Mr Marshall secured 16, and Mr Carlton 15 fish, the heaviest weighing a little over lib.

Waiwera. — A party of Dunedin anglers paid a visit to the Waiwera and Kuriwao last week, but, owing to the very bad weather, they had but poor sport. Mr Ohisholm killed about 24 very nice fish in the Kuriwao in one day, and Mr Wilkie 17, and another gentleman who visited it a week previous killed in five days over 40 fish, several weighing over 21b.

Clinton. — The Clutha Society held a meeting on Tuesday, the 18fch of October, Mr J. Burt in the chair. It was agreed to carry on the work of the society for this season, and Messrs Wilkie and Chishlom, members ef the Otago Anglers' Association, who were present, agreed tooffer prizes forcoinpetffcion, Mr Wilkie's prize being a rod and Mr Chishlom's a silver medal. It is expected that every angler in the district will go in. I trust they will, as nothing helps to keep up the sport so much as a good healthy, anglers' club.
