RECREATION.

"Been attending the races?" asked the 

 talkative man, addressing the obese pas- 

 senger in the seat ahead. 



"Yes," was the laconic reply. 



"Pick any winners?" queried the garru- 

 lous party. 



"Young man," replied the heavy weight, 

 as he extracted a fifty-cent cigar from a 

 diamond-studded case and proceeded to 

 light it, "I've got a better game than try- 

 ing to pick winners." 



"You don't say !" exclaimed the other. 



"Yes. I'm a bookmaker and pluck the 

 losers. See?" — Chicago News. 



Your magazine suits me better than any 

 other of the kind.

The Savage Arms company, is distrib- 

 uting at the St. Louis World's Fair a 

 novel form of ticket. The Savage 22 cal- 

 iber repeating rifle was exclusively adopted 

 for the Exposition. The rifle certainly de- 

 serves this, as it is a clean-cut little gun, 

 shooting the best of the 22 ammunition. 

 Mention Recreation and a nicely illus- 

 trated catalogue will be sent you, together 

 with 2 or 3 of the tickets above referred to. 

 If you contemplate a trip to St. Louis it is 

 well worth your time to write the Savage 

 Arms Company at Utica, N. Y. This 

 company's very handsome exhibit is in the 

 Manufacturers' Building, Space 9B. Every 

 sportsman should take the opportunity to 

 see the beautiful line of rifles on exhibition 

 there. These are attracting world-wide at- 

 tention for their exquisite workmanship.
