Abstract
AT last the great International Fisheries Exhibition, to be held in London, and to which we have occasionally referred during the past few months, has taken definite shape. The influential meeting which was held on Monday under the presidency of the Prince of Wales, gives promise that the Exhibition will be one of the most interesting and practically important which have been held in the country. The Berlin exhibition last year was a brilliant success, and the Norwich Exhibition of last spring did much good. Her Majesty the Queen has bestowed her name as patron on the proposed Exhibition; the Prince of Wales is president, and on the long list of Vice-presidents are many nobles, politicians of both parties, well-known representatives of science, and men eminent in various departments. Of the General Committee, the Duke of Richmond is Chairman, and on it are such names as those of Prof. Huxley, Mr. Spencer Walpole, Mr. Francis Francis; while among the Vice-presidents are the names of Mr. W. Spottiswoode, P.R.S., Dr. Günther, Sir John Lubbock, Mr. Mundella. Thus it will be seen that science is amply represented, and especially the science of the subject; and it is fortunate that we have at present as one of H.M. Inspectors of Fisheries so eminent a representative of science as Prof. Huxley.
