NEW ATTRACTIONS FOR THE 

 SPORTSMEN'S SHOW. 



A most interesting feature of the coming 

 Sportsmen's Show, at Madison Square 

 Garden, will be the exhibits to be pre- 

 sented by leading railway lines reaching 

 those sections of the country wherein big 

 game still abounds and where the lakes 

 and streams still yield an abundance of 

 game fishes. From Maine to Florida, and 

 from Virginia to the prairies beyond the 

 Mississippi, the resources of the country, 

 from the sportsman's standpoint, will be 

 most attractively and comprehensively 

 represented. The game treasures of that 

 comparatively little known section, the 

 Indian Territory, will be shown in a man- 

 ner that will surprise even those who have 

 been there. 



The Adirondack Hotel Men's League 

 last year made a superb exhibit, and so 

 substantial were the results that the same 

 organization will this year send down even 

 a greater and more comprehensive exhibit 

 than was its predecessor. The State of 

 Maine will this year make an exhibit that 

 promises to eclipse that of 1899. Supple- 

 menting the Maine and Adirondack ex- 

 hibits, and distinctly of the same class, will 

 be the exhibit to be made by the railway 

 companies whose lines penetrate the won- 

 derful State of Florida, which may still be 

 rightfully termed a sportsmen's paradise. 

 This exhibit will be thoroughly typical of 

 the physical character thereof. The weird 

 scenery of the Indian and Oklawaha rivers, 

 with their cypress studded banks and the 

 moss draped boughs of live oak and pine; 

 the limpid pools from which emerge the 

 head and jaws of the slothful but keen- 

 eyed alligator; brilliantly plumaged birds, 

 including the various varieties of the heron 

 family; and last, but not least, the typical 

 Florida pickaninny, in his garb of cheese 

 cloth and wool, will go to make up a real- 

 istic scene from one of the most interest- 

 ing States of the Union. 



Another exhibit that will recall many 

 pleasant experiences to sportsmen in the 

 vicinity of the metropolis is being arranged 

 by Mr. Oscar Hesse, of Red Bank. In its 

 day, Barnegat bay has furnished some of 

 the best sport ever enjoyed by Eastern 

 duck shooters, and its resources are still 

 great enough to attract hundreds of New 

 York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania 

 sportsmen every season. Mr. Hesse prom- 

 ises something that will revive old mem- 

 ories in the hearts of all Barnegat bay 

 shooters who see it. 



In short, the Garden will be transformed 

 into a hunter's camp, bigger, grander and 

 more typical of sport with the gun and 

 rod than ever before.
