PUBLISHERS' NOTES.

You will get more orders from here as all 

 my friends are enthusiastic over it. 



Yours truly, Jno. F. Perkins. 



The 1904 edition of "Fishing on the 

 Picturesque Erie" has just been issued by 

 D. W. Cooke, General Passenger Agent of 

 that road. The book is brimful of infor- 

 mation, as usual, and every Eastern angler 

 should have a copy of it, whether or not 

 he may intend to fish on the Erie. There 

 are dozens of pictures in this book that 

 will make an angler's mouth water, and it 

 is a great satisfaction to know that if you 

 ever do get 2 days in a bunch when you 

 are not compelled to work, you can pack 

 your grip, step on an Erie train and in 3 

 or 4 hours be next to the black bass. 



In writing for the book, please mention

The Century Camera Company has issued 

 a new catalogue in which amateur photog- 

 raphers will find much to interest and in- 

 struct them. The book is beautifully and 

 elaborately illustrated with photographs of 

 a variety of subjects, made with Century 

 cameras. It also contains illustrations of 

 all the Century cameras and a great deal 

 of valuable text. A new feature of the 

 Century line is the revolving back, which 

 is certainly a great improvement over the 

 old form of reversible back. This new de- 

 vice is fully described and illustrated in the 

 new book. Write for a copy, to the Cen- 

 tury Camera Company, Rochester, N. Y., 

 and mention Recreation.

 Dear Sirs : 



Our 4 H. P. Jump Spark engine bought 

 of you last spring has exceeded your guar- 

 antee in every respect. It is simple, strong 

 and absolutely safe and reliable. 



There are 15 gasoline and 3 steam 

 launches owned here, of one to 7 H. P., 

 and my launch, the Russell G., has led the 

 entire lot the whole season. 



Thanking you for your generous treat- 

 ment, I remain, 



Yours truly,

The Marble Safety Axe Co., of Glad- 

 stone, Mich., has put out a new model 

 knife called the special hunting knife. It 

 has a straight bevel ground blade, with 

 bone chopper at back of point, and the 

 blade is a quarter of an inch thick. There 

 are 2 oblong recesses in the sides of 

 tang, thus making the knife balance per- 

 fectly. The side plates are selected slabs 

 of German stag horn This blade is 5 inches 



long and the knife sells at $2.50. This new 

 knife is illustrated in Marble's latest cata- 

 logue, which also illustrates and describes 

 many other handy tricks for sportsmen. 

 Get a copy of it, and mention Recreation. 



W. R. Crosby, one of the champion shots 

 of the world, was treated to a surprise re- 

 cently in Atlanta, Ga. Despite a heavy 

 wind, amounting almost to a gale, Mr. 

 Crosby broke 94 out of 100 clay birds, a re- 

 markable record under such adverse cir- 

 cumstances, yet he was beaten by one bird, 

 as Mr. Worthen smashed 95 of the clay 

 flyers. 



The battle between these 2 men was a 

 right royal one, and Mr. Worthen and the 

 Parker gun achieved a triumph of no mean 

 merit. Mr. Worthen used, as he always 

 uses, the Old Reliable Parker gun. 



I wouldn't take a dollar for it, says a man 

 who owns a copy of Polk Miller's book, 

 "Dogs." A copy of this book only costs 3 

 cents in stamps to cover expense of mail- 

 ing. No dog man or kennel owner should 

 be without it. When you haven't it, you'll 

 need it most, therefore write now to the 

 Polk Miller Drug Co., Richmond, Va., for 

 a copy. Don't fail to enclose 3 cents in 

 stamps to pay postage. This same firm will 

 charge you nothing whatever to prescribe 

 for your sick dog. In writing them, please 

 mention Recreation. 



Marble, the axe manufacturer of Glad- 

 stone, Michigan, has invented an aluminum 

 knife sheath protector that is interesting 

 and that will certainly prove useful. The 

 aluminum sheath slips into the inside of 

 any of his leather sheaths and prevents the 

 knife from cutting into the leather. This 

 metal lining costs only 15 cents postpaid. 

 Make a diagram of your hunting knife, 

 send it to Marble with 15 cents in stamps, 

 and you will get the trick by return mail. 

 In writing, please mention Recreation. 



The Savage 22 caliber junior single shot 

 rifle has just been placed on the market by 

 the Savage Arms Company, Utica, N. Y. 

 It shoots the C. B., short, long and long 

 rifle cartridges, and, as with all Savage 

 rifles, has some new mechanical features. 

 It is an excellent little gun to take into 

 camp or away on your vacation, as a com- 

 panion piece to your big game rifle. The 

 little rifle goes nicely into your pack and 

 is well worth the price for which it sells, 

 $4. The same Savage quality all through.
