WOMEN ANGLERS
An Increasing Number THIS YEAR’S LICENSES No sport is now wholly reserved for the masculine sex. Women have invaded the cricket, football, hockey, and athletic fields, they even box in America and the Continent, stalk deer in Scotland and New Zealand, and fly to the uttermost ends of the earth. Women anglers are coming along in increasing numbers each year, according to Mr. C. I. Dasent, the secretary of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society. Ten years ago only twenty licenses were issued to women. Last year 92 license-holders were women, and so far this season 11licenses have been taken out by the fair yex. Up to date some 1650 licenses have been issued this season in the Wellington district, and Mr. Dasent estimates that the number will increase to 2000 before the end of the season.
