country are members of the association. 
John Avery, Esq., 37 Park Row, New 
York, is secretary, } 
Kimble’s, eleven miles from Lackawax- 
en, is in the midst of trout streams, bass 
lakes, and game preserves. Here some 
of the most noted disciples of Nimrod 
and Walton make their home, and find 
rare sport in the woods and among the 
mountains. 
Hawley is one hundred and twenty- 
five miles from New York, and all around 
it the sportsman will find the finest of 
lakes and noted game haunts. It is lo- 
cated in the centre of the great Paupack 
game region, famous for deer, bears, and 
all kinds of small game. ‘Trout streams 
flow in every direction. The Wallen- 
paupack River and its many tributaries 
afford excellent sport. The headwaters 
of this stream interlock those of the Le- 
high, far back in the Pocono Wilderness, 
and enters the Lackawaxen at Hawley. 
About a mile and a half from Hawley a 
series of the most magnificent waterfalls 
commences. The first plunge of the wa- 
ter is over a precipice seventy-five feet, 
and from there on to the last fall, a half 
mile above the mouth of the stream, the 
descent is two hundred and fifty feet. 
The grand fall, a portion of it discerna- 
ble from the railroad, but mostly hidden 
by acluster of mills and factories, is about 
eighty feet high and fifty in width, the 
ledge over which it thunders having been 
worn in horseshoe form. Lakes teeming 
with black bags, pike, pickerel, and other 
species of the finny tribe are of easy ac- 
cess from the village. Lake Jones, one 
of the greatest black bass lakes of this 
whole section, is six miles from Hawley, 
over a splendid road. By alighting at 
the upper depot, passengers find them- 
selves near the Keystone House, a well- 
kept hotel, where accommodations can 
be had at a moderate consideration, and 
where guides for either hunting or fish- 
ing are provided. 
Honesdale is one hundred and thirty- 
five miles from New York, in the most 
interesting part of Northeastern Penn- 
sylvania. There is not a prettier place 
in the country than this retreat among 
the hills. It is the centre of one of the 
finest bass-fishing regions in the country. 
There are one hundred and fifty-four na- 
tural Jakes in Wayne county, and the 
best of them are in the neighborhood of 
Honesdale. 
pounds were taken from some these lakes 
last season. There is trout-fishing on the 
upper and 
Dyberry. All kinds of game abound in 
the vicinity. White’s Hollow, thirteen 
miles distant, is a noted hunting-ground, 
abounding in ruffed grouse, quail, squir- 
rels, rabbits, and a small sprinkling of 
large game; panthers are occasionally 
seen, and bear ‘‘disputes” are not un- 
common. Two miles and a half from 
Honesdale, on Dyberry Creek, is Martin 
Kimble’s old-time homestead, where ex- 
cellent accommodations can be had at a 
very low figure, and where fine shooting 
and fishing is near at hand, There are 
several excellent hotels and boarding- 
houses in the neighborhood. 
The Newburgh Short Cut (a branch 
of the Erie, which leaves the main line a 
mile east of Turner’s) opens up a section 
of country that is wonderful in many re- 
spects. No locality in the State possesses 
a more varied physical structure, its sys- 
tem of lakes, mountains, valleys, and 
streams being one peculiar in itself, 
Central Valley, forty-cight miles from 
New York, occupies one of the fair- 
ast sites that widen from the bases of the 
surrounding hills. Within a radius three 
miles of the village there are no less than 
Black bass weighing five 
waters of the Lackawaxen
