 In connection with the annual meeting of the Connecticut AssoCIa- ton Of Fish and Game clubs in Meriden on January g, the New Britain Fish and Game club at its regular monthly meeting held last night in O. |. A. N. hall on Glen street, voted 10 send Hugo \. John son, president oL the club, as an official delegate, with sherman Avery as alternate, and Jack Peter son. John Fritz and Oscar krause as unofficial observers,
 The reason for sending five per sons to represent the New Britain cIuo was 10 be prepared 10 have enough members present to select delegates who may represent the club ln a new organlzatIon which may be formed at thg annual meet ing. It Will probably be known as 1he Central Connecticut Sportsmen's association. A communication was sent 10 every fish and game, or allied sportsmen's organization between New Haven and WIusred, and Waterbury and Hartford, suggesting the formation or such an organlza- Lion. The letter was Us follows:
 some time ago you received q let ter from Us relative to the torma- tion ot a Central Connecticut sports mons association, to which you re- piled favoraplE.
 We have not -ono ahead with this idea here excepting that d coH-- rittee has called on various clubs. We have come 10 tE. conclusion that for Us 10 attemp, 10 make the rounds oi tho various clubs through ont the state would make our att tempt for the adoption Of better lag jsIa;ion 100 late for the incoming legislature to act upon,
 As | member Of th- Connecticut EDortsn!eu.s association, you will re- c.lve shortly notice Of the annua' meeting 10 be hsli in January II lielrdau, While we may profit by ,ha formation ot tho suggested or can.zauou. it would also probably l.. 10 our advantage 10 ,nHven the present organization which has tune tIoug1 for some time. Possibly the rrrsen. orgauiza-lon would ti our reaulrcmeuts with 4 lew changes ln the bylaws.
 we believe you will agree that t11s association sloul meet more than onc, d year. possibly quarter 1v 10 discuss problems of interest and 10 yXc--rEe ideas, etc., 10 our mutual advantage. N also believe that the legislative committee o- thls association should keep i'll touch with the member asso-lauons on proposed pills and existing bills con- slderad objectionable. Thls would allow for concerted action. not only on lagis)atou. but OH other topes cn which concerted action Is nec-s- salN.
 We believe that o delegate should represent d spacInc number O. members. say 5o. and the u"iu- L4rship Of an association 50 repre- scented that th-i. vote counts by ths number 0. members enrolled.
 We request that you take this matter up with yOur directors or members and come to Mcr1en with constructive ideas for inc mutual benefit oC all ol us and 10 submit sugcesuons which w- can act upon
 "Your response to this letter stating your views would be aQpre- uIato4,"
