is no better glass made than the Turner-Reich 

 prismatic binocular produced by the Gundlach 

 Manhattan Optical Company, of Rochester, N. Y. 

 They cost more than the old style of field glass 

 but they arc worth all the difference. Write for 

 descriptive circular, and mention Recreation. 



The illustration herewith represents the Savage 

 Model 1905 Target Rifle, which, the manufac- 

 turers claim, met with the most phenomenal sale 

 of any low-priced single-shot that was offered to 

 the trade last year. In fact, the factory was far 

 behind its orders during the entire season. It 

 has exceedingly attractive and symmetrical lines 

 and is fitted with the Savage Micrometer rear 

 sight and ivory bead front sight. Its equipment and 

 accuracy equal rifles that cost twice as much as 

 the price of this rifle. 



The W. H. Mullins Co., of. Salem, Ohio, has 

 just received an order for two of its famous 

 pressed steel boats, to be used on Walter Well- 

 man's proposed trip to the North Pole by airship. 

 It is Mr. Wellman's idea to suspend these boats 

 from his airship. In placing this order with the 

 W. H. Mullins Company, Mr. Wellman paid 

 the company a very high compliment, as he states 

 he had investigated the construction employed by 

 different firms both abroad and in this country, 

 and after visiting the plant of the W. H. Mullins 

 Company, he expressed himself as being satisfied 

 that the Mullins boats were the lightest and at the 

 same time the strongest in the world. The boats 

 being built for Mr. Wellman are 16 feet long 

 with a 4^ foot beam and will weigh less than 300 

 pounds. Lieutenant Robert E. Peary, now on his 

 way to try to reach the Pole, has a Mullins with 

 him on the Roosevelt. 



Investigation is in the air. Like lightning, it 

 is liable to strike anywhere. It shatters some 

 things, like lightning. Others are impregnable; 



For waters difficult of access, Abbey & Imbrie, 

 19 Vesey Street, New York City, offer the Paine 



portable boat. This little craft, when "knocked 

 down," makes a bundle forty-two inches long 

 and seven inches in diameter, and weighs twenty 

 pounds. The manufacturers claim it to be per- 

 fectly seaworthy, and say it can be set up in less 

 than five minutes. Ask for booklet "R." 



the more they are investigated, the more highly 

 they are esteemed. Meisselbach's fishing reels 

 are in the latter class. Investigate them and you 

 are sure to buy one or all of them. Their reels 

 are claimed by them to be the most famous now 

 on the market. Among them are the "Takapart," 

 the "Expert," and the "Featherlight." And not 

 less appreciated by the fishermen is the "Ham- 

 mac" landing net. Write Meisselbach & Bro., 

 17 Prospect Street, Newark, N. J., for their cata- 

 logue and mention this magazine. 



The new two-blade reversible propeller wheels, 

 with detachable blades, made by the Michigan 

 Motor Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., are all the go 

 for the smaller motor boats. Address the Wheel 

 Department and ask for catalogue "R." 



Several months ago, at the suggestion of Eastern 

 capitalists, the Miller Brothers, proprietors of 

 the famous 101 Ranch near Bliss, Okla., opened 

 up a summer camp on their ranch. It was an- 

 nounced that they would take care of a few young 

 men from the East who wished to spend a few 

 weeks and enjoy the open freedom of their large 

 ranch. Accordingly the Millers ordered outfits 

 for fifty campers, but the number now promises 

 to exceed that by four or five times. An ideal 

 camp has been established on Salt Fork River, 

 adjacent to the Osage Indian Nation, where 

 hunting is plentiful and where fishing is good. 

 Zack Miller, known as one of the most expert 

 cowboys on the Southwest plains, has charge of 

 the camp. Later in the season a number of guides 

 will escort the party across the plains in true Wild 

 West fashion — the trip being made in covered 

 wagons, or prairie schooners, with grub wagons, 

 outriders, guides, etc.
