GAME AND FISH RESORTS. 



Defiance County — 



Rabbits are abundant, and of good quality tliroughout the county. Stop at 

 any of the stations on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio, or the Toledo, Wabash 

 and Western Railroads. 



Delaware Count//— 



Lewis Center. Quail and turkeys. Reached via the Cleveland, Columbus, 

 Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railroad, sixteen miles trom Columbus. No hotels, 

 though board can be obtained in the village. 



.Erie County— 



Sandusky. Good duck shooting on the marshes. Reached via the Lake Shore 

 and Michigan Southern, the Baltimore and Ohio, or the Cincinnati, Sandusky and 

 Cleveland Railroad. 



Kelley's Island, in Lake Erie, is the headquarters for black bass anglers, from 

 Cincinnati, Covington, Pittsburg, Columbus and Cleveland, and may be reached 

 by boat from Sandusky or Cleveland. Hotel accommodations at Jacob Rush's 

 house, $2 per day. 



Put-in-Bay and Point au Pelee Islands, are also favorite resorts. Point au 

 Pelee, about twenty-five miles from Sandusky, and just across Uncle Sam's 

 boundary, is a locality that cannot be excelled for its black bass fishing. It is 

 accessible easily from Buffalo, Cleveland and Sandusky. Hotel accommoda- 

 tion is poor, but the camping ground is superb. Minnows are used for bait, and 

 the bass are not known to take the fiy except by trolling. If desired, splendid 

 accommodations can be had at Put-in-Bay, fourteen miles distant, and a steam 

 tug will take you to and from the tishing ground each day. We are rather in- 

 clined to recommend this place to the luxurious angler who does not care to rough 

 it in the bush, for superior tishing is rarely found in connection with the comforts 

 of civilization. Moreover, splendid duck shooting can be enjoyed here in the fall. 

 as there are about ttve thousand acres of marsh land covered with wild rice, upon 

 which the mallard feed, and any bungler can bag from ten to twenty of an after- 

 noon. There is also fox hunting, if the sportsman will only bring his hounds, 

 for the island is full of red foxes. The best time for an excursion is the middle 

 of the months of May and September. Taken all in all, the Point au Pelee is 

 exceptionally attractive. The South Side Dock is the best place to go to ; better 

 accommodations, but you have to fish in boats. The best point to obtain men is 

 at Put-in-Bay. West Dock is the best part for ducking and fishing combined, as 

 you are near the marsh. For information, address Robert McCormick, Kings- 

 ville, Ontario, Canada, the nearest post office for South Side ; Walter Grubb, or 

 Dr. McCormick, Kelley's Island, Ohio.
