RECREA TION. 



xlv 



Wherever I go among sportsmen I hear 

 them say of Recreation, " I take it, and 

 like it very much! " 



Since I wrote you, one of our ex-County 

 Commissioners called on me. He lives on 

 the well known Sinnamahoning river. He 

 invited me to visit him next spring. Of 

 course, a day's fishing was at once sug- 

 gested; when I had again to hear, that this 

 beautiful mountain river had not a fish in it. 

 Forty years ago, when a boy. I could slip 

 out before breakfast, and catch enough fish 

 to feed a dozen men all day. My friend said 

 to me, angrily, " Why, Colonel, it's an out- 

 rage; a shame; yes, a disgrace to allow 

 this destruction of fish. Last fall we had 

 the finest bass fishing in the country. Two 

 years before you had the stream well 

 stocked, and to-day, not a single fish can 

 be seen nor caught." This comes from the 

 flows of tanneries in adjoining counties.
