IT BEA rS the Dutch how this work of mine is growing ! Now I have had to 

 throw over a cruise on one of the crack boats of the New York Yacht Club, in 

 order to look after the interests of my subscribers. Uncle Sam will have to put 

 on more men at the Madison Square Branch Post Office if this avalanche of mail 

 continues. Well, I have made lots of people happy, and that is worth living for„ 



FOR I am permitted to offer the schooner yacht Adrienne, 60 ft. o.a., 45 

 o at r ft. w.L, 17 ft. beam,, 5 ft. 2 in. draught, with board up. She is in 

 first-class shape, has two staterooms, is fully found and very fast and 

 able. She has recently been provided with a Giant motor. She was on the 

 New York Yacht Club cruise this year and has been the flag ship of the South- 

 ern Yacht Club. Her owner took her all around the West Indies, yet she can 

 be handled with a sailing master, cook and two men before the mast. She has 

 been driven 140 miles in 12 hours on Chesapeake Bay. She has accommodations 

 for eight. The price asked is $3,000, which is just about what has been spent 

 on her during the last two seasons. Those desiring further particulars, with 

 a view to purchase, should correspond with H. Mason Clapp, Union League, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



WE ALL LOVE THE COUNTRY, but only a 

 * few of vis seem able to live in it, though 



we generally end by going there after the doctor 

 gets through with us. 



If any Recreation reader desires to give up a 

 part of his time to the contemplation of Nature in 

 her most bewitching moods, and can spare the time 

 to take a run of 95 minutes from the Grand Central 

 Depot, I wish to have an opportunity of telling 

 him more about a little country property that I 

 wot of. 



Surrounded by miles of woodland (well stocked 

 with game), with forty-six acres of land, thirteen 

 of which are timbered; house and barn; New York 

 papers delivered at 8.30 every morning by R. F. D. 



This property will assuredly be snapped up just 

 as soon as the September issue of Recreation is out.

A BOUT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR I find my 

 "**• mind wandering to what the poets call "the 

 leafy glades," but what an old friend of mine used 

 to call "that 'ere pesky cedar swamp." They say 

 this is a good year for ruffed grouse, alias "part- 

 ridge," and, by the way, I know where there are 

 a couple of seven months' old Setter Pups that 

 are just about right for breaking. Who wants them?

TTHE TYPICAL GERMAN dog is the Dachshund, 

 and no doubt they are very intelligent, in- 

 defatigable companions. Three of the largest deal- 

 ers in the country have told me to advertise their 

 dogs. I only did this after receiving permission 

 to quote bargain-counter prices. Step up, gentle- 

 men; but don't crowd!

■pERTILE FARM LANDS— A man who has 

 -*- selected 18,000,000 acres for big corporations 

 without making a single mistake, asks me to say 

 that he will pick some of the finest lands in the 

 Northwest Territories of Canada for purchasers 

 able to pay spot cash. Moreover, he will be satis- 

 fied with a very reasonable commission. He can 

 point to results that seem almost incredibly good. 

 Are you interested?

TTHE L. C. SMITH HAMMERLESS is standard.

 good deal less than it cost, and another of a $45

HERE IS NO FROST in the air to-day, and 

 Furs seem a trifle out of season; yet it will 

 not be very long before there will be that nipping 

 eagerness in the air that our old friend Wm. Shake- 

 speare mentioned in one of his contributions to 

 "The Ladies' Home Journal." When you are look- 

 ing for a nice set of furs for the wife, write to 

 me for prices. I have several men trapping for 

 me, and I think I can let you have furs a little 

 cheaper than anybody else can.
