The ideal Manufacturing Company is al- 

 ways on the alert to make tools and im- 

 plements that will meet tne needs of shoot- 

 ers. The latest device made by this Com- 

 pany is the Ideal shot shell trimmer. This 

 is a practical implement that will properly 

 trim paper shells that have been fired. 

 With it the soft and frayed ends of shells 

 that have been fired a number of times 

 may be cut off to any length desired. This 

 trimmer is made for all gauges. 



Every shooter should have a copy of the 

 latest Ideal Hand Book, full of information 

 to shooters. It also gives description and 

 price of all Ideal Implements, which should 

 be kept by all dealers in arms and ammuni- 

 tion. Address Ideal Mfg. Co., New Haven, 

 Conn., and mention Recreation. 



Mr. E. H. Fitch has bought the interest 

 of A. E. Gehben in the old firm of 

 D. T. Abercrombie & Co., and the 

 new concern will be known as Abercrombie 

 & Fitch. Mr. Fitch is a gentle brother of 

 the angle, a big game hunter, a good wing 

 shot and, in fact, an all around sportsman 

 and lover of outdoor life. Everybody 

 knows Mr. Abercrombie's qualifications for 

 conducting a business such as he has been 

 running for years, and in this new addi- 

 tion to his working strength the house will 

 be able to do everything that any reason- 

 able sportsman could wish done, in the 

 way of providing complete camping outfits. 

 I know Mr. Fitch personally, and bespeak 

 for him the good will and the confidence 

 of all readers of Recreation. 



E. W. Stiles, 141 Washington street, 

 Hartford, Conn., has issued a new and at- 

 tractive catalogue of goods made of buffalo 

 horns. These include mirrors, gun racks, 

 buffalo skulls mounted on shields, electric 

 light fixtures in great variety, silver loving 

 cups artistically mounted with buffalo horn 

 handles, e*x. 



These horns are genuine buffalo, picked 

 up on the Western plains. The articles 

 made in combination with these horns form 

 interesting and valuable American sou- 

 venirs of an animal now nearly extinct. 

 Write E. W. Stiles for a catalogue of these 

 unique goods and say you saw it men- 

 tioned in Recreation. 



The Charles Daly gun has long been 

 a standard among the better class of 

 shooters, but the price has been be- 

 yond the reach of thousands of men 

 who have often wished they could 

 have one of these guns. In response 

 to this large demand, Schoverling, Daly 

 & Gales, of this city, have now put 

 on the market a Charles Daly gun which 

 retails at $80. It has many of the good 

 qualities of the high-priced Daly guns, but 

 01 course is not so highly finished. See 

 the ad of the new Daly in this issue of 

 Recreation, and write the manufacturers 

 for full particulars. Mention Recreation. 



Jespersen & Hines have been occupying 

 only half of the store at 10 Park Place, New 

 York, with their sporting goods business, 

 but it has outgrown that capacity, so they 

 have crowded the other man out and will 

 hereafter occunv the entire store. They 

 will add to their previous lines a full outfit 

 of tents, boats, camping outfits, sportsman's 

 clothing and many other things they have 

 not heretofore kept in stock, so readers of 

 Recreation may feel safe in ordering al- 

 most anything they may want from that 

 house, and their orders will always receive 

 prompt and careful attention. 



E. S. Applegate & Co., of Trenton, N. 

 J., have been compelled by increase of 

 business to move to still larger quarters, 

 and have selected a more central location, 

 at 17 South Broad street. They carry a 

 much larger stock ' than heretofore of bi- 

 cycles, guns, ammunition, fishing tackle, 

 sporting and athletic goods. To these they 

 have lately added canoes, gasoline launches 

 and general boating supplies. Sportsmen 

 would do well to write Messrs. Applegate 

 & Co., at their new address. Please say 

 you saw it in Recreation. 



Rolla O. Heikes, the veteran shooter of 

 the scatter gun, recently established a new 

 record for long range flying target shoot- 

 ing at Waco, Texas. Mr. Heikes broke 99 

 out of 100 targets with a run of 89 breaks 

 without a miss, at 10 yards. This work 

 speaks well for the uniformitv in the veloc- 

 ity and pattern of his load — factory loaded 

 U. M. C. shells.

Drs. H. R. Phillips and Wrean, 

 Penn Yan, N. Y.

 safe. The rabbits are in good condition 

 and please me greatly. Yours truly, 



C. M. Barlofy.
