I received the Forehand gun, in good 

 condition and am much pleased with it in 

 every particular. It is exactly as I request- 

 ed. Have killed ducks with it which my 

 companions said were out of reach of any 

 shotgun. The subscribers all like Recre- 

 ation, which is not strange, by any means.

Lubricates not only the chain and sprockets, but 

 also the pins in the links of the chain, 



which stick Graphite cannot do and is not intended 

 to do. For gun locks, for copying presses, and 

 for office chairs it is unequaled. If your dealer 

 does not keep it, mention Recreation, and send 

 15 cents for sample.

The Forehand hammerless gun received 

 and it far surpasses my expectations. The 

 critics had their laugh, while I was getting 

 the subscriptions; now it is my turn. 

 Three of my subscribers have started out 

 to get clubs in order to get similar guns. 

 I will keep the ball rolling for Recrea- 

 tion. I have one subscriber 84 years old 

 and he takes more pleasure in reading Rec- 

 reation than in the news of the day. 

 A. V. Voorhees, 123 Varick St., N. Y. 



The Ithaca gun you sent me, for 35 sub- 

 scriptions, is far above my expectations. 

 It is a hard shooting gun and one that any 

 sportsman may well feel proud of. 



Chas. E. Stone, Newburyport, Mass. 



Permit me to thank you for the Bristol 

 steel rod, sent me as a premium for 10 sub- 

 scriptions. It is the first time anything of 

 value ever came my way, for nothing. It 

 is no trouble to sell Recreation to a 

 sportsman. The rod is a beauty and feels 

 as though it would do good work. 



Avery L. Foote, Newark, N. Y. 



Yesterday I flushed a band of about 60 

 mallards, from the Sangamon swamps, near 

 here. 



A covey of 18 Bob Whites came to my 

 corn crib every day, last winter, for their ra- 

 tions. They were fine, plump little fellows. 

 Recently a Mr. Chas. Rider, while chopping 

 on an old basswood tree, scared 2 fox squir- 

 rels out of a hole, in the top of the tree. He 

 went to a house near by, got a gun and shot 

 both of them. Then he felled the tree, went 

 to a large hole near the top, and there lay 

 an old raccoon. Of course he killed him, 

 and began to think the woods were full of 

 game. " Sangamon," Ellsworth, 111. 



She: What makes you think Sommers 

 does not like Asbury Park? 



He: I notice that whenever he goes out, 

 he has a bored walk.
