RECREATION. 



My eyes were 

 first opened (they 

 have remained 

 open ever since) 

 to the pre-emi- 

 nent goodness of 

 the Shakespeare 

 Reel, in Florida 

 last winter. On 

 the St. John River 

 there lived in a 

 certain narrow 

 channel and in 

 seeming safety, a 

 t h umpi ng b ig 

 bass. A dense 

 growth ofimpene- 

 trable bush' s on 

 eich shore and a 

 vast accumulation 

 of drift-wood 

 above and below, 

 "stood off" all 

 the crack bait 

 casters in our 

 party. One even- 

 ing on coming out from dinner we found on the porch the 

 record hsh of the season — and the man who took it. 

 He told me that he had crawled out to the extreme edge 

 of the v.pper drift-wood and easily delivered a minnow at 

 headquarters with his first cast. 



Then he showed all of us the Shakespeare Quadruple 

 Multiplying Reel, and when I left for home two weeks 

 later, we had among us cleaned out that particular chan- 

 nel, each of us having purchased for $15.00, a similar 

 Reel in the interim. You can post yourself on this 

 superlative Reel by addressing
