RECREA TION. 



XXV 



GETTING READY FOR THE SHOW. 



The preparations for the sportsmen's 

 show are progressing satisfactorily. The 

 water tournament is to be a great feature. 

 Engagements have been completed with 

 the amateurs for the evening sports; with 

 the experts for the afternoon entertainment, 

 and with the high divers. The responses 

 from the colleges and clubs are entirely sat- 

 isfactory and the prominent amateur ath- 

 letes who have been asked to act as judges, 

 etc., have with few exceptions expressed a 

 willingness to devote themselves entirely to 

 the interests of the show. We have just 

 completed arrangements with the Page 

 Woven Wire Fence Co., of Adrian, Mich., 

 as to the preparation of the game park, and 

 besides a number of heads of big game we 

 have a carload coming from Michigan, 

 among which are buffalo, deer and ante- 

 lope. Caribou and moose we are also sure 

 of, and we shall no doubt have beaver and 

 otter. This feature is under the special 

 charge of Dr. H. R. Bishop. 



The game bird exhibit will be complete. 

 The game fish exhibit will be as complete 

 as Quebec, Vermont, the State of New 

 York, the Adirondack Hotel League, the 

 State Fish and Game Commission and the 

 New York Aquarium can make it. Mr. 

 Follett, who is well known as a fish cultur- 

 ist, will have charge of this feature. 



The Water Sports will be in charge of a 

 committee of experts in this line. 



The main floor will be occupied by the 

 Quebec Government, the Adirondack 

 Hotel League, the New Brunswick Gov- 

 ernment, the State of Maine, the Megantic 

 Club, the Canadian Pacific Railway Co., 

 the Maine Central, and the Bangor & 

 Aroostook, who will transform it into a for- 

 est, a series of camps, game corrals, etc. 



The rifle range will be under the charge 

 of Zettler Brothers, as in previous years. 

 They will also manage the revolver range, 

 which will be located directly over the rifle 

 range in the pony stall. 



There will be a scene at the back part of 

 the Garden 87^2 feet long by 55 feet high, 

 representing one of the great Canadian 

 glaciers. In front of this will be the Indian 

 Village, where Indians will show their na- 

 tive occupations, making canoes, baskets 

 of birch bark, etc. They will also be em- 

 ployed a part of the time on the lake, giving 

 illustrations of fish-spearing, log-rolling, 

 canoeing, etc. 



It is the intention of the management 

 that the decorations will be in conformity 

 with sportsmen's ideas. There are many 

 other features under consideration that will 

 make this show probably the best that has 

 ever been held in this country. It certainly 

 embodies features that have never been at- 

 tempted at any other show, and will be the 

 only Sportsmen's Show in this country in 

 1899. No exhibit will be admitted to the 

 Garden except such as strictly pertain to 

 outdoor sports. Houses that deal in sports- 

 men's goods should apply for space at 

 once, or they are likely to be left out. 



Indigestion Has Mo Terrors For Hint 



That salt-shaker is filled with Pepsalt. 

 It cures and prevents indigestion. 



DFD^A I T is the best of table salt, into every 

 • s^**&J*Sm m grain of which is incorporated di- 

 gestive substances natural to the stomach. Fill your 

 salt-cellar with Pepsalt and use it in place of salt at 

 your meals. If you have indigestion your stomach does 

 not supply the necessary amount of the dissolving or 

 digestive juices. Pepsalt taken in place of salt at your 

 meals makes good this deficiency, as you take with every 

 mouthful of your food a similar substance to that which 

 is required and at the right time, and your indigestion is 

 a thing of the past. Send for sample in salt-shaker bottle 

 and try it. Price 25 cents, postpaid.
