I hasten to thank you for the beautiful 

 Bristol rod you had sent me by the manu- 

 facturers. I am almost ashamed to ac- 

 cept so handsome a present for the few 

 hours I spent in securing 5 subscribers to 

 Recreation, a magazine which should be 

 in the hands of every lover of nature. A 

 friend on seeing my rod, decided at once 

 to try for one. He already has 3 names and 

 doubtless will have the 5 before the week's 

 end. I wish long life and prosperity to 

 Recreation and its fearless editor.

At the Columbus shoot, Columbus, Neb., 

 W. D. Townsend, shooting a Parker gun, 

 scored 96 out of 100, tying for second place 

 in competition for the $100 hammerless gun. 

 W. D. Townsend won the gold medal event 

 with a score of 49 out of 50. Mr. G. A. 

 Schroeder tied with him on the first 25 

 straight, Mr. Townsend winning in the 

 shoot off. Both of these gentlemen shoot 

 the Parker gun. 



"Don't you wish you were as smart as 

 Conan Doyle's detective?" 



"My dear sir," replied the modern detec- 

 tive, "if they'd let me plan the crimes in 

 the first place I could discover the facts in 

 ways quite as extraordinary as those of any 

 detective that an author ever put in a book."

I received the Poco camera which I 

 earned as a premium for subscriptions to 

 Recreation and will try to get some more 

 subscriptions as soon as I can. I like Rec- 

 reation very much. Please accept my 

 thanks for the camera.

I have taken Recreation a long time and 

 I know it is the best magazine of its kind 

 printed. . I do some hunting myself, and 

 next to going to the woods for a day's 

 hunt I enjoy reading Recreation.
