Yeo and Dr Howden; secretary and treasurer, Mr D. G. Rowe. The committee reported that a good deal of money was expended on trout and which have been liberated in parts of the club's territory, will be cbsed against all ar.d fishing until further notice. / The cluo also held a shooting match on the 27th February, when Mr T. Hair distinguished himself by bringing down twelve birds with twelve shots, having no occasion to use the left until the unlucky thirteenth bird rose. Taking everything into consideration the club had a very successful year, what with tne outlay on game and shortage of birds which hindered shooting for several months, but there is every prospect of a better time this coming year, as a good supply of birds has arrived.
