ANOTHER HIT. 



Recreation is not the only thing that 

 has made a hit, this year. There is one 

 other. That is Recreation March. It 

 was published in the April number of this 

 magazine and already over 70,000 copies, in 

 sheet music form, have been sold. Many 

 of the leading bands and orchestras 

 throughout the country are playing it, and, 

 as a piano number, it is filling thousands 

 of homes with delight. Sousa's band is 

 playing it, on all occasions, and at a recent 

 Sunday night concert, at the Broadway 

 Theatre, responded to 3 encores before the 

 audience — a large and fashionable one — 

 would permit them to proceed to the next 

 number. The 7th, 12th, 13th and 22d regi- 

 ment bands played Recreation March in 

 the Grant Memorial parade, while passing 

 the grand stand, and the music was en- 

 thusiastically applauded. 



Verily Recreation March is a great hit, 

 as well as Recreation Magazine. 



I take great pleasure in reading Recrea- 

 tion and wait anxiously for it each month, 

 always finding something up-to-date for 

 sportsmen.

Your columns are filled with testimonials 

 of the worth of Recreation, and " The half 

 has not been spoken." May you live long 

 and prosper. 



H. C. W., Friendship, N. Y. 



I read Recreation from one end to the 

 other, every month, and think it is the best 

 magazine of the kind I have ever seen. 



There is not much game in this locality, 

 but we get a deer once in a while. I had 

 the good fortune to kill 2 in October.
