RECREATION. 



WHAT THEY SAY OF IT. 



Enclosed find money order for $i, for one 

 year's subscription to Recreation, to be sent 

 to Milford Bray. I let Mr. Bray have a copy of 

 the magazine to look at, and he was so well 

 pleased with it that he feels he cannot be happy 

 without it. Recreation is a grand magazine. 

 It hits me in the right spot. I am a lover of 

 hunting and fishing, and although I have read 

 many publications devoted to field sports, I have 

 never seen anything in that line which pleased 

 me so well as Recreation does. It is interest- 

 ing from cover to cover. 



G. W. Shampanore. 

 [Editor East Bangor (Pa.) Press]. 



Since I got into daily newspaper life, ten or a 

 dozen years ago, I have had scant opportunities * 

 to enjoy the real life in the field. You know how 

 a man is bound sometimes, when his heart longs 

 for green solitudes and the pungent smell of the 

 camp-fire smoke. I have ' ' eased my bosom's 

 pain " a trifle by reading of what the other fel- 

 lows have done — and you have for years been 

 one of my favorite " other fellows." I hope sin- 

 cerely that Recreation will be a full success. 

 Your books have given me much pleasure, and 

 your articles on field sports have a charm I can- 

 not resist. 



W. J. HUNSAKER. 



[Managing Editor Detroit Journal.] 



Having run across a recent number of Re- 

 creation I was both surprised and delighted at 

 its contents. The name of its editor is an assur- 

 ance to sportsmen that the editorials, at least, 

 will be true to nature and correct in every par- 

 ticular as regards the natural history of the big 

 game of the United States. Your works are 

 favorites with my partner and myself, and being 

 big game hunters, we think we are capable of 

 judging as to another's knowledge of that kind 

 of sport. 



Have you ever hunted in northwestern Wyo- 

 ming ? I don't refer to the National Park. If so, 

 a short article on that part of the country, written 

 by the editor himself, could not be equalled. 



D. L. Mechling. 



Since my experience in the West I have been 

 searching through papers and magazines for 

 news and accounts of adventure pertaining to 

 that very interesting and fascinating world — for 

 it is a world in itself. When reading the first 

 number of your bright magazine it almost ap- 

 peared like a dream, for there was one story after 

 another, short but covering much ground, com- 

 piled in some fifty pages, and edited by an old 

 friend. It seemed as if it has been published 

 expressly for me. 



Wish you abundant success in your under- 

 taking. Here is my dollar. 



Harry L. Suydam. 



The magazine is both interesting and credit- 

 able, and in every way appeals to the higher sen- 

 timents of sportsmen. It seems to me that its 

 prosperity must be beyond doubt. 



Hon. Thomas A. Logan. 



[Gloan.] 



I am more pleased than I can say with Recre- 

 ation. It has improved greatly since the initial 

 number, and I feel sure that under your able 

 management it will keep right on improving. 

 No one who loves out-door sports ought to be 

 without it. I have now sent you more than 60 

 subscriptions, and intend to send you many 

 more during the year 1895. 



C. H. Douglass. 

 [Asst. Manager R. G. Dun & Co., Chicago.] 



Of all the writers on field sports you are my 

 favorite. I have " Hunting in the Great West," 

 and " The Big Game of North America," and 

 have read all of your articles in various period- 

 icals during the last ten years. I always feel that 

 I should like to meet you, have a handshake, 

 and thank you for the pleasure your writings 

 have given me. E. S. Ellithorpe. 



I must congratulate you on Recreation. I 

 think it the best in its line of anything published. 

 Its contents are choice, and the letter press a 

 work of art. I do not know when I have been 

 so pleased with and interested in a new publi- 

 cation. H. S. Bull. 

 [Angling Editor, Times-Union, Albany, N. Y.] 



January number of Recreation duly at hand. 

 You have indeed done yourself proud. It is cer- 

 tainly a neat, clean, spicy magazine, full of in- 

 teresting matter, not only for the sportsman, but 

 for the home table. May you live long and 

 prosper. 



J. H. Barlow. 

 [Manager Ideal Manufacturing Co.] 



A friend has just called my attention to your 

 admirable magazine. I believe it fills an ever- 

 increasing want, and I prophesy for it long life 

 and success. It is wide in its scope, artistic and 

 attractive in form, and should appeal to all true 

 lovers of sport. Enclosed find $1 for a year's 

 subscription. Arthur F. Rice. 



I wish to tell you how well I like Recreation. 

 It is the best of the several of its kind. The 

 October number alone is worth more than the 

 year's subscription, and the succeeding numbers 

 are equally good. The illustrations are beautiful. 



B. W. Evermann. 

 [Ichthyologist of the U. S. Fish Commission.] 



Recreation is a beautiful work of art. The 

 illustrations are excellent and the reading matter 

 most interesting. [Hon.] John S. Wise. 



How glad I am you have started the neatest, 

 best journal in America on our favorite topics. 

 Wm. Van Antwerp, M.D. 



Recreation is the brightest of all our reading 

 matter. Ira Dodge. 



I think Recreation is the finest magazine in 

 America. Will Clapp. 



In answering advertisements, please 

 mention Recreation.
