Mr Hodgson said the creek flowing tlnough his land was, from what lie knew of the Cumberland stream^, admirably adapted for trout. — Some discussion followed, the opinion of the boaid being that while it was d'Wi.ibli 1 to Ktock a-, many streams as possible, it v. as hardly fail that the board should be at the expense and trouble of hatching for other public bodies to reap the benefit. The Secretary .said he had about !)00 young fiVh o.i hand, 100 of which he intended t-> keep in a pond until they wine about a year old, and bettur able to take care of themselves t lan they were at prurient.
