THE WEEKLY JOURNAL OF THE ROD AND GUN. 



MVOTED TO THE Ir-.iii.KSIK OK SPORTSMEN, AND THE INCULCATION IN MEN AND WOMEN OF A WHOLESOME INTEREST IN 



OTJTDOOB EEOEEATION AND STUDY. 



The conductors of tbe Fokem and Stkeam point with much pride and satisfaction to the past and the present of the paper, and 

 pledge their readers that the same high standard of excellence will be maintained in the future. The Fokest and Stream will preserve 

 the reputation it has earned for being : 



l- O PERTAINING AND INSTRUCTIVE. 



The " Sportsman Tourist," " Game Bag and Gun," 

 and " Sea and River Fhidng" departments will con- 

 tain sketches of travel, camp life and adventure ; ac- 

 counts of shooting and a Dgling excursions ; hints, helps, 

 and experiences; poetry, stories, humor; impartially 

 written reports of all meetings, etc., etc., etc. 



" Natural History" will be so conducted as to stimu- 

 late observation, investigation and research. Among its 

 contributors may be mentioned Prof. Spencer F. Baird, 

 of WHshiugion, P. C, the Secretary of the Smithsonian 

 Institution, who is so well known as the first authority 

 in the country on ornithology and fishculture ; Dr. 

 Elliott Ooues, U. S. A., and Prof. J. A. Allen, of the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology, the distinguished 

 writers on birds and mammals ; Professors Jordan and 

 Gill, eminent in icthyology ; Dr. Yarrow, the authority 

 on reptiles ; Prof Marsh, of Yale College, the writer on 

 fossils, and Prof. Eaton, the botanist. Hundreds of 

 ether names, scarcely less well-known, might be added 

 to the list. 



"Fishculture," edited by a practical and well-known 

 fishculturist, will receive frequent contributions from 

 the officers of the U S. Fish Commission at Washington. 

 This department will prove indispensable to every 

 farmer and country gentleman who can own a fish pond 

 for profit or pleasure. 



The columns devoted to the "Kennel" will be filled 

 with matter of interest and practical w«th to sportsmen 

 and dog fanciers. "Rifle and Trap Shooting" will 

 p' furnish reports of all important events in the shooting 

 world. ' ' Yachting and Canoeing " will remain in charge of 

 a specialist, its editor being a graduate of the P. S. 

 Naval Academy at Annapolis, and a practical naval 

 architect, thoroughly informed in every branch of his 

 profession. Due attention will be given to canoeing, 

 as its growing importance demands. 



JI.—E1GH IN TONE. 



The tone of the Fokest and Stream is exceptionally 

 high. It is edited for men of healthy minds in healthy 

 bodies. Its reading and advertising columns will be 

 clean. Its pages will sparkle like the mountain stream 

 in the sunlight, aad its contents will be redolent of the 

 exhilarating fragrance of the forest. Primarily intended 

 for gentlemen, it is also a paper for the family centre- 

 table, and one which the entire family, old and young, 

 read with pleasure and profit. The best guarantee of 

 its thoroughly high character is afforded by a reference 

 to a list of those who write for it. 



Ill -ADAPTED TO TEE TASTES OF ALL. 



Among the hundreds of correspondents of the Forest 

 and Stream are Business Men, Lawyers, Physicians, 

 Clergymen, Army and Navy Officers, Naturalists, 

 Pioneers, Trappers, Prospectois, College Professors, 

 Tourists, Civil Engineers, Artists, Editors of other 

 papers ; young men who have not yet struck out for 

 themselves, and old men who have retired ; in short, 

 members of every trade, profession, and occupation. 



Farmers and Farmers' Boys constitute a large class of 

 our readers. They will find the Forest and Stream 

 ever disposed to reconcile ( he seemingly conflicting but 

 really identical interests of respectable sportsmen and 

 reasonable land-owners. 



IV.— INDEPENDENT. 



The position of influence now occupied by the Forest 

 and Stream imposes upon the paper responsibilities 

 which it has no wish to shirk. The organ of no clique, 

 It will be perfectly free to criticise everything inimical 

 to the interests of the highest and manliest sportsman- 

 ship. Its attitude on all important questions within its 

 field is well understood. For the benefit of advertisers 

 and readers alike, it will also, as in the past, expose 

 and denounce all dangerous irauds. Advertisements of 

 doubtful character will not be admitted to its columns on 

 any terms. 



Y.— COURTEOUS. 



The Forest and Stream will have no room in its 

 columns for personalities and bickerings. Its editors 

 have neither taste nor time for "mud throwing." They 

 do not share the opinion, held by some other journals, 

 that blackguardisms and indecencies are essential char- 

 acteristics of a sportsman's paper. Readers who want 

 that sort of thing must look for it somewhere else than 

 in the Forest and Stream. Verbum sap. 



VT. -BROAD IN SYMPATHY. 



The Forest and Stream will ask for, and strive to 

 win, the continued support of readers in every part of 

 the country. It never has been narrow in spirit ; nor 

 has it ever held itself up as the organ of any one " sec- 

 tion." The paper is, and will be, American, in the 

 broadest, highest and best meaning of that term. Every 

 State, Territory and Province on the Continent, with 

 many foreign countries beyond, are represented in our 

 11st of contributors and subscribers. The very wide 

 geographical distribution of the friends and correspond- 

 ents of the Forest and Stream is a sufficient guarantee 

 of the variety and excellence of its contents. 

 Literally and figuratively is it true that 



THE SUN NEVER SETS ON THE FOREST AND STREAM. 



CONTRIBUTIONS AND CORRESPONDENCE. 



Its editors aim to make the Forest and Stream a medium for the interchange of information, entertainment and amusement 

 among sportBmen. Sketches of field excursions, shooting and angling trips, original observations in natural history, and other like con- 

 tributions 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. 



BOUND VOLUMES. 



The weekly issues of the Forest amd Stream form two volumes each year, of twenty-six numbers, or 500 pages each. Seventeen such 

 volume* have already been published. We furnish handsome file binders (price $1.25) which hold twenty-six numbers. Each volume 

 when •ompleted may be returned to us for binding, the cost per volume being $1.50. At this slight additional expense each reader may 

 preserve an unique library of substantial and permanent value.
