158 RECREATION. 
arrayed in evening costume and lavishly dec- 
orated with violets. The color scheme is 
superb, and there is sure to be a great de- 
mand for this calendar. Any reader of 
RECREATION who will write the company, 
mentioning this magazine, can get a copy of 
the calendar free—while the supply lasts. 

GAME ALONG THE GRAND TRUNK. 
In a recent conversation with an officer 
of the Grand Trunk Railway, he stated 
that the deer and moose hunting sea- 
son in the Province of Ontario for No- 
vember last was even better than previous 
seasons, as returns from the express com- 
panies and other channels demonstrate. 
The Canadian Express company carried a 
total of 2,950 deer, weighing 309,101 pounds. 
This number shows an increase of 682 car- 
casses over last season. These figures, of 
course, do not give any idea of the total 
number of animals killed, as the major por- 
tion of them are carried home by other 
conveyances, and many of the hunters bring 
home the heads only as trophies. It is esti- 
mated that about 10,000 deer and 100 moose 
were killed during the 15 days open season 
in the Highlands of Ontario. It has also 
been noticed that many more sportsmen 
from the United States have gone into the 
hunting regions this year. The grouse and 
duck shooting has also been good through- 
out the Highlands, but quail have been 
more scarce than in past years. 

A NEW BUZZACOTT BOOK. 
Buzzacott, Racine Junction, Wiscon- 
sin, has recéntly issued a book entitled 
“The Anglers’ Manual.” It is scarcely 
necessary to say more of this than that it 
is on a par with his Campers’ Manual. 
That is, it gives more information, for a 
smaller price, than any book I have ever 
seen. This Anglers’ Manual sells at 10 
cents a copy, and contains $10 worth of 
information, at a conservative estimate. 
The text is terse and is condensed to a 
minimum of space. The illustrations, over 
200 in number, show nearly every device 
that fishermen ever have occasion to use. 
Among these illustrations are accurate por- 
traits of most of the species of game fishes 
found in this country. 
There are many other valuable features 
in the book, but it is scarcely necessary to 
enumerate them here. No man or woman 
who is interested in fishing would ever 
hesitate to pay 10 cents for a book that 
tells all about it, and this one does that. 
In writing for it please mention RECREA- 
TION. 

HISTORY OF GREAT FLOOD. 
The Passenger Department of the Chi- 
cago & Alton railway has issued a book, 
entitled “The Flood of 1903,” which is one 
of the most remarkable publications that 
has ever come to me from any railway 
company. The book is a pictorial history 
of the great Mississippi flood, which, as 
everyone knows, carried away millions of 
dollars’ worth of property, and inflicted un- 
told misery and suffering on thousands of 
people. Several of the cuts in this book 
are made on the panoramic plan. They are 
4% inches high by 25 inches long, and 
show the terrible expanse of water and the 
fearful loss of property in the most graphic 
way that these could possibly be portrayed 
by the camera. 
Mr. Charlton is entitled to great credit 
for the ingenuity and enterprise displayed 
in this matter, for “The Flood of 1903” 
is a great book. Any reader of RECREATION 
can get a copy of the book by enclosing 
25 cents in postage to Mr. George J. Charl- 
ton, G. P. A., C. & A. Railway, Chicago, II. 

A LESSON IN ADVERTISING 
In their 1904 calendar just received, N. 
W. Ayer & Son have adhered to their 
popular conception of a business calendar, 
but have changed the design and coloring. 
The size is the same, about 14 by 28 inches, 
with large readable dates, but the clay 
modeling design printed in sepia tints, 
gives more prominence to their well known 
motto, ,, Keeping everlastingly at it brings 
success”; not a bad idea for people to have 
before them throughout the year. 
The blank spaces occurring each month 
contain suggestions on business getting, ad- 
vertising in general, and N. W. Ayer & 
Son’s methods of advertising in particular, 
the whole forming an interesting and in- 
structive lesson in productive publicity. 
Requests for this calendar addressed to 
their Philadelphia office, accompanied by 
25 cents to cover cost and postage, will be 
taken care of for the present. Last year 
the supply lasted barely to days. 

ONLY ONE CLUB BRAND. 
Judge Colt, of the Circuit Court of thr 
United States, District of Massachusetts, 
deserves the congratulations and thanks of 
the American people for the broad and 
sweeping decision rendered Nov. 9, 1903, 
restraining Adams, Taylor Co., of Boston, 
Mass., from using the word “Club” in 
connection with bottled Cocktails. The 
complainants, G. F. Heublein & Bro., have 
spent much time and money in introducing 
the celebrated Club Cocktails, which like 
all well known and staple articles have 
been more or less-imitated. This decision 
means not only protection to the maker of 
the goods, but affords equal protection to 
the purchaser, and simplifies the matter of
