I have used several makes of guns, and 

 for fine snooting prefer the Remington. 

 I now have 2 arms of that make. One is 

 a double barrel, 12 gauge, %% pounds, shot 

 gun that seems specially built for No,. 4 

 shot. A harder, closer shooting weapon 

 has yet to be placed in my hands. Last fall 

 I shot a fox at 4 rods with a U. M. C. 

 shell, 3 drams Dupont's smokeless and 

 \% ounces No. 4's ; putting 81 pellets with- 

 in a 4-inch circle, all but 3 passing entirely 

 through the animal. This is one of many 

 such shots. The second gun is a Reming- 

 ton No. 4, .22 caliber. For game or target 

 it is a top notcher. With it I killed 5 

 woodchucks in an hour at 10 to 75 yards, 

 using Winchester .22 long shells. People 

 who think the .22 long is a popgun are 

 mightily mistaken.

YES 



There are other railroads be- 

 tween the east and the west. 



BUT 



it is always well to secure the 

 best you can for the money. 



THEREFORE 



You should bear in mind this re- 

 markof an experienced traveler: 



" For the excellence of its tracks, the 

 speed of its trains, the safety and com- 

 fort of its pitrons, the loveliness and 

 variety of its scenery, the number and 

 importance of its cities, and the uni- 

 formly correct character of its service, 

 the New York Central &° Hudson River 

 Railroad is not surpassed by any similar 

 institution on either side of the Atlantic. ' ' 



Send to George H. Daniels, General Pas- 

 senger Agent, Grand Central Station, New 

 York, a 2-cent stamp for a 52-page illus- 

 trated Catalogue of the " Four-Track Series."
