Thirty-foot high speed mahogany steam 

 launch for Mr. Charles M. Swain, Phila- 

 delphia. This boat will have a* mahogany 

 hull, varnished natural color. Machinery 

 will consist of a Seabury fore and aft com- 

 pound engine, 2^/4. and s}i x 4^ inch 

 stroke, and Seabury latest design water 

 tube boiler, allowed 260 pounds pressure. 

 The engine will turn up 400 to 425 revo- 

 lutions a minute, at this pressure, and the 

 speed will be 11 miles an hour, which is 

 considered good for a 30 ft. launch. The 

 launch will be a duplicate of the one now 

 on Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt's steam yacht 

 " Valiant," which was furnished by Sea- 

 bury & Co., several years ago, and which 

 beat the Duke of Rothschild's launch 

 " Eros " in a regatta at Nice. 



ALSO SMALL BOATS. 



W. H. Mullins, maker of the famous 

 metal boats, Salem, O., has issued a cata- 

 logue that will prove deeply interesting to 

 all who are fond of the water, but more 

 especially to duck shooters. Mr. Mullins's 

 family pleasure boats have proven im- 

 mensely popular. They are light, strong, 

 durable, thoroughly portable, and have 

 many .advantages over a wooden boat. 

 They are not affected by exposure to the 

 sun, or by letting them stand in the water, 

 as are wood and paint. If the paint gets 

 peeled off from the iron it is the work of 

 but a few minutes to turn the boat over, 

 wipe it off and paint it anew. When it 

 has stood for an hour the boat is again 

 ready for the water. In the case of a 

 wooden boat, if the paint gets raked off, 

 you must expose it to the sun until the 

 wood is thoroughly dried out before ap- 

 plying the paint. A strange thing about 



these metal boats is that they are said to 

 stand salt water as well as fresh water. 



This new catalogue contains some tempt- 

 ing pictures of duck shooters who are us- 

 ing Mullins's duck boats. It is a great 

 pity these cuts had not been printed bet- 

 ter, but even as they are, they will make 

 any old duck shooter itch all over to get 

 into his blind. 



Send for copy of this boat catalogue, 

 mentioning Recreation, and you will find 

 when you get it you have been well repaid 

 for the time and trouble of writing the 

 letter. 



GOOD BOOKS FOR SPORTSMEN. 



The Passenger Department of the Le- 

 high Valley Railway has issued a beautiful 

 booklet entitled " Hunting and Fishing on 

 the Lehigh Valley." It contains some im- 

 portant data as to where trout and bass 

 fishing, grouse and quail shooting may 

 be found on the line of this road, and this 

 information is tabulated in such a way that 

 one can get at it readily and conveniently. 

 The book also contains a number of illus- 

 trations that are perfect gems in their way. 

 Ore of these shows a pair of lusty old 

 black bass, and another a pair of ruffed 

 grouse hung up, either of which would 

 make a hungry man's mouth water. Then 

 there are some charming vignettes of scen- 

 ery in the Lehigh territory, that will de- 

 light the eye of every lover of nature. 



Another handsome booklet, issued by 

 this road, is entitled " Queen of American 

 Watering Places," and relates to Atlantic 

 City and its environs. This book is so 

 fraught with suggestions of ocean breezes, 

 surf-bathing and delightful promenades 

 that one feels inclined to take all the 

 chances of being interviewed by Spanish 

 war ships, in order to enjoy a few days at 

 this charming resort. 



Another little gem of the printer's art 

 is entitled " Two Mossbacks " and shows 

 some unique views of -Niagara Falls and 

 other points. It also gives much con- 

 densed information as to the best way of 

 reaching these places, and what to do after 

 you get there. 



Either or all of these bits of artistic 

 printing may be had by addressing Charles 

 S. Lee, G. P. A. Lehigh Valley Railroad, 

 23 Cortlandt Street, New York. Mention 

 Recreation. 



The Ideal Manufacturing Company, New 

 Haven, Ct., has issued its new Hand-Book 

 No. 10. Little more than this need be said. 

 This book has become a standard necessity 

 in the household of every sportsman. Each 

 issue of it has something new and it is kept 

 strictly up to date by being revised and 

 enlarged every year. Send for a copy of 

 No. 10, and don't forget to mention Rec- 

 reation,
