RECREA TION. 



XXXV 



An amendment to the Constitution of 

 the League has been adopted, providing for 

 life memberships, on payment of $25. We 

 should like to enroll 100 members before 

 April 1st. There are hundreds of men in 

 the League who could just as well become 

 life members as not. A few have already 

 deposited their $25 checks and I trust many 

 others will do so in the near future. The 

 League is sadly hampered in its work for 

 lack of funds. If 100 members should apply 

 for life membership at once it would give us 

 a fund of $2,500, which we sorely need and 

 which could be expended to excellent ad- 

 vantage in pushing the work of game pro- 

 tection. How many life memberships may 

 I report in the May number of Recrea- 

 tion? 



The number of the latest membership 

 card issued, before going to press with this 

 number of Recreation, is 1,376. I hope 

 to be able to report in April Recreation 

 that the number has reached at least 1,600. 

 If each member of the League would do his 

 duty we would make it 3,000 by that time. 



I sold my .25-35 Winchester to an old 

 .45-90 mountain trapper last fall, and met 

 him last week for the first time since. 

 When about 50 yards from me he com- 

 menced to talk thus: 



" Say pard the little gun's a holy terror. 

 The old .45 used to be the stuff, but she 

 don't go no more."

STOP SPRING SHOOTING of WILD FOWL 

 STOP THE SALE OF GAME 



Write your Assemblyman, your Senator, and the 

 Governor. Bury them with postal cards and letters. 

 Let them know you want these things stopped. The 

 other fellows are working — the men who see only the 

 dollar — the market shooter, and the game dealer. Write 

 every week during the session. If every sportsman in 

 the State of New York will do this, our representatives 

 in the Legislature will not dare refuse us.

For Sale: Nickel in the slot Gramo- 

 phone, and one dozen records, in first class
