Sixty Thousand More Fry Ar
rived Yesterday
STILL MORE ARE COMING
Bennington Fish and Game Club I
Making Systematic Progress In
improving the Fishing.


Game Club Friday afternoon received
another consignment of trout fry
from the state hatchery at Roxbury,
mostly upon applications filed out
and forwarded TO the state fish and
game commission last year
Realizing that only passable results
could be obtained from the planting
of fry while the streams are in their
present swollen condition the club
had previously arranged for the care
Of the fry in a number of minnow
tanks owned by local pickerel fisher
men.
When the fry arrived they were
taken to the tanks and there released
from the cans. The little fish were
then fed according to instructions
from the messenger who accompanied
the shipment from the hatchery.
They will be cared for until the water
of the brooks is in proper condition
for planting when they will be dis
tributed.
The consignment received Friday
was upon the following applications:
Jos. NJ. Ayres, Chase Brook. No 2,

diton this morning
The directors OF the Bennington
County Fish and Game club and the
interested sportsmen are making fine
progress in their campaign for the
stocking of the streams of the cOun
ty The waters in The immediat,
vicinity have been apportioned
among the local fishermen so that
applications TO cover every stream
have been filed either with the bur
eau of fisheries at Washington oil
with the state commissioner. The
scheme will be extended, IL the plans
of the club are carried out, so as IA
comprise every available stream in
the county. In apportloning the
streams maps are used so that a rec
ord can be kept Of the work for fu
ture reference. Mr.. Hubbard. who
came here from the state hatchery
with the fry, said that the clubs
plans were the most systematic yet
arranged in any county in the state
The arrangement for caring for IN,
fry received Friday are only temper
airy. but the club has in view plar
to put in something in the nature Of
an Independent sub station her,
where fry can be kept until they hav,
grown at least part way toward III,
lingering stage and are therefore II
better shape to survive after bein,
placed In the water. The officials ii
charge OF the hatchery are confident
that the fry, II planted at the present
time, will endure the high water con
ditions much better than Is generally
. supposed by fishermen. In n letter
received by President Nichols from
RoXbury Superintendent Dunsmor,
states that II is the habit of the fry
r when planted to at once seek N,
small eddies and shallow water fol
self protection. The superintendent
states that the trout hatched In tn,
streams are In the same period o.
growth.
Two shipments recently received
from Roxbury were made at thii
} season because the hatchery has m
! oversupply OF fry and the supcrin
. tendent was Of the opinion that IN,
! fish would do better In the streams In
! the southern portion OF the state
