RECREATION. 



The Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. 

 have issued a calendar for 1902, which is 

 sure to be popular. The picture represents 

 a hunting girl armed with a Harrington & 

 Richardson gun, and the result shows that 

 these people knew where to go for an art- 

 ist that could do this kind of work. He 

 should have signed the picture, but. un- 

 fortunately he has not done so. 



This calendar will make an attractive 

 hanger for any office or den, and will be 

 sent free to persons asking for it and men- 

 tioning Recreation. 



Sportsmen who visit New York during 

 the winter should all go to Wallack's thea- 

 tre. Col. R. E. Moss, the manager of that 

 house, is a thorough sportsman, a big game 

 hunter, a member of the L. A. S., and vice- 

 warden of the New York Division. Sports- 

 men may therefore rest assured they will 

 always find at this house high class enter- 

 tainment, and that they will be courteously 

 and properly taken care of. 



The Franklin Institute, of Philadelphia, 

 on behalf of the National Export Exposi- 

 tion, awarded to the International Corre- 

 spondence Schools the highest award, a 

 diploma and a silver medal. The specific 

 reason for the award, as stated in 'the 

 diploma, is a unique, thorough and compre- 

 hensive system of technical education by 

 correspondence. 



Editor : Who sent in this item about 

 that last hailstorm? 



Sub-Editor: Young Jenkins, of Podunk. 

 Why? 



Editor : Why, he says some of the hail 

 stones were as large as canary birds' eggs ; 

 that chap is too honest to be a reporter ; 

 just drop him a line and offer him the 

 position of cashier in this establishment. — 

 Puck. 



I received the canoe you sent me as a 

 premium for 12 subscriptions. It is the 

 third canoe I have had recently. The other 

 2 were canvas and far inferior to my 

 new one in every respect. The ease with 

 which I secured the premium makes it the 

 cheapest canoe I have ever received or ever 

 expect to receive. I thank you sincerely 

 for it. Lin Smith, Indianapolis, Ind. 



Anxious Father (from top of stairs) — 

 Say, Mary Jane ! 



Mary Jane — Yes, papa. 



"Is it eleven o'clock yet?" 



"Yes, papa." 



"Well, give the young man my compli- 

 ments, and ask him to kindly close the 

 front door from the ouiside." — Chicago 

 Daily News. 



"Hello! What's your 'hurry?" 



"I'm going out to Subbubhurst to look 

 at a piece of property a real estate man 

 wants to sell me." 



"Ah! Want to see how the land lies, 

 eh?" 



"Yes. Also how the land agent lies." — 

 Exchange. 



The Syracuse gun you gave me as a 

 premium for 30 subscriptions came prompt- 

 ly. It is a good hard shooter, and I would 

 not take $40 for it to-day. It took me one 

 day to get my 30 subscribers. 



E. L. Benson, Omaha, Neb. 



I received the Harrington & Richardson 

 automatic hammerless revolver and am 

 much pleased with its shooting. It is a 

 handsome weapon, too. 



W. G. Wright, 

 Hawkesbury, Ont, Can. 



The Thompson hunting boots arrived to- 

 day. They are a perfect fit and are just 

 what I wanted. Allow me to thank you 

 for your kindness and promptness in send- 

 ing them. E. S. Mack, Beaver Falls, Pa. 



The Marble pocket axe which you sent 

 me for 3 subscriptions came to hand. It 

 is perfection. 



I. J. Engelson, Watson, Minn. 



Mrs. Myles — "That hat makes your face 

 look short." 



Mrs. Styles — "That's funny. It made 

 my husband's face look long." 



Received the Shattuck gun as a premium. 

 It surpasses my expectations. 



W. T. Adderley, 

 Spokane, Wash. 



Recreation is the best book for amateur 

 photography and outdoor sport that I have 

 ever read. It is everything the 'name im- 

 plies. S. L. Hunt, Stamford, Conn. 



The Indian Paddler canoe arrived in 

 good order. It is a beauty and finely fin- 

 ished. Please accept my sincere thanks. 

 Robert Shirley, Waterloo, N. Y. 



Recreation brings me more enjoyment 

 than any other periodical I read. May the 

 good work go on. 



B. Frayer, Cleveland, Ohio. 



Judge — "You say the defendant turned 

 and whistled to the dog. What followed?" 



Intelligent Witness — "The dog." — Ex- 

 change. 



I received the Shakespeare reel all right, 

 and am well pleased with it.
