RECREATION. 



disappearing on each wave. The tiller is 

 pushed hard over, the boat jibes and on 

 we go toward apparent destruction. The 

 wild birds do not notice the white phantom 

 approaching. Now they are only a few 

 rods away. A flash, a report, and the gulls 

 fly with harsh cries from their haunt in the 

 skeleton wreck ; but the ducks do not fly. 

 The little flock floats head downward. 



Down in a shifting trough, up on a crest, 

 which quivers and breaks a rod beyond, 

 and we pick up the game. An instant's 

 hesitation, the jib flutters slowly, w 7 e hover 

 a second and then slide into the ocean 

 beyond. We have experienced what every 

 fowler who shoots about Ipswich bar goes 

 through ; danger, excitement, pleasure, with 

 final success. 



YANKED OUT OF PARADISE. 



Parties go regularly from this city to adjacent 

 lakes and invariably return with long strings of 

 fish to attest the fact that the waters of Florida 

 are prolific and afford the sportsman a paradise. 

 George Macy is showing a photograph of a part 

 of a string of fish caught at Sand lake, where 

 he has a fishing lodge. There are 65 large trout 

 shown in the photograph and there were 135 more 

 not shown, but all caught within a few hours. —

 girls, and of some 65 of the over 200 fish 

 they caught on that trip. I hope it may 

 prove interesting to sportsmen.

FLORIDA CRACKERS IN THE PEN. 



In reply to your inquiry, I will say that 

 3 of my employees went recently to my 

 country place, among the lakes, and caught 

 over 300 trout in one day. Fishing is ex- 

 cellent there. One of my sons and another 

 young man took 150 trout and bream in 3 



of people who commit this kind of slaugh- 

 ter. Anyone who looks at the faces of 

 these people will promptly draw his own 

 conclusions as to their character. Their 

 numbers in the fish hog pen are 904, 905, 

 906, 907 and 908.— Editor.

 which reads : "Boarders taken by the day, 

 week or month. Those who do not pay 

 promptly will be taken by the neck." — Tit-
