RECREATION. 



I received the Livery rowboat from the 

 Racine Boat Manufacturing Company in 

 good condition, and am delighted with it. 

 All who have seen it greatly admire it. I 

 kettf it on exhibition in front of our store 

 all day. It is the prettiest and best boat 

 that was ever in our city. Your premiums 

 are extremely liberal. I thank you for the 

 boat and for your promptness in ordering 

 it shipped. I never fail to tell my friends 

 that Recreation is the greatest magazine 

 published for those who love the gun and 

 rod. 



I. B. Cooke, Bowling Green, Ky. 



Will you kindly inform all interested 

 readers of your splendid magazine that the 

 Binocular glasses advertised for sale in 

 Recreation have been disposed of. I have 

 received over 200 answers to my advertise- 

 ment, and' as these letters continue coming 

 each day, from all parts of the United 

 States and Canada, I shall be obliged if 

 you will mention in next month's issue 

 that the glasses have been sold. Truly, 

 Recreation is a wonderful advertising me- 

 dium. 



E. A. Jackson, New York. 



I received the Harrington & Richardson 

 revolver you sent me as a premium, also 

 the Recreation match box. The revolver 

 is a dandy and shoots well. The match 

 box is just what I have wanted for years. 

 I thank you for your liberality in furnish- 

 ing such valuable premiums. 



E. C. A. Becker, Worcester, Mass. 



Again let me thank you for the Aber- 

 crombie waterproof wall tent. It is cer- 

 tainly waterproof, as it had a test of a half 

 day's continuous rain and did not leak. 

 For only 8 subscriptions the premium is a 

 most liberal one. 



Jas. E. Heckel, Scranton, Pa. 



I received the Wizard A camera, and am 

 well pleased with it. It is a much better 

 instrument than I expected. Please ac- 

 cept thanks for premium and for prompt- 

 ness in sendiner it. 



Mrs. C. M. Cool, West, N. Y. 



Your Recreation match box to hand, for 

 which accept my thanks. I am much 

 pleased with it, and think every sportsman 

 should have one to have a complete hunt- 

 ing outfit. 



A. J. Carnegie, Port Perry, Ont. 



The Primus oil stove was duly received 

 in good order. It is a neat, compact and 

 well made article. I have thoroughly test- 

 ed it and it gives perfect satisfaction. 



W. B. Connolly, Holyoke, Mass. 



Please accept my thanks for the Har- 

 rington & Richardson single s'hot gun 

 you sent me as a premium. It is not only 

 a little beauty, but it is a fine shooter. 



Bert R. Northrop, South Oxford, N. Y. 



The Shakespeare reel sent me as a pre- 

 mium is far ahead of my expectation. It 

 is a fine piece of work, and the action 

 should please the most critical. 



J. Church, Lynn, Mass. 



I received the Marble pocket-axe, also 

 the hunting knife. They are the finest out- 

 fit of the kind I ever saw, and I have been 

 a guide 10 years. 



J. D. Clark, Colorado Springs, Colo. 



I received the Johnson sleeping bag you 

 had sent to me from D. T. Abercrombie 

 & Co, all right. I feel more than repaid 

 for my trouble. 



M;K Abernethy, Bristol, Vt. 



The cut glass salad bowl arrived from 

 Higgins & Seiter a short time ago and it 

 far surpassed my expectations. It is a 

 rare beauty. 



G. Daugherty, Walden, Colo. 



The West End gun cabinet arrived to- 

 day and I am much pletsed with it. Please 

 accept my thanks for your most generous 

 gift. 



A. B. Moore, Marlboro, Mass. 



The Al Vista No. 5 B. camera came to 

 hand in due time. All who have seen it 

 rave about it. It is simply a wonder. 



L. F. Chapman, Escanaba, Mich. 



I thank you for the premium set of 

 Nehring's ampliscopes. They work well 

 with my Wizard lens. 



T. W. Bonney, East Summer, Me. 



The Stevens Ideal rifle you sent me for 

 10 subscriptions came all right and I am 

 well pleased with it. 



Chas. Beeson, Salem, Ohio. 



The Shattuck hammerless received as a 

 premium is a much better gun than I ex- 

 pected. 



F. M. Kent, Eidenon, Pa. 



The Al Vista camera came all right. 

 Accept my sincere thanks for it. 



J. G. Hofstatter, Toledo, O. 



The Horton rod is a beauty and the 

 Carpenter tent is Al. 



David M. Moore, Lisbon, O.
