"KEEP HIM SWEET."
ADVICE TO SPORTSMEN.
CONSIDER THE LANDOWNER
(B.v Telearaph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, this dav
The possibility of the Government taking over the work of the acclimatisation societies, and how such a contingency would affect the relationships between sportsmen and landowners, was touched on by Dr. G. F. Anson, addressing the annual general meeting of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society. "If the Government takes over the er.ntrol of our fish and panic, our greatest danger will be eommereial'satior. of sport, said Dr. Anson. "] am periect'y certain that under Governm'nt control sportsmen would have to pay for fishing and shooting privileges. Manv people who at present throw open their [ properties to sportsmen would saw j'What'll we get for it?'"
Hence it was incumbent 011 persons to private ownership, said Dr. ; Anson. "Sportsmen should always psk permission of landowners before going | 011 their property. Call in and see the ; landowner, give him the news, leave him the paper, drop him a bird. That's one of the most important things shooting and fishing men can do—keep the j landowner sweet."
