the grounds of .11r. F. Kent previous to
the unexpected floods in April Let, some loss was
necoesarily occasioned by their being so long under
water. The boxes also contained about 25,000 trout ova,
mostly in life, and in a vigorous condition. Of course the
introduction of salmon into the Thames is very problematical
sa b he ultimate results, as it wee yet to be found whether
they will be able to go down through the pool of Leaden
and ietern into their breeding beds, which may be effected
at least when the main drainage works are complete, and
the water by that seem brought more to its oA&al
parity. The committee are now applying the proems of
artificial breeding for grayling for the Thames. During the
past year 113 braes al Most have bees put into •11601111
parts of the river. That the Thames is fully adapted for
trout has been satisfactorily pterredL Constant watchful-
ness had been necessary to check an extensive system of
weehing. The trout systems but year was very swicessfel.
The iniusial ratios of the society is still of es essosrag-
isg character, but from the special donations which were
