The Daimler Motor Company, Long 

 Island City, N. Y., builds a yacht that is the 

 wonder of all who see it. It has no smoke- 

 stack and no need of one. It is almost 

 noiseless and there is scarcely any vibration 

 from the working of the engines. 



I had the pleasure of a cruise, up the 

 Sound, the other day, with Mr. Louis Von 

 Bermuth, treasurer and general manager 

 of the Daimler Co., on his private yacht, the 

 " Gemini," and it wa£ curious to see the 

 people on the various craft we met stare at 

 the little launch and try to make out 

 where the smoke went, or what made her 

 go. To them there was no sign of life in 

 her except that she sped through the 

 water like an arrow through the air. She 

 passed and surpassed everything going our-, 

 way, and I think would even have left the 

 " Vamoose" behind if we had encountered 

 her. 



Mr. Von Bermuth is to be congratulated 

 on having so elegant a little craft, yet 

 he is turning out just as good ones, for 

 other people, every week. 



The athletic department of the Overman 

 Wheel Company has opened a football in- 

 formation bureau at the warerooms, 23 War- 

 ren street. They are prepared at all times 

 to furnish colleges, schools, athletic clubs 

 and associations with experienced coachers, 

 referees, umpires, and linesmen. They will 

 answer all questions relating to football. 

 Hugh X. Janeway, Princeton '90, will have 

 charge of this bureau. Managers, captains, 

 and presidents of football clubs are invited 

 to make the bureau their headquarters. A 

 directory will be kept giving names and ad- 

 dresses of all prominent football associa- 

 tions, and their officers and players. Club 

 schedules and exchanges of games, guaran- 

 tees, etc. will be arranged for. There will 

 be no charge made for this service, and it is 

 expected that the bureau will be of great 

 advantage to football leagues. TicKets and 

 reserved seats for all important football 

 games will be on sale at regular prices. 



New York, July 9.— Gentlemen: After 

 using my gun three days about the salt 

 water, duck-shooting, I cleaned it with 

 "Three in One," put it in an ordinary can- 

 vas case, and left it in a house on an island 

 in Great South Bay. It was not taken out, 

 cleaned, or in any way cared for, since it was 

 put away, until last week, when I opened the 

 case to inspect it. I found the gun abso- 

 lutely free from rust and in perfect condi- 

 tion, an experience which I never- had before 

 under like circumstances, although I have 

 used almost every advertised rust preventive. 

 I deem this test an extraordinary one, and 

 am an enthusiastic believer in your " Three 

 in One." Chas. E. Hill, 6 Wall st,

The Overman Wheel Company, New 

 York and Chicopee P^alls, Mass., has issued 

 a Football Guide that should be in the 

 hands of every lover of that sport. It con- 

 tains the rules of the game in full, with 

 special articles on "Training a Football 

 Team;" "Duties of the Captain;" u How 

 to Construct Football Plays," " Play of the 

 Forwards;" "The Backs," etc., by such well- 

 known experts as J. G. Lathrop, A. A. 

 Knipe, L. F. De Land, W. W. Heffelfinger, 

 Philip King and others. It has a review of 

 the season of '94, and brief descriptions of 

 the personnel of the Yale, Harvard, Prince- 

 ton and Pennsylvania teams. The record 

 of college games, played in 94, is excep- 

 tionally full and complete. The book 

 sells at 25 cents. Send for it. Mention 

 Recreation. 



It would pay every man and every woman 

 in New York to call on J. F. Douthitt, 286 

 5th Ave., and see his display of tapestry 

 paintings. They are perfect dreams of mural 

 loveliness, and a house decorated with a few 

 of them would equal in interior splendor 

 Monte Christo's subterranean palace, or Del 

 Rey's castle in the Pyrenees. Go and see 

 them, mention Recreation, and you will 

 be so delightfully entertained that you will 

 want to stay all day. 



October 4, 1895. 

 Messrs. G. W. Cole & Co. : 



I gave your "3 in 1" a severe test this 

 summer, having put it on my wheel before 

 leaving America and using it for two months 

 touring in Europe. My wheel came back 

 entirely free from rust. It was uncrated on 

 shipboard and "3 in 1 " protected the nickel 

 even there. It is the best chain-lubricant I 

 have used.

 4 P. m. train to Boston, and see the superb

 man Company. 



If you have an old, back-number gun or 

 pistol that you have no use for, give me a 

 description of it and quote lowest price. 



E. J. D., care Recreation. 



The new cars on the 4 P. m. trains between 

 New York and Boston, via Boston & Albany 

 R. R. are pronounced the handsomest in 

 New England. 



It will pay you to travel on the 4 P. M. 

 Limited to Boston via Boston & Albany. 

 New and elegant vestibuled cars throughout.
