It is doubtful if a more attractive sporting 
goods store exists, and the best part of it is the 
firm has sacrified none of its democracy to its 
aristocratic location. The feeling of cordiality 
which distinguished the old store way down 
town in what was once ‘“‘Sporting Goods Row” 
is not lost on Fifth Avenue, and one finds 
pleasure in making purchases where smugness 
of clerks and high-water prices are not deemed 
attributes of elegant store fixtures and high- 
grade stock. 

The new Ideal Hand Book, No. 17, of useful 
information for shooters, published by the 
Ideal Manufacturing Company, New Haven, 
Conn., is out, and our readers will find it 
contains many new pages. We can heartily 
recommend it to users of firearms, and will say 
that no user of a rifle or a revolver who does 
any appreciable amount of shooting should be ~ 
without a copy. It will save money, and if the 
shooter is inclined to experiment with loads he 
cannot go astray if he follows the loading 
instructions therein. It is free to shooters who 
mention RECREATION. 

Marble’s safety folding saw, for sportsmen 
and campers, is constructed and folded the 
same as Marble’s safety carver, which was 
described in these columns last month. On 
account of being so safe, light and easy to 
carry, this saw is invaluable to all who go into 
_the woods, and especially so to the student of 
forestry and botany. It has an 8-inch blade 
and weighs only 4 ounces. Readers of RECREA- 
TION can get a free catalogue of Marble’s tricks 
for sportsmen by addressing the Marble Safety 
Axe Company, Gladstone, Mich. 

Persons who contemplate going to Maine 
cannot do better than first secure a copy of 
“Carleton’s Pathfinder and Gazetteer,” by 
L. T. Carleton, chairman of the Maine Fish and 
Game Commission. No better authority exists 
than Mr. Carleton, and his position enables 
him to give the facts. A copy (of the second 
edition) will cost but fifty cents, and it will 
prove worth the expense many times over, for 
it tells where to go to get results, if you want 
. fish or game, and where not to go. Address 
L. T. Carleton, Augusta, Me., and mention 
RECREATION. 

Messrs. Schoverling, Daly & Gales write to 
us as follows: ‘“‘Charles Daly hammerless shot- 
guns are a high-grade hand-made gun and are 
made in our Suhl factory, where Daly guns 
exclusively have been made for the past thirty- 
five years. Sauer hammerless shotguns, Sauer- 
<= 
Mauser rifles, Charles Daly three-barrel ham- 
mer and hammerless guns and combined shot 
and rifle are all made in the factory of Messrs. 
J. P. Sauer & Son, Suhl, Germany. The Daly 
three-barrel shotgun and rifle has always been 
made by them under contract for Charles Daly, 
and in later years has borne the names of both 
concerns.” If interested in good guns, you can 
get a free catalogue by writing the importers 
and mentioning RECREATION. Address Scho- 
verling, Daly & Gales, 310 Broadway, New 
York City. 
The name of L. C. Smith has long been 
synonymous of high art in shotguns, and the 
makers of the gun of that name, the Hunter 
Arms Company, Fulton, N. Y., have for years 
enjoyed a success commensurate with the high 
standard of their product. But the Hunter 
Brothers have not been content to rest on their 
oars, regardless of gold medals won by their 
famous L. C. Smiths. They are gun makers 
above all else, and having learned from much 
experimenting that their best gun could not be 
improved, they set about making an entirely 
new and different arm. This envolved into the 
now justly celebrated Hunter One-trigger, and 
so they had two ‘‘best” guns—each in its own 
way the finest weapon the best brains and 
workmanship of their establishment were 
capable of turning out. If you can appreciate 
a gun that has a good deal of the love of the 
gunsmith in its makeup, then get the booklet 
about these guns and read how they are made. 

Half of the pleasure a sportsman gets out 
of life is the living over as a “shut-in” the 
bygone excursions. When the grate fire burns 
cheerful and the sleet taps cold on the window- 
pane, how pleasant to look over pictures taken 
months before! If you have no camera, get a 
No. 3 B Folding Hawk-Eye, made by the Blair 
Camera Company, Rochester, N. Y., put it in 
your pocket and take it with you on your trip. 
It loads by daylight and takes pictures 3% by 53. 

Stimulation without reaction. |Borden’s 
Malted Milk is delicious, concentrated nourish- 
ment, invaluable to the camper, made ready for 
use by adding water hot or cold. 

The Boston and Maine Railroad’s folder of 
resorts for the vacationist will be found usefully 
instructive, and any one who may be interested 
to take a trip way down East should get one 
and read up. Address D. J. Flanders, G. P. 
& T. A., Boston, Mass. :
