DEAR SIB, "The trial reel you sent me in the spring has 

 done its work splendidly, and given me uninterrupted 

 satisfaction the simplicity of its construction, and its 

 ventilating powers, place it far beyond any other reel I 

 have ever used, while the advantage of being able to take 

 it to pieces in a few secon is, without the aid of any 

 mechanical appliances, is untold. -Yonr^trul^, Ki ^ v 



OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE CLUB, PALL MALL. 

 DEAR SIR," I have found the Moscrop Heel satisfactory 

 In every way. The check on my particular reel IB a trifle 

 easy for the large trout in Hampshire, but the adjustable 

 drug obviates this."-Yours faithfull

DEAR MOSCROP, * By the way. anent the winch I. 

 until', were trolling in the pass (Brander) deep down 10 to 

 12 feet chance for a ferox 60 yards of line out, there was 

 a stiff westerly, and when we neared the open the boat 

 began to pitch and the winches to click at each lurch, a 

 turn at the adjustable drag set mine right but P. had to 

 haul in to lessen the pull. You ought to impress on every- 

 body to clean and oil two or three times a season, it does 

 not take a minute and the winch is very grateful. It won't 

 do for spinning, it is not in it with Mullock *, but for fly, I 

 like it better than any I nave, and I could set up a shop."
