RECkMA TION. 



The recent heated term and consequent 

 dulness in business has afforded a large 

 number of New York trout anglers an op- 

 portunity to make trips to the Eastern and 

 Western fringes of the Adirondacks; and 

 the North bound trains of the New York 

 Central Railroad have been well filled, ev- 

 ery day, with healthy looking men, in 

 rough clothes, carrying their favorite fly 

 rods. Those going to Essex county change 

 at Albany, and Troy, to the Delaware and 

 Hudson cars. 



The sport has averaged good, for the 

 New York State Fisheries Commission has 

 been doing good work in stocking all the 

 trout waters in the state. In this it has 

 been generously aided by the railway com- 

 panies who furnish free transportation for 

 trout and other fish fry. 



I am a constant reader of Recreation. 

 It fills a long felt want, and brings true hap- 

 piness to the hearts of the friends of field 

 and gun. 



J. G. Patterson, Des Moines, la. 



I read your magazine with great delight, 

 and the man who has not, has something 

 good before him.
