screw. Thus, if a shooter has several 

 guns that he wishes to test or to use regu- 

 larly from time to time, he can use the 

 same palm rest on all of them, without 

 any difficulty or loss of time. 



If you have any use for an implement 

 of this kind, write the Great Western 

 Gun Works for an illustrated circular, and 

 say you saw it mentioned in Recreation. 



THE SAVAGE ARMS CO., UTICA, N. Y., HAS

 TURE DESIGN IS BY DAN SMITH A WELL- 

 KMOWN ILLUSTRATOR, AND REPRESENTS 

 A MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY. THE PICTURE 

 HAS ALL THE DASH AND SPIRIT FOR

 RECREATION 



The above was printed in March Recre- 

 ation with the word catalogue substituted 

 for calendar. The Savage people make no 

 charge for their catalogue of guns and 

 now offer to send their 1902 calendar to 

 Recreation readers for 4 cents in stamps. 



Savage Arms Co., Utica, N. Y. 



Dear Sirs : I should like your 1902 cata- 

 logue. I have been shooting a Savage the 

 past 4 years. Have proven conclusively to 

 several prospectors that it is the best on 

 earth. Two years ago Sandy Jack was 

 looking her over, I explaining her points. 

 When we got through Sandy said, "Mac, 

 I can take an armful of rocks and beat that 

 shooting iron ;" but I saw Jack about 2 

 weeks ago. He said, "Well, Mac, I got 

 enough money together at last to get a 

 Savage, and I'm ready to take an even 

 break with anything that wears hair, hide 

 or smells like meat."

Chas. A. Hayden, Oxford, Ohio, has in- 

 vented and put on the market a handy 

 pocket water filter that is sure to become 

 popular among sportsmen. Every man 

 who has ever had to drink muddy or filthy 

 water, or who has had to stand on his head 

 in a spring or a deep brook in order to get 

 a drink of good water will appreciate the 

 filter with a long hose that will allow him 

 to press the button and get a drink of good 

 pure water even from a mud hole, and in 

 a comfortable position. 



Write Mr. Hayden for a circular of the 

 filter, and say you saw it mentioned in 

 Recreation. 



The Western Gas Engine Company, 

 Mishawaka, Ind., builders of Recreation 

 launches and gasoline engines, has issued 

 a beautiful catalogue. It shows a lot of 

 Recreation launches in actual use. They 

 are enough to make any man's mouth water 

 for a chance to get afloat in one of these 



beautiful vessels. If you have any desire 

 to travel in, this delightful way, write 

 these people for a copy of their catalogue, 

 and say you saw it mentioned in Recre- 

 ation. 



Walsrode frequently makes a record for 

 itself when used by expert shooters. It 

 recently won the Grand Prize at Monte 

 Carlo, which is valued at $4,coo. Walsrode 

 also won the Third Prize in the same 

 event, and Grand Prize in the tournament 

 of 1897. No better powder .for all round 

 work is made in the world. Schoverling. 

 Daly & Gales, 302 Broadway, New York, 

 are the American agents for Walsrode 

 and sportsmen's powders. You should 

 communicate with them. 



I get a great many inquiries from 

 Eastern sportsmen for the name and ad- 

 dress of some one dealing in taxidermists' 

 supplies, and all such are referred to Mr. 

 Fred. Kaempfer, 88 State, St., Chicago, 111., 

 If there is a man in New York or any other 

 Eastern city who deals in this class of goods 

 he should advertise in Recreation, and 

 thus get at least a portion of this trade. 



One-thousand-mile books of the Plant 

 System of Railways, good from Washing- 

 ton to Charleston, Savannah, Montgomery, 

 Thomasville, Jacksonville, Tampa, Albany,

 Farnsworth, Eastern Passenger Agent, No.

The Polk Miller Drug Co., Richmond, 

 Va., has issued a new edition of Mr. Mil- 

 ler's book, entitled "Dogs, Their Ailments, 

 How to Treat Them." The text has been 

 revised and some new matter added. Every 

 dog lover should have a copy of this book. 

 All it costs is a postage stamp. 



Columbia Barracks, Cuba. 

 Mr. Henry L. Jespersen, New York. 



Dear Sir: You have treated me so well 

 in the past that I give you the preference 

 in all my orders for sporting goods, if price 

 is satisfactory; also, because you advertise 

 in Recreation. Yours truly, 



CO. Moseley. 



I have received the Syracuse gun you 

 so kindly sent me as a premium for the 

 best sportsman's magazine in the world, 

 Recreation. The gun, the magazine 

 and your good work on game protection 

 are to me the best that are to be had. 

 We have a number of game hogs around 

 here and nothing would do me more good 

 than to test my new Syracuse on some 

 of the old razor-backs. I will do all in 

 my power to build up Recreation and 

 the good cause of fish and game protection.
