COMPLIMENTS OF aiie Cuuifr Club. THE OF gi/^cinnj^t: .T^-i^^ No, 30 LONGWORTH STREET CINCINNATI, APRIL, 1899 ^» Cbe Cuvkr Club, ITS PAST AND PRESENT HISTORY. ITS AIM AND OBJECT. E learn from the min- utes of the Club that as early as 1871 a few gentlemen, fond of field sports, determined to form a sportsmen's society, whose object should be to elevate ^''"'the tone of field sport, and to enforce the game laws. They met at long inter- vals, and their meetings were of a desultory nature, but their membership in- creased. Subsequently the original idea of a sportsmen's club solely was abandoned by them, and it was resolved to enlarge their scope so as to include game preservation. Out of this resolution sprang the " Ohio State Society for the Protection of Game and Fish," for such was the title adopted by the new society. It began its Errand weak in numbers, and poor in purse. It«..fe*irly meetings were held sometimes in the law offices either of the Hon. Milton Sayler, or of Thos. A. Logan, Esq., and sometimes, by the courtesy of Sam'l P. Post, in the office of the Eagle Insurance Company. An attendance of ten or twelve was deemed a full meeting. But the purpose of the society, as indi- cated by its title, was a fixed purpose in the minds of its founders, and they determined that the society should not perish, and that it should acquire a local habitation, as well as a name. Upon their personal responsibility they rented the front room No. 200 (old number) West Fourth Street. Here they persisted in their endeavors, encouraging the old, and soliciting new members, until their enterprise seemed placed on a permanent basis. It was then resolved to rent additional rooms, and this was done once more upon the per- sonal responsibility of a few, for the pecuniary liability. The last regular meeting in the front room, was upon February 5, 1874. The name of the society had proved too cumbersome, and it was then changed to The Cuvier Club. STEADY GROWTH OF .ORGAmZATION l^ ^,j^^-t^ Throughout the year 1874, there was gradual progress. Upon January 1, 1875, the Club issued its invitations to the citizens at large, and received the calls of about five hundred visitors. The effect of this open display was most beneficial. Those who never before had dreamed of the existence of the Club, or of such a collection (which by this time had been increased by the Florida collection, and by private donations,) became warmly interested. New members gladly joined, and the treasury be- gan to assume healthful proportions. January 1, 1875, may be called the birthday of The Cuvier Club, and should always hereafter be celebrated as such. During 1875 the Club grew rapidly in numbers, in importance, in influence, and in public regard. Had grown so rapidly in membership, influence and flnances, that it was resolved at a special meet- 1 '^_ ing that a spacious lot, centrally lo- cated, be secured and a suitable building for the popular organization erected thereon. This was all accomplished within one year from the date of the resolution, and the first meeting was held in the new Club House January 14th, 1882. This edifice with its magnificent Museum has always been the pride of the city, and is now considered a public necessity, as much so as the Zoological Garden, for it is always open to the visiting strangers and others, without cost. The first banquet, we will here state en passant, THE \V NEW BUILDING that was given in the Cuvier's grand quarters, was attended by over fifteen hundred gentlemen and ladies, which embraced the very elite of the city and was declared the most sumptuous affair ever given by any home organization. Not withstanding the amplitude of the new building, which embraces large and convenient rooms and galleries for Museum, Banquet, Library, Reception and other purposes, it is now considered entirely too small. The Museum is now deficient in wall and shelf room for their already large col- lection of birds from every zone, and fishes from every quarter and other natural objects. The Banquet-room also lacks space for the seating of the members and their guests on the occasion of their usual " annuals," and it therefore looks as if the organization stood in need of a more spacious building, which will doubtless be realized in the near future with the greater growth of our enter- prising city. ■"4^ Jrs C/f£/i/SH£P ^.. OBJ£Cr The object of the Club is to preserve, protect and increase the game and fishes of Ohio, to enforce the laws concerning them, to promote and advance field sports and to create a meritorious Museum for the benefit of the public and public schools, and also to give our support looking to the protection of our grand and too rapidly disappearing forests. That the Society has not been recreant in the trust reposed in it by our citizens, we will here simply remark that there has scarcely been a hotel, restaurant, or game dealer in the city but what has been arrested and made to pay the pen- alty for violation of the game law. Even during the present season of a few months, over a dozen violators have already been made to feel the vigil- ance of this organization. In this respect the Cuviers have much to con- tend with, owing to the numerous cold storage houses that exist here and everywhere throughout the length and breadth of this fair land. In their frosty chambers are concealed tons of illegal game, which as the laws now exist make it almost impos- sible to discover and capture. Every now and then, despite these obstacles, we arrest and have fined some of these illegal game dealers that there keep their piratical products. Had the search warrant law, which the Cuviers had prepared and which was presented to the last Legislature, been enacted, there would have been no frozen game to sell sub rosa. As per example by way of positive illustration, we will regretfully state that at a mieeting of Fish and Game Commissioners of various states, held in Chicago in February, 1898, one of the Commis- sioners, Mr. Bortree, cited the Kenena case, where 27,000 head of game was uncovered (and covered up again) in a freezer. Mr. Werner, the steward of a large restaurant in Chicago, said at the same meeting : "I can show you a thousand saddles of venison in cold storage here to-day. I know how that goes, for I have bought game enough in my time. I have had quail offered to me at sixty-five cents per dozen, and prairie chicken at one dollar a dozen. The market was then terribly glutted and the game sadly deteriorated in the course of time ; in fact it was not fit to eat after it had lain so long in the frosty atmosphere ; it was almost as poisonous as the bite of an asp." So say all pro- fessionals who have made earnest and thorough study of game refrigeration. I might fill pages with examples of the same kind, but the above is enough to convince anyone, I hope, that the cold storage houses are knocking out our game at the rapid rate of 5 per cent, or more a year, and is one of the most conclusive methods of assisting in its utter extermination. Again the insatiate greed of some pot-hunters, who fraudulently pose as sportsmen, kills many thousands of delicious birds for refrigeration and solely to use after open season has closed. This but adds to the decrease and notably so. This is not alone true of the birds, but also of every living thing that builds, or burrows in our woods or streams or fields. The spirit of wanton destruction that has exterminated the buffalo is at work in every state and county in America. Fish are caught out of season, nets are used when rod and line alone should be permitted, trapping goes on regardless of the times for mating and rearing of young birds and animals. This will doubtless continue till the fowl with the golden egg is killed, if this warfare is not soon checked. Cbe Social features of the Club. i---^ p- A subject infinitely more pleasurable to discuss than wanton destruction, is the social organization of this Club, which is of such high character and excellence as to commend itself to every respectable member of the community. While it opens up a pleasant place of resort for the members, it has studiously been kept free from all that can be objectionable to any, with no bar or restaurant attached, no card playing for any kind of stakes, nothing that demands any expenditure of money beyond the nominal annual dues of $10.00, so that a person in most moderate circumstances can enjoy its privileges and feel on a level with the wealthiest. The most prominent feature in its social life is its annual banquet, which in its gastronomic specialty, is acknowledged by the daintiest epicures and most notable chefs to be the most recherche game dinner that could be perfected. A prince of the realm, to put it more boldly, would feel himself honored as a guest at one of these elegant feasts. To see social life as it daily exists in this famous Club, is to view and adrhire a picture of pure delight. Here you observe, as you pass its portals of unmeas- ured pleasure, some of our most prominent citizens engaged in solving many of the perplexing prob- lems of chess, others absorbed in the deep subtleties of fascinating whist, while still others are infinitely diverting themselves in games less taxing to the intellect. A casual glance at the "Turn-Over Corner" reveals a coterie of accomplished sports- men in that mirthful precinct, many of whom have locks as white as the driven snow. They are ever busy reeling off romance and reality. Cbe Club museum.

'§h4^ The Ubrary': The Library is a very rare collection of stan- dard works on Natural History and field sports, and contains many valuable books that are not else- where to be found in the city. There are among them a few musty tomes over two hundred years old, but the majority of the volumes are more modern, embracing many in narrative and all that is of interest in Ornithology and Ichthyology. The sportsman and the lover of nature will here find much to delight and interest them. The grand and stately building which we occupy is owned by us without a dollar of encumbrance, its total cost, including the lot, was over forty thousand dollars, and it is an exceedingly ornate and magnificent piece of architecture. Unmistak- able research shows that it is the only building in the United States, and the only building of which we know ever erected in any place, which was built only for the purposes of and exclusively by the advocates of fish and game protection. It stands to-day alone in the world ' as the product of that sentiment. It is dedicated to that principle. It is the palpable embodiment of that philanthrophy. May the example ever spread and its influence ever expand. We will not enter into further description con- cerning this magnificent edifice, as it would take too much space to speak of its numerous advan- tages and elaborate appointments. And then we desire to say a few words, parenthetically, in favor of our songbirds. We therefore ask, who is there that has ever trodden the well-worn paths of the orchard, the field, the forest, and listened to the blue bird as he wooes his mate with a loving warble, or the hermit thrush as he floods the air with his celestial notes, or the robin as he swells his ruddy throat in a continuous roundelay of song, and has not felt that the strong arm of the law should more energetically protect them than it does now? These children of the air would fain have you for their guardian. They appeal to you from every forest and field, from every mead and meadow, from every lawn and park — in fact, from every place where they abide under the bright, blue sky and blazing sun — that their direful slaughter should cease with- out delay. Our enthusiasm prompts us to declare that the slaughter must cease, for it is akin to taking the the very essence of life and melody from our floral friends and lovely lawns. No landscape, no matter how beautiful, is complete until it is peo- pled with these divine songsters of the grove, that flit from branch to branch, and flower to flower, with the sparkle of the stars and the glitter of gold reflected from their exquisite plumage. We merely mention this in order that you may at once see what an extensive field in protection we cover, and if you are a suburbanite, or a lover of nature and accustomed to the concerts of these woodland warblers, when the meadow lilies are blooming and the daisies and red clover are tossing in zephyr breezes, you will realize one of the bene- ficent efforts of the Club, and must assuredly say, God speed it in its good work. Hstounding Decrease in Bird Eife. As we look at the lovely birds cradled among the hawthorn buds, searching for aphidx amongst apple blossoms and drinking dew from the lily, we are saddened by realizing the astounding decrease in bird life that now prevails. It is manifest evi- dence that socie'ie 3 like the Cuvier or the Audubon, should be scattered over the entire country and that energetic protection should be given these innocent children of the air. Read the annexed list of the per cent, of decrease in bird life and you will be convinced that like the fishes of the deep they are worthy our loyal guardianship. Per Cent, of Decrease : Per Cent.

This, of course, refers to the whole volume of bird life, and to the loss it has suffered during the last fifteen years. At the present rate of destruction, another fifteen years will witness the complete annihilation from that area of practically all birds, save the small and insignificent warblers and sparrows. The decrease in game birds is fully 75 per cent. A few more years, if the present ratio of slaughter is kept up, will see them com- pletely wiped out. Three States, North Carolina, Oregon and California, show a stationary condition of bird life, /. e., as many birds as fifteen years ago. Four States show an increase in bird life ; these are Kansas, Wyoming, Utah and Washington — in the last named due to clearing away of the dense and dark coniferous forests that hitherto have been almost untenable to insectivorous birds. Kansas appears to be the banner State for bird protection, due to her admirable law against the sale and shipment of game. ;^^'^ \^M \ -#f)^ pf'"^' ■ / >e^ -?>^ Articles of Tncorporation.
