FOR TOWN AND COUNTRY. 



The year now drawing to a close has been with the Forest and Stream one of most 

 gratifying progress. Early in the year by an important mechanical Improvement, the 

 typographical beauty of the paper was greatly enhanced; and in August, with the beginning 



of the tenth year of publication, it was permanently eularged to twenty-eight pages. There 

 has been an eq al growth in other important respects. The patronage accorded to this 

 journal by the intelligent reading public has never been more cordial than it is at the present 

 time. Sustained thus heartily, the publishers are prepared to maiutain in 1883 the Forest 

 and Stream prestige as the 



Representative Field Journal 



of this country, at once entertaining, useful and influential. As the exponent of the 

 highest types of field-sportsmanship the paper will be adapted to the tastes of all men who 

 use the rod and gun as means of pleasure and recreation. Broad in its sympathy with all 

 that is legitimate in field sports, free from any entangling alliances with cliques, having no 

 interests to serve save those of its constituents, and never hesitating in its criticisms of 

 whatever may be inimical to these interests, the Forest and Stream's highest ambition 

 will be to preserve in the future the approval won by its course in the past. It will persist 

 in its efforts to awaken in the public mind a fuller appreciation of the importance of the 

 proper protection of game in the breeding season, and of due moderation in the destruction 

 of game at other times. This it considers a matter of prime importance, not so much to the 

 man whose wealth and leisure enable him to make extended tours to favored game countries, 

 as it is to that already very large and constantly increasing class of business and professional 

 men, whose favorite relaxation from the routine of employment is found in biief vacation 

 trips to the woods and fields and brooksides. 



The enlarged form of the Forest and Stream enables its editors to present each week 

 in the several departments a large and varied supply of reading. In the columns of 



The Sportsman Tourist 



Will be found sketches of travel and sport. Coming from many different writers, and 

 widely separate parts of the country, theaesketches always have the charm of novelty, and 

 they are sure to be read with interest by sportsmen, because their writers see things through 

 sportsmen's eyes, and describe them from the sportsman's standpoint. 



Natural History. 



This department will not deal with fossils nor with the monsters of African jungles. 

 Quite on the contrary, it will treat of the animal life of land and water in our own country, 

 the habits and ways of American fur, fin and feather, in which American sportsmen are 

 presumed to take an intelligent interest. 



Game Bag and Gun. 



In addition to the numerous accounts of hunting and shooting excursions, necessarily 

 varied and interesting— 03 such accounts must need be— these columns will be found of 

 special value to amateur and veteran alike, because of the frequent interchanges of experi- 

 ence in all matters jiertaiuing to game and shooting. 



Sea and River Fishing. 



The angler willfind in the pages of the Forest and Stream the best angling literature 

 of the day, in quantity more than is contained in all other publications put together. This 

 journal has inaugurated a series of angling tournaments, the initial meeting having been held 

 in the Central Park of this city; and it is believed that others of equal success will follow in 

 other years. Meanwhile, the man who loves to go a-fishiug may find in the Forest and 

 Stream all the year around a great deal that must be to his liking. 



Fishculture. 



The columns devoted to this important subject furnish a complete : 

 achievements and progress in this important work. 



The Kennel. 



This department has won the confidence of dog owners. Its reports of field trials, bench 

 shows and other events are recognized as impartial, honest, and the most able published. 

 The recent series of papers by its editor, entitled "Training vs. Breaking," have been pub- 

 lished in book form, and have had a very large sale. Other papers of equal importance will 

 be published from time to time. 



Yachting and Canoeing. 



The editor of this department being a practical naval architect, and thoroughly familiar 

 with every branch of the subject, will continue the same intelligent treatment of yachting 

 and canoeing that have already won for the Forest and Stream esteem and confidence. 



Its editors aim to make the Forest and Stream a medium for the interchange of infor 

 rnation, entertainment and amusement among sportsmen. Sketches of field excursions, 

 shooting and angling trips, original observations in natural history, and other like contribu- 

 tions are respectfully solicited. Secretaries of clubs and associations are urged to send us 

 reports of their transactions. Expressions of opinion upon any subject within the scope of 

 the paper are invited and will be given place in our columns. 



We beg to suggest to the friends of the Forest and Stream that they bring the paper 

 and its merits to the attention of others whose tastes and sympathies are in accord with its 

 spirit and aims. Free specimen copies will be cheerfully furnished upon application. 



The weekly issues of the Forest and Stream fonn two volumes each year, of twenty- 

 six numbers, or 500 pages each, and the files constitute a library of permanent worth. 

 Eighteen such volumes have already been published. We furnish handsome file binders 

 (price $1.25) which hold twenty-six numbers. 



Subscriptions may begin at any time. Per year, $4; $2 for six months. Remit by post- 

 office money order, draft or registered letter. Give name, town, county and State. Address
