RECREA TION.

What's 

 the Use 



of walking when you 

 can get a first-class, high- 

 grade bicycle for nothing? 



How? 



By getting 75 subscriptions for 



Recreation 



If you live in a town of 3 t 000 

 or more, and if you are a hustler 

 you can get these in 2 days. 



I can give, you the names of 20 

 people who did this in J 896, and 

 who now have their wheels. 



Write for particulars.

Two of the best revolvers made in the 

 United States, are advertised in this issue 

 of Recreation. There are 2 other con- 

 cerns in the country, both of which claim 

 to make " the best " revolvers, but they re- 

 fuse to recognize the readers of Recrea- 

 tion as being capable of appreciating their 

 kind of " best " goods. Men who approve 

 the course of this magazine and who de- 

 sire to see it grow in usefulness, will serve 

 their own interests by patronizing the 

 houses that advertise in Recreation. 



Fishing is good here. There is a party 

 at the hotel, on the carry, and another at 

 the Seloomoc Cottage. They are getting 

 all the fish they want. I am traveling most 

 of the time. I hunt bear until some time 

 in June, each year, and do not engage in 

 the spring fishing. 



I see lots of game, on my tramps. Saw 

 5 moose, recently, and deer are abundant. 



John H. Quilty, Moosehead Lake, Me. 



Isaac Gage, of Hawleyton, N. Y., boasts 

 of having killed over 30a ruffed grouse, last 

 fall, in that vicinity and Brackneyville, Pa., 

 which is near Hawleyton. Why not give 

 him a roast? 



E. W. F., Binghamtdn, N. Y. 



I hope Mr. Satan will attend to that, 

 when Mr. Gage quits this earth.
