PUBLISHER'S NOTES. 



THE MALCOLM TELESCOPE SIGHT. 

 The Malcolm Telescope Manufacturing 

 Company, of Syracuse, N. Y., believes -it 

 has realized the expectations of the shoot- 

 ing world in perfecting telescopic sights 

 that meet the demands for clear and ex- 

 tended vision and absolutely stable mount- 

 ings, self adjustable to the gun and eye 

 by the purchaser himself. The Company 

 is now ready to manufacture in large 

 quantities its perfected telescopic sights, 

 with long or short tubes, and place them 

 on the market as a commercial article, 

 thereby giving purchasers the oppor- 

 tunity of examining a telescopic sight 

 outfit before buying. To accomplish this 

 change in business methods has necessi- 

 tated radical and perfected changes in 

 mountings. The Company intends to 

 place its goods in the hands of the dealers 

 in cities of the United States as fast as 

 possible; but if anyone about to buy a 

 telescopic sight outfit finds the local 

 dealer does not handle the Malcolm goods, 

 the telescope and mountings, separate or 

 adjusted to any make of rifle or pistol, 

 can be obtained by writing the Malcolm 

 Telescope Manufacturing Company di- 

 rect, at Syracuse, N. Y. 



SETON PORTFOLIO. 



Chas. Scribner's Sons, 153 Fifth Ave., 

 this city, have published a portfolio of 12 

 of E. T. Seton's best known and most 

 striking pictures of wild animals. The 

 size of the pictures is 10 x 14 on cardboard 

 mounts 14x21 inches, and the set sells 

 for $6. The pictures were prepared for 

 reproduction under Mr. Seton's personal 

 supervision and are in 4 printings by a 

 new and effective process which gives each 

 plate the freshness and attractiveness of the 

 original drawing. The subjects are: 



Lobo — the Wolf; Johnny Bear; The 

 Sandhill Stag; The Buffalo; Courtaut— the 

 Wolf; Family Life— the Bears; Lito — the 

 Coyote; Lito and Brood; The Grizzly 

 Bear; The Fox; The Kangaroo Rat; The 

 Coons ; Krag — the Kootenay Ram. 



Considering the fine quality and size of 

 the pictures the price is exceedingly low. 

 All these pictures are suitable for fram- 

 ing and no doubt every sportsman who 

 buys a set will frame at least some of 

 them. Write for a circular and say you 

 saw them mentioned in Recreation. 



A RAILROAD FOR CAMPERS. 

 Dr. J. N. Hall, of Denver, Colo., author 

 of the excellent article printed on pages 

 279, 280, 281 and 282 of this issue of 

 Recreation, is one of the best known 

 physicians in the West. He has handled 

 this subject in a masterly way, and every 



man and woman who is suffering from 

 overwork or from too close confinement 

 within doors, should read Dr. Hall's 

 article. No one can fail to realize the 

 benefit of mountain camp life after doing 

 so, and the doctor's arguments should 

 induce thousands of weary people to go 

 to the mountains this summer. 



The C. R. I. & P. Ry. Company is pay- 

 ing special attention to the wants of people 

 who are seeking good camping places in 

 Colorado, and everyone interested in this 

 question should write John Sebastian, 

 G. P. A., Chicago, for information. 



CONCERNING PROCTORS. 



Proctor's, Newark, opened to the public 

 Jan. 6, and the attendance has been phe- 

 nomenally big ever since. 



In Montreal a permanent stock com- 

 pany has been established. The best 

 comedies and dramas will be presented, 

 with vaudeville between the acts. 



Proctor's, Albany, will continue to pre- 

 sent the best vaudeville the market af- 

 fords. At Proctor's 23d Street, New 

 York, continuous vaudeville rules. The 

 5th Avenue, 58th Street and the 125th 

 Street will have dramatic presentations 

 by the Proctor Stock Companies. Vaude- 

 ville of the best grade will be presented 

 between the acts. 



Sunday concerts rule at all Proctor's 

 New York City Theatres. Refined vaude- 

 ville is presented continuously after 2 p. m. 



Geo. F. Webber, Detroit, Mich., has 

 issued an interesting catalogue of his knit 

 jackets, sweaters, jerseys, golf coats and 

 hunting shirts, copy of which every sports- 

 man should have. There are few men 

 or boys or women or girls who engage in 

 any kind of outdoor sports who would not 

 find something illustrated in this catalogue 

 that they would want. Mr. Webber 

 started about 5 years ago making shooting 

 jackets only, and began advertising them 

 in Recreation. They have been repre- 

 sented there nearly every month from 

 that day to this and as a consequence 

 his business has grown until he now 

 makes a large line of goods that are in 

 constant demand by lovers of the outdoor 

 world. Write him for a catalogue, and 

 say you saw it mentioned in Recreation. 



The Great Western Gun Works, Pitts- 

 burg, Pa., have made and put on the mar- 

 ket a palm rest for rifle shooters, which is 

 destined to prove popular among target 

 shooters. It is a novelty in that it may be 

 instantly attached to or detached from 

 any rifle on the market. It clamps on the 

 trigger guard or finger lever, as the case 

 may be, and is fastened by a thumb
