RECREATION. 



back of every bottle as a guarantee. To 

 be honored by the foreigners makes them 

 international favorites. 



I call attention of Recreation readers 

 to the advertisement of John Schweyer & 

 Co., distillers, Chicago, 111. This house 

 ships whisky on orders for one gallon or 

 more, by express, charges prepaid, to all 

 points east of Montana, Wyoming, Col- 

 orado, and New Mexico; or 5 gallons by 

 freight, prepaid, to the Far West. This 

 plan should be convenient for readers con- 

 templating an outing, if whisky is includ- 

 ed in the list of supplies;, as orders placed 

 with this house are forwarded by express 

 or freight the day they are received, and 

 may be consigned to railway point nearest 

 destination. The house is an old and re- 

 liable one, and their immense sales cer- 

 tainly attest the excellence of their goods. 



The Winchester catalogue for 1900 is a 

 whole library of information on rifles, rifle 

 shooting, rifle sights, ammunition and re- 

 loading tools. Everything you can think 

 of in these lines is illustrated in this book. 

 If you read it carefully, from start to 

 finish, you can not fail to learn a lot of 

 things you did not know before. You 

 should send for a copy at once. Address 

 Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New 

 Haven, Conn., and please mention 

 Recreation. 



Carlton, Oregon, June 19th, 1900. 

 Mr. Charles Payne, Wichita, Kansas. 



My dear sir: Some 3 or 4 years since 

 I received from you a shipment of 65 

 or 70 quails. Turned them out on my farm 

 here and they have done remarkably well. 

 We now have a great many quails scat- 

 tered throughout this section of country, 

 with every prospect for their spreading 

 over the entire Willimette valley. 

 Yours truly, 



W. A. Howe. 



The interest in revolver shooting, which 

 has been stirred up by the International 

 Revolver Match, just shot off at Paris and 

 Greenville, N. J., the results being sent 

 by cable both ways, is shown by the de- 

 mand for the French target, which may be 

 had on application to either The King 

 Powder Co. or The Peters Cartridge Co., 

 Cincinnati, Ohio, or to their Eastern De- 

 partment, 80 Chambers street, New York 

 City. 



Mr. W. E. Davis, G. T. M. of the Grand 

 Trunk Railway, tells me his road carried 

 over 40,000 people into the Muskoka dis- 

 trict during the summer and fall. This 

 shows the value of advertising space in 

 Recreation. The Grand Trunk carried a 



full page in this magazine all through the 

 summer and fall, and Mr. Davis says they 

 have been swamped with inquiries for 

 their literature, nearly all mentioning 

 Recreation. 



The Stevens Arms Co. has recently 

 brought out a new 28-30-120 target rifle 

 which has met with favor at the hands of 

 Mr. H. M. Pope, Mr. Herrick, and other 

 well known riflemen. 



The Union Metallic Cartridge Co. 

 has made a cartridge to fit this rifle, and 

 their expert, Mr. U. M. C. Thomas, has 

 pronounced it a success, having made some 

 remarkable targets with it. 



That tireless inventor, Mr. J. H. Bar- 

 low, has now gotten up a tool for extract- 

 ing broken shells from rifles, and every 

 rifleman will bless him for this latest prod- 

 uct of his ingenuity. 



Write the Ideal Manufacturing Com- 

 pany, New Haven, Conn., for a circular, 

 and when you read it you will certainly 

 order one of the extractors. 



Dr. Ashley A. Webber and Mr. S. M. 

 Van Allen shot a match at 100 live birds, 

 at the Interstate Park. Dr. Webber won, 

 killing 97 out of 100; 3 fell out of bounds. 

 Mr. Van Allen killed 95 birds. Both gen- 

 tlemen shot Charles Daly guns. Mr. Van 

 Allen used shells loaded with Walsrode 

 powder. 



Sept. 20th Mr. N. P. Leach resigned his po- 

 sition as General Manager of The Robin Hood 

 Powder Co. on account of ill health. 



I received the No. 44 Stevens rifle, and 

 I never shot such an accurate rifle in my 

 life. I killed a hawk 12 rods away, at the 

 first shot I made with it, and 3 of my 

 friends hit a penny at 10 paces, one after 

 the other, off hand. 



L. E. Haring, Cedar Springs, Mich. 



The Shattuck gun was a surprise, both 

 to my friends and me; also to the jolliers. 

 It is one of the best shooting guns I ever 

 handled, and I don't see how you can give 

 such valuable premiums. 



J. V. Gailor, Mechanicsville, N. Y. 



"Would you call a cat herbivorous, car- 

 nivorous or omnivorous?" asked the man 

 who is learned, but tedious. 



"Neither," answered the man who yawns ; 

 "merely vociferous." — Washington Star. 



The Gundlach camera you sent me for 

 25 subscriptions is beautiful, and I am 

 highly pleased with it. Shall work for 

 Recreation whenever I can.
