and Virginia, assuring the protection of the
Potomac bass during the spawning season,
and a discontinuance of the destructive
means OF catching the fish at any time,
formerly in vogue, such as trot lines, seines
and so forth.
The executive committee OF the associa
ton has laid out a great deal of work of al

seining the canal, so auspiciously begun last

sttution Of the association were also organ
lied.

Richard Sylvester, chairman; United States
Fish Commissioner John j. Price, Mr.. H.

mittee on laws to draw up a measure which
will cover all the necessities for the proper
protection Of game and fish in the District
and make it conform regarding seasons and
in other respects with the laws of Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia.
