MEETING OF FISH AND GAME LEAGUE
To BE Held at Isle La Motto Aug. IBIS
tingulshed Guests to he Present.

The midsummer meeting OF the Vermont
Fish and Game league to be held at Isle
La Motto Aug. l. mention of which has
been made i'm our columns promises to be
the most successful ana most largely at
tended of any meeting of the league yet
held. The annual meetings of the league
occur in November. but it was thought
best, AS not a few Of the members are in
the State during tn" summer only, TO holp
a midsummer NEE ting, which should be
largely of n social nature, 1t is probable
that the only business done will be the
voting in of new members.
Invitations have been issued and many
acceptanCes have already been received.
Among those who have announced their
intention to be present are ex-senator
E1munds, Senator Proctor, Congressman
Grout and Powers. Gov Woodbury., eX-
Cows. Page, Stewart and Dillingham;. 1t
is hoped that Senator Morrill, and Col.
Marshall Mcdonald the United States
fish commissioner, will be present.
The steamer Reindeer has been charter
ed to take members Of the league, branch
clubs, and their guests to the island and
return. The boat will leave its wharf in
Burlington. upon arrival of noon trains
from Rutland. Montpelier St. Adams,
and the Lamoile road. We believe this
will give all members a chance to catch
the boat by taking the train on the morn
ing of the meeting, except few living at
remote distances. The boat will stop at
Fisk's dock, and the meeting and dinner
will be served on Mr. Fisk's lawn. Ar
engagements have been made for shelter
in case OF rain, in large tents. An oppor-
tunity will be gwen to ramble about the
island boat or FISH. during the afternoon.
Dinner will be served about 2:30 and Lake
Champlain fish chowder will be a part OF
the menu. Round trip on the boat from
Burlington and return, including dinner
are 1850. Tickets obtainable on the boat
Excursion rates on all railroads, good
going to Burlington July 81 and Aug l, and
returning from Burlington Aug. l and 2
The steamer Will leave the island in the
evening in time to arrive in Burlington for
the late evening trains. After dinner
speeches will be dispensed with except for
distinguished guests or at the request of
those present The excursion will be
through a portion of the most beautiful
scenery on Lake Champlain and the oc-
CASTOR promises to be most delightful
one.
The membership of the league is steadily
increasing, and numbers at present, in
Guiding members of branch CLUBS about
$50.
