RECREATION.

The Multiscope & Film Company, Bur- 

 lington, Wis., makers of the famous Al- 

 Vista camera, have lately put out a new 

 catalogue that is really remarkable. It 

 contains a series of panoramic pictures, 

 made with the Al-Vista, that are revela- 

 tions. There is one view of a flock of 

 sheep grazing in a pasture, and another of 

 a flock of children gathering daisies, both 

 of which are marvels of beauty. These cuts 

 are 4^2 by 12 inches, and each picture in- 

 cludes a stretch of country of, I should 

 say, 200 yards in width, all taken at one 

 swing of the swing lens. Every object 

 within this field is as sharp on the plate 

 as if it had been the sole point aimed at. 



All lovers of beautiful pictures should 

 write for copies of this exquisite piece of 

 work, and should mention Recreation. 



Houston, Texas. 

 National Projectile Works, 



Grand Rapids, Michigan-: 

 Dear Sirs : — While on a hunting trip in 

 the Rocky mountains, I had 2 dozen of 

 your lubricated wire patched bullets that 

 had been sent me as samples for use in a 

 Savage rifle. With this ammunition I 

 made a double on elk, killing 2 bulls out 

 of one band, and at a single shot each. I 

 also killed a large brown bear with another 

 one of your wire patched bullets. I learned 

 of these cartridges in the first place through 

 your ad* in Recreation, and I recommend 

 them to hunters as being all that is de- 

 sired. The ball mushrooms just right for 

 making killing shots.

In September Recreation I printed a 

 paragraph which contained 2 unfortunate 

 errors. I spoke of the Kenwood traps as 

 being made by the Oneida Company, of 

 Kenwood, New York. I should have said 

 the Newhouse traps and the Oneida Com- 

 munity. However, both institutions are so 

 well known to the readers of Recreation 

 that it is not likely anyone who read the 

 notice was misled by it. Every reader of 

 this magazine knows the Oneida Com- 

 munity and the Newhouse traps. Both are 

 old timers, and there is scarcely a man or 



boy in the land who is fond of the woods 

 who has not used Newhouse traps, or seen 

 them used. However, this correction is 

 due to the good, honest, sturdy people who 

 comprise the Oneida Community. 



Great attention is given by athletes to the 

 character of the brushes, sponges, lini- 

 ments and soaps tney use. Fairbanks 

 Glycerine Tar Soap has found a popular 

 place because it not only cleanses, but 

 soothes and invigorates. Football players 

 find that it does far more than the average 

 liniment to allay the pain from bruises ; and, 

 of course, it removes grime as none of the 

 liniments can do. With the athlete per- 

 haps more than with anyone else it has a 

 wide range of usefulness, removing from 

 his hair the dust which collects through the 

 violent character of his exercise. Its con- 

 venient shape and lasting qualities make it 

 economical. Try it yourself if you have not 

 already done so. At the grocers, 5 cents a 

 cake. 



The latest number of the New York 

 Central's "Four-Track Series," No. 35, is 

 devoted to "Historical Pilgrimages about 

 New York." Besides containing a map of 

 New York from the Battery to Newburgh, 

 printed in colors, and a brief description 

 of a large number of historic points and 

 buildings, it explains how teachers with 

 their classes can make pilgrimages of 3 to 

 12 hours and see a great deal that is of im- 

 mense interest and value to them in their 

 studies of geography and history. A copy 

 will be sent free, postpaid, on receipt of a 

 2-cent stamp, by George H. Daniels, Gen- 

 eral Passenger Agent, New York Central 

 Railroad, Grand Central Station, New 

 York.

 London, Ohio. 

 Dear Sirs : — 



The J. C. Hand Trap duly received and 

 I am much pleased with it. By using the 

 trap on the side of a hill and throwing 

 all angles, one can learn more about field 

 shooting in an hour than in a .month's 

 actual practice on game. 



Wishing you the success your trap merits, 

 I remain, Sincerely yours, 



Chauncey M. Powers.

 Messrs. Wing & Son: 



After a thorough test of the Wing piano 

 for the past 4 years I subscribe myself as 

 its most ardent advocate. It has a powerful 

 and beautiful tone. A piano must be a 

 good one to stand the pounding it receives
