The object of this journal will be to studiously pro- 

 mote a healthful interest in outdoor recreation, and to 

 cultivate a refined taste for natural objects. We es- 

 pecially desire to make the Forest and Stream the 

 recognised medium of communication between ama- 

 teurs and professional sportsmen. All of ns have 

 something to impart, whic£ if made available to each 

 other, will in time render ns proficient in all those 

 several branches of physical culture which are absolute- 

 ly essential to our manhood and well-being, both as in- 

 dividual men and as a nation. A practical knowledge 

 of natural history must of necessity underlie all at- 

 tainments which combine to make a thorough sports- 

 man. It is not sufficient that a man should be able 

 to knock over his birds dexterously right and left, or 

 cast an inimitable fly. He must learn by study and 

 experience the haunts and habits of the game or fish 

 he seeks. If he depend altogether upon his dog's 

 nose, or upon his henchmen, he will some clay have 

 to retire from the field in mortification and dis- 

 grace. Therefore it is that we shall study to give 

 practical instruction in the most attractive depart- 

 ments of natural history. We shall not forget the 

 technicalities of the craft either, but take pleasure in 

 designating the best localities for hunting and fishing, 

 outfits, implements, remedies, routes, distances, breeds 

 of dogs, &c. Each number will contain a paper de- 

 scriptive of a particular animal, bird, or fish, with some 

 instruction as to its habits, haunts and mode of cap- 

 ture, and the period when it is in season. We have 

 arranged to receive regular weekly reports of the fish- 

 ing and shooting m various parts of the country. 



Yachting and boating will be encouraged, and yacht 

 news be made an especial feature of the paper. A 

 reasonable space will be given to athletic sports and 

 those out-door games in which ladies can participate. 

 In a word, every description of game that is in vogue 

 among respectable people, and of value as a health- 

 giving agent or recreative amusement, will be consid- 

 ered and its practice encouraged. Nothing that de- 

 moralizes or brutalizes, nothing that is regarded as 

 11 sport" by that low order of beings who, in their in- 

 stincts are but a grade higher than the creatures they 

 train to amuse them, will find favor in these columns. 



To horse news we shah devote some space, giving a 

 record of leading races and meetings and current 

 events, but we shall not make it a feature of this jour- 

 nal. We leave this department to others, much more 

 competent than ourselves, who are recognised through- 

 out the country as exponents of the turf, and as au- 

 thority in stock, pedigree and kind. We yield to no 

 one, however, in our love and appreciation of the horse 

 and his estimable qualities. The noblest of all ani- 

 mals, and the companion alike of men of high and 

 1 ow degree, he has never become contaminated by the 

 moral atmosphere by which he is often surrounded, or 

 degraded below the high rank to which his attributes 

 entitle and assign him. 



To the forest, lawn and garden we assign full place. 

 For the preservation of our rapidly diminishing for- 

 ests we shall continually do battle. Our great inter- 

 ests are in jeopardy— even our supply of drinking wa- 

 ter is threatened, from the depletion of our timber- 

 lands by fire and axe. It is but proper to state here 

 that the gentleman in charge of this department is 

 the well-known " Olipod Quill," who was connected 

 with the Agriculturist newspaper from the start, and a 

 co-laborer with the lamented Downing for many years. 

 Much valuable information will be found in this de- 

 partment. 



Our military department is intended to comprise 

 merely a weekly summary of news for officers and 

 soldiers upon the frontier— such news as the casta- 

 ways would enjoy to receive in a " letter from home;" 

 and we trust that many of them will be inclined to 

 send us in return some account of their hairbreadth 

 experiences among the Indians, the buffaloes, the griz- 

 zlies and the antelopes. We of the East are not 

 thoroughly familiar with the varied species of game 

 i n the far Northwest, and w r ould like to receive full 

 information especially of the numerous Cervus family 

 and of the Rocky Mountain sheep. This department 

 is under the charge of a distinguished army officer. 



Our dramatic and art column will be prepared by 

 Colonel T. B. Thorpe, and must at once become popu- 

 lar with all our readers who are interested in these 

 matters. We shall occupy an independent position, 

 and throw our oflorts in behalf of competent reform. 

 We shall perhaps even clamor for it. 



Our columns will always contain the cream of the 

 latest foreign sporting news. 



In a word, we are prepared to print a live paper and 

 a useful one. We shall not be parsimonious in secur- 

 ing the best material for its columns. We are con- 

 vinced that there is a standard of eminence and useful- 

 ness not yet fully attained by any sporting journals 

 in this country. To tliis we aspire. It will be our am- 

 bition to excel; and we have relinquished a life of ease 

 and semi -indolence to take charge of the enterprise. 

 This not of our own free choice, but at the solicitation 

 of many hundreds of friends and strangers. We are 

 ably assisted in our labors by a corps of valuable as- 

 sociates—men of age and experience, all of whom, with 



single exception, have been identified with leading 

 journals for years.
