RECREATION. 



xli 



I see that the article I wrote for Recrea- 

 tion in May, 1901, in regard to Peters 

 shells not working properly in a Winches- 

 ter repeating shot gun, fore arm action, has 

 provoked a controversy. Some condemn 

 me and say I do not know what I am talk- 

 ing about, but I am pleased to note that the 

 majority of sportsmen are with me. 



I repeat my assertion that the Peters 

 shells are not practicable for use in the 

 above mentioned arm. I have tried them 

 repeatedly, only to have 2 shells enter the 

 magazine at once, thereby blocking the 

 action. The U. M. C. cartridges are good 

 enough for me. In fact they are the best 

 I have ever found. As long as the Peters 

 people act in the present childish manner 

 towards you and Recreation, I don't want 

 their cartridges
