I had a good chance to try the Shattuck 

 gun. It is excellent and makes a very 

 even pattern. I went hunting with 3 

 friends and 2 dogs. We did not slaugh- 

 ter all the game in Ohio. We had lots of 

 sport and went to our homes at night 

 with 6 rabbits and one red squirrel. They 

 were all we wanted. Every one of us reads 

 Recreation, and we remember that good 

 book teaches us not to be game hogs, but 

 to give other sportsmen a chance. 



George H. Alcott, New London, Ohio. 



Your magazine is immense and is do- 

 ing lots of good. It shames many young 

 would-be game hogs into decency. Som< 

 of the older and more confirmed porkers 

 are almost past praying for, but Recrea- 

 tion will have its effect even on them.

Artist— My next picture at the Academy 

 will be entitled "Driven to Drink." 



His Friend — Ah, some powerful por- 

 trayal of baffled passion, I suppose? 



Artist— Oh. no; it's a cab approaching a 

 water trough! 



The West End gun cabinet is a beaut; 

 and every man who hunts or keeps a gun 

 should have one.
