4j£ DAYS 



NEW YORK TO

Nothing cheap about them, but everything

 also a novel and unique descriptive time table of this 

 wonderful train, will be sent free by addressing George 

 H. Daniels, General Passenger Agent, Grand Central 

 Station, New York. 



FROiM NORTHERN MICHIGAN. 



I copy the following from a local paper: 

 " Lake Kegonsa, Wis. 



" A most interesting sight was witnessed 

 here when the different fishing parties be- 

 gan coming in with the result of a few 

 hours' sport. First came the boat contain- 

 ing W. E. McKea, C. R. Stevens and 

 George D. Dunn, all of Moline, 111. These 

 men had taken 30 wall eyed pike, weighing 

 2 to 4 pounds- each. They had been out 

 about 2]/ 2 hours. Then came R. W. Emer- 

 son, of Rockford, 111., with 13 plump pike. 

 Other parties came in with smaller catches. 

 Henry Miller arrived from Stoughton, and 

 will spend several days here. At one time 

 and in one place Mr. Miller and Henry 

 Frankson, of Stoughton, took 176 pike, 

 bass and perch, in 4 hours. At another 

 time Mr. Miller and his brother caught 107 

 perch in one hour." 



Finer catches of trout, bass, perch and 

 other fish are reported from the lakes and 

 rivers of Northern Michigan, than have 

 been known for several years. 



Ed. T. Blossom, Otsego, Mich. 



Yes, but if you allow such slaughter as 

 this to go on, your lake will soon be as fish- 

 less as an alkali pond in the desert. 



I received the Abercrombie tent you sent 

 me as premium, and thank you very much. 

 It is a daisy.
