RECREATION. 



At the outbreak of the Spanish war Dr. 

 S e n n forfeited a 

 practice in Chicago 

 that was worth $50,- 

 000 a year to him in 

 order to minister to 

 the suffering sol- 

 d i e r s. President 

 McKinley, r e c o g- 

 nizing the value of 

 the man, promptly 

 commissioned him as 

 chief surgeon of vol- 

 u n t e e r s with the 

 dr. Nicholas senn. rank of lieutenant- 

 Icolonel. Dr. Senn 

 went to Cuba with one of the first trans- 

 ports of troops, and from that day until 

 the close of the war worked incessantly. 

 Many a soldier who is living to-day owes 

 his life to the skill of the great humanita- 

 rian, and now the Colonel has shown his 

 appreciation of the great work the League 

 is doing for humanity by becoming a mem- 

 ber of it. 



The League's emblem is traveling East 

 as well as West. Among the new divi- 

 sions lately organized 

 is that of Rhode Is- 

 land. Zenas W. Bliss, 

 of Providence, is the 

 chief warden. A 

 glance at his por- 

 trait will convince 

 anyone that he is a 

 brainy man and a 

 gentleman. It should 

 be a pleasure to 

 every sportsman in 

 Rhode Island to join 

 hands with such a 

 man as Bliss and to 

 help him in saving 

 Chief Warden Rhode the few remaining 

 Island Div. birds in that State 



from destruction. 

 The Honorable John H. Small, of North 

 Carolina, is another member of Congress 

 who has correct ideas on the subject of 



game protection. He voted for the Lacey

bill and has now joined the League. By 

 this action he has shown that he appreciates 

 the importance of united action and that 

 he values the good 

 work this magazine 

 is doing. 



Two other Con- 

 gressmen have joined 

 the League. These 

 are Amos J. Cum- 

 mings and George 

 W. Ray, both of New 

 York. Mr. Ray re- 

 fers to Dr. J. D. 

 Bryant, of this city, 

 and to the Hon. D. C. 

 Lamont and Speaker 

 Henderson, of the 

 House. 



Hon. L. P. W. Quimby, chief fish, 

 game and forestry warden, of Oregon, 

 has also sent in his application for mem- 

 bership. 



C. E. Lambert, G. P. A. of the West 

 Shore Railroad, is a member of the League, 

 and his number is 2973. He is a very con- 

 servative man, and does not endorse any 

 proposition until he knows it is good. He 

 does not cast his lot with shadows; but 

 when he finds that a body of men are do- 

 ing substantial work for the public good 

 he is ready to assist; and so he has joined 

 the League. 



HON. GEO. W. RAY, 



We stood by the open grave of the great 

 man. 



"Sic transit gloria!" I exclaimed, with 

 emotion. 



"Underground transit, too!" muttered 

 my companion, in a hollow voice. 



I now regarded the fellow more nar- 

 rowly and discovered that he seemed to 

 be an inhabitant of Greater New York and 

 somewhat demented. — Puck.
