Business Meeting Fish and Game League,
Number of Deer Killed.

Number of Deer Killed.
The regular business meeting of the
Vermont Fish and Game League was
| held in Burlington Wednesday afternoon
with about 80 members in attendance
About dozen names were dropped from
| the list of members at the request of the
owners, and about the same number oil
new ones added. The report of the treas
urer showed that there is at present no
money in the treasury, as the last ban
quet at the Hotel Champlain did not pay
expenditures, and an overdraft of SOS
| has been drawn on another fund which is
kept for cases of emergency. State Fish
and Game Commissioner H. G. Thomas,
OF Stowe, reported that he has three
clerks at work upon the reports of the
various game wardens throughout the
State and it will be several weeks before
he will be able to make a complete report
OF deer killed during the past hunting sea-
son, but he has received reports from the
county of Bennington with the exception
OF three towns. There were 235 deer
killed in this county outside the three
| towns mentioned. The total number
| killed throughout the State will be about
| 400, so he stated, about double the
number shot last year. About equal
numbers of doe and buck have been shot.
The election of officers for the coming
year resulted as follows: President,
Maxwell Evarts of Windsor; secretary.
