TERMS, FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR, 



STRICTLY IN ADVANCE 



The FOREST AND STREAM is a paper which can 

 be read in the family. 



It can be read by the ladies and children. 



We count many principals of schools as among our 

 contributors. 



It will inculcate a love of manly sports with natur 

 alistic study, and lias for correspondents and contrib- 

 utors some of the most distinguished naturalists in the 

 United States. Where to find game in any part of the 

 United States makes it the medium of the sportsman. 



Every description of game or amusement Avhich is 

 in vogue among respectable people, and of value as a 

 health-giving recreation, is practically encouraged. 

 Nothing that demoralizes or brutalizes, nothing that is 

 regarded as "sport" by those whose instincts are but 

 a grade higher than the creatures they train to amuse 

 them, will find a place in its columns. 



Each number contains a paper descriptive of some 

 particular fish, animal, or bird. The Forest and 

 Stream can occupy a place in any gentleman or lady's 

 drawing room, and in the school room, and not be out 

 of place. 



Subscriptions will only commence from the date of 

 the receipt of the money. If subscribers desire back 

 numbers we will endeavor to send them, but do not 

 engage to. 



There never was offered a better opportunity for 



Christmas or New Year Presents.

 able to order of the Fobest and Stbeam Publishing

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



The Forest and Stream is a model of typographi- 

 cal neatness, and its contents are sufficiently varied 

 and interesting to secure for the paper a cordial recep- 

 tion from that class of the public to whose taste it ca- 

 ters.— [New York Times. 



It is a handsome sheet of sixteen large pages, and is 

 filled with a variety of very interesting reading matter. 

 —[New York Sun. 



There is need for a new advocate to make the Amer- 

 ican people more in love with outdoor life, and Forest 

 and Stream promises to do the work admirably. The 

 various departments are edited with knowledge and 

 skill. — [New York Journal of Commerce. 



It is tastefully arranged and handsomely printed, 

 and seems to be well adapted to persons of cultivated 

 tastes. — [New York Tribune.
