FisH AND FIsH COMMISSIONERS. — In connection with the meetingof the State Fisheries Association here this week the semi-anuual meeting of the State Board of [Fisheries Commission was held on Tues- day. The board is composed of W. E. Meehan, fish commissioner; Henry C. Cox, of Wellshoro; John Hamberger, of ‘Erie;, Charles L. Miller, of Altoona; Andrew R. Whittaker, of Phoenixville, and Barton D. Evans, of Harrisburg, clerk. In his report to the hoard Commissioner Meehan stated that the total outpus from the five hatcheries for the six months end- ing June 1st was 145,157,918 fry. This breaks all records made by any State ex- cepting on one occasion when the year’s output was 164,000,000. But that year was an exceptionally favorable one on the lakes and the output included 102,000,000 lake fry. The first six months of this year’s output will be increased by abouts 5,000, 000 batched out after Jane 1st. Of ‘the aboye output ahout eighteen millions were purely interior water game fish, such as pickerel, brook and lake trout. Following is the kind and number of fry sent out: Blue pike, 9,450,000; _pickere],. 8,950,000; white fish, 34, ,489,000; lake herring, 22,- 840,000; Susquehanna salmon, 57,300,000; brook trou, -7,800,000; lake trout, 1,000,- 000; shad, 3,326,900; other fish, 2,018. ..In addition to the above one million trout fry bave been hatched out since June 1st and many hundred thousand tlack bass, yellow perch, frogs, sunfish, gold fish and catfish. The output’ from the different hatcheries was as follows : Erie, 124,079,000; Wayne, 10,450,000; ‘Corry, 5,000,000; Torresdale 3,326,900; Bellefonte, 0} 300, 000.“ For the first time in the history of fish oul- ture pickerel were successfully cultivated at the Wayne hatchery and the problem of frog culture successfully solved for the first time at Corry, The culture of yellow perch last year was the first practical cultivation of this fish in the United ‘States. During the past six month’s Pennsylvania's ontpus of trout fry was greater than that of the United States batcheries and, excluding New York state, the output of fish exceed: ed that of any three States in the Union, and will exceed New York's output of last year by about ten millions. OF Commissioner Meehan reported thas by autumn of this year the Bellefonte hatchery would be completed as a trout station. Thirty ponds will be built and fitty nursery troughs, making a total of abous sixty ponds and one hundred and twenty nursery troughs. A large number of trees will be planted thie fall and it is hoped to lay out the upper grounds with walks and drives. It is expected that black bass work will be begun at the Bellefonte hatchery next spring. Commissioner Meehan further stated that during the year 202 arrests were made and fines to the amonnt of over $3,000 were collected. There were 185 convictions and seventeen were discharged by justices of the peace.or connty courts. Seven of the number convicted refused to pay their fine and went to jail. Seven cases of those dis- | abarged were appealed to the Superior rt, in two of which decisions were given favor of the department, one of them or using fish baskets and the other fishing on Sunday. 2 Io view of the magnificent records made y the superintendents of the hatcheries der the direction of the Commissioner, i “board adopted a resolution directing e commissioner to express ite appreciation the splendid and intelligent services re leted by superintendents William Baler,of the Corry hatobery; AG.
