Schoverling, Daly & Gales, 315 Broad- 

 way, New York, announce that they are 

 now sole New York agents for the Mauser 

 hunting rifle. This will be interesting news 

 to many people who have been reading of 

 the remarkable killing power of this weapon. 



"What kind of a cat is that, Johnnie?" 

 " That's a long range cat, sir." " Why long 

 range?" ''Cause she's a Mauser!" — 

 Cleveland Plain Dealer. 



Received the Manhattan camera and think 

 myself more than paid for the 12 names I 

 sent you. Ed. Stein, Richmond, Ind. 



Husband — How do you like the view? 

 Wife (with ecstacy) — Oh, I am speechless. 

 Husband — I shall stay and build a house.

Success to Recreation. Wish it came 

 weekly instead of monthly. Your little game 

 hog gun is a dandy. Please send me one, 

 but of much larger bore, full choke, to use 

 on a party of hunters who insisted on kill- 

 ing pet squirrels from the trees in a good 

 old neighbor's yard. Each man was fined 

 $1.50. Are they men, tame hogs, or game 

 hogs? 



Quails are plentiful, owing to a large grain 

 crop. Sportsmen can find good shooting, 

 anywhere near here, on line of railroad. No 

 room for game hogs. 



E. G. Steele, Rock Hill, S. C. 



Received gun from Ithaca people and 

 have been trying and showing it ever since. 

 The shooting qualities are all right; also 

 the way it is put up and fits. Every sub- 

 scriber is well pleased with Recreation 

 and I am more than pleased with my prize.

I am much pleased with the gramophone, 

 and surprised to get so good an instrument 

 for the small number of 25 subscribers. I 

 shall start soon to get another club. 



O. W. Middaugh, Elmira, N. Y. 



Received the flag to-day. It is a beauty, 

 and in the name of the club I thank you 

 heartily for it.
