RECREA TION, 



lv 



I have examined samples or the trout 

 flies made by E. Q. Chatfield, Owego, 

 N. Y., and cannot understand how any 

 |trout could fail to be attracted by them. 

 They are as neat; as dainty and as hand- 

 some as any moth that ever flew. In fact, 

 they are much prettier than most insects 

 which they purport to imitate; yet the 

 counterfeits are close enough and good 

 enough to deceive the wariest trout that 

 ever hid under a log. In filling your fly 

 book for next season, it would be well to 

 include a dozen of these Chatfield flies. In 

 ordering them, mention Recreation.

I hand you herewith a sketch of 2 men 

 I saw on 3d Avenue, New Brighton, Pa. 

 The incident spoke so well for Recrea- 

 tion, that I felt sure you would appreciate 

 it. It shows how eagerly your magazine is 

 read by all true sportsmen. Anyone who 

 reads Recreation will understand how 

 anxious those men were to devour all the 

 good stories they knew were in it. They 

 could not wait to get home, but as soon as 

 they got their books out of the Post office, 

 they sat down on the curbstone and sailed 

 in. 



By this sketch you can see what you are 

 doing to make life easy, for good people 

 all over the world.
