WHERE RUNS THE NEW YORK CENTRAL. 



WILLIAM I. LAMPTON. 



Where the mild Mohawk meanders, 

 Where the lakes and pleasant streams 



Among the vales and mountains, 

 Lie still in silver dreams ; 



Where the touch of Nature's kindness 

 Comes down upon the earth, 



To paint the smiling landscape 

 In scenes of radiant mirth ; 



Of laughing brooks and meadows, 



Where daisies come between 

 The sunshine and the shadow, 



That glorify the green ; 



Where the mountains in the distance 



Sleep silent all the day, 

 In purple robes of morning, 



In twilight robes of gray; 



Where hamlet, town and city 

 Thrive as the green bay tree 



Beneath the fost'ring care of 

 The only N. Y. C. ; 



There every man is happy, 



There every woman, blest; 

 They simply press the button, 



The Central does the rest. 



ANOTHER MAN WHO LIKES HIS PAGE FENCE 



New York, Dec. 1, 1899. 

 Page Woven Wire Fence Company, 

 Adrian, Michigan. 



Gentlemen : — Yours enclosing bill for 

 $208.95 for Page Fence at Bedford Park 

 came duly to hand. 



I send you herewith check to cover same, 

 and wish at the same time to express my 

 gratification with the fence. I have been 

 much pleased with the transaction from the 

 outset. Despite the difficulty of getting ma- 

 terial it was delivered promptly. Your 

 representative, who had charge of the work, 

 handled it very well, erecting the fence 

 promptly, and apparently taking a pride in 

 seeing that it was well done. The fence 

 when completed was all you had prom- 



ised for it, and is much more agreeable to 

 the eye and satisfactory in every way than 

 I had dared hope. We are all much 

 pleased with it, and desire, when the front 

 line of our property is determined by the 

 opening of Woodlawn road, to extend the 

 fence entirely around the place. 



Yours very truly, 

 W. W. Niles, Jr. 



The Gold Medal Camp Furniture Com- 

 pany, of Racine, Wis., has again placed 

 an ad. in Recreation and invites the 

 readers to call for its catalogue. 



As I have frequently said, these people 

 make a line of the most comfortable and 

 even luxurious camp beds, chairs and ta- 

 bles ever put on the market. They are 

 staunch and well made, and yet are so 

 light that a whole outfit for 6 men can be 

 stowed away in the bow of a boat or under 

 the seat of a wagon, and will not weigh 

 more than 50 to 60 pounds. I have car- 

 ried a Gold Medal camp bed on the hur- 

 ricane deck of a cow pony thousands of 

 miles. It has saved my bones many an 

 ache, and has enabled me to enjoy many a 

 good night's rest where otherwise I would 

 have spent hours lying awake and wishing 

 for a good bed. 



Write for a copy of the catalogue and 

 then order some of the goods listed in it. 

 You will agree with me after having seen 

 them. 



Charles S. Lee, G. P. A. of the Lehigh 

 Valley Railroad Co., Havemeyer Building, 

 New York, has issued a beautiful folder 

 entitled "The Lehigh Valley Railroad as 

 Seen from the Trains." It contains a 

 unique bird's-eye map of the route and a 

 number of beautiful half tone pictures of 

 scenery along the line, together with a 

 great deal of valuable data regarding the 

 principal towns and resorts. Anyone 

 looking for a cool, sylvan spot in which to 

 spend the summer months would find 

 much of interest in this folder. If you 

 write for it mention Recreation. 



H. H. Kiffe & Co.'s 1900 catalogue, 

 spoken of in May Recreation, is out and 

 is a corker. It is one of the most com 

 plete of the year, and contains price list > 

 and illustrations of everything a sports- 

 man could possibly want for his camp or 

 his home. If you have no copy of it write 

 for it and say you saw it mentioned in 

 Recreation. 



Mr. Arthur W. Savage, manager of the 

 Savage Arms Co., is at the Paris Exposi- 

 tion, in charge of the Savage guns exhibit. 

 No doubt hundreds of European sports- 

 men will avail themselves of this oppor- 

 tunity to buy high grade American rifles.
