(EXTRACTS from LETTERS to tot EDITOR) 



CONCERNING 



FOREST AND STREAM. 



Orangb County, N. Y., Jan., 1882. 

 Ifc is especially pleasiapr to see your deter- 

 mination to elevate field sports iDto manly 

 snd useful recreations, relieving the odium 

 that has attached to such pastime. The high 

 tone that characterizes your journal is most 

 ©iwoiiraging, and when I see articles from it 

 copied in the leading papers, I begin to think 

 that the time is coming when hunting and 

 fishing will no longer be considered fit for 

 lazy men only, but the worn-out professional 

 or business man will become better ac- 

 quainted with nature; when dyspeptics shall 

 get relief, and effeminate pleasure give way 

 *© that which is sound and invigorating. 



Rookland, Me,, Jan. 7, 1883. 

 Would sooner be without my wife's mother 

 ■than Forest and Stream. I like your paper 

 and admire your principles, and the next time 

 T go to New York I mean to call on you.

Wellington, Kansas, .Ian. 18, 1S82. 

 Tour splendid paper is doing a world of 

 good all over the country; and I only wish I 

 could send you a hundred subscribers from 

 our town. It is sadly needed here &. P. T. 



Oskaloosa, Iowa, Jan. 15, 1883. 

 Since 1 have been a reader of your paper 1 

 have been highly instructed and'pleased with 

 the matter contained therein. Especially did 

 article in issue of Dec. 20, " The Ideal Sports- 

 man," please me. I heartily and unreservedly 

 agree with the writer in his definition. I also 

 feel that Forest and Stream is the journal of 

 the nature-loving, ideal sportsman. J. E. S. 



Bristol, Pa., Jan. 10, 1882. 

 Busy men, who have only time for a glance 

 at the markets and the summary of news in 

 the morning paper, invariably give them- 

 selves plenty of time when they sit down to 

 read the Forest and Stream; and there is no 

 doubt that the advertisements each week are 

 about as well scanned as in any journal in 

 the country. I want to thank " Piseco," 

 «nd " Nessmuk," and Ober, and Van Dyke, 

 for the knowledge gained through their pleas- 

 ing communications from what we may term 

 the four corners of the United States, and 

 ■with them are a host of others whose writings 

 are read with pleasure and pront. Herewith 

 find enclosed my usual New Year's greeting 

 of a club of subscribers, which is the only 

 kind of club I shall ever chuck at you.

Little Falls. N. Y, Oct. 31. 1881. 

 Last April, while thinking up a summer's 

 fishing trip, it occurred to me that I might get 

 some useful information in the Forest and 

 Stream. So I subscribed for it. "I'll get it 

 for six months," I said— "see who's gone aDd 

 find out where to go. At the end of that 

 time the fishing will close and after that I 

 won't care for it." I herewith enclose you 

 renewal of my subscription, for either my 

 love of trout fishing has ceased to be supreme, 

 or I have become better educated. Although 

 our trout fishing has gone I don't see much 

 falling off in the fever. I look for Forest 

 and Stream Thursdays as anxiously as last 

 summer when it was brought to me in the 

 woods by my guide, and I must candidly say 

 it's too thorough a sportsman's magazine to 

 be dropped. w. 



Fulton, 111., Jan. 1883. 

 Your paper improves with eveiy issue; the 

 " Sportsman Tourist " and " Natural History" 

 departments are worth many times the Biib- 

 *cription price. D. N. A. 



Chicago, Jan. 1882. 

 Don't see how I can get along without 

 the Forest and Stream. O. K. 



I read your paper with increasing interest 

 at every issue, and consider it the best in the 

 land. I should feel lost without it, especiallv 

 as I can not get much time for actual outdoor 

 ■port with rod, dog and gun. A. P. K. 



Sherbrooke, Canada, Jan. 1883. 

 For the past few months a select sporting 

 -elub of three members has taken the Forest 

 and Stream, and I doubt if any one other 

 copy of your paper is read more thoroughly 

 -or better appreciated. As one of the mem- 

 bers I take upon myself the honor of pre- 

 senting to you the compliments of the club 

 *nd their sincere thanks for the large amount 

 ol entertaining information with which the 

 pap&r is filled Canada. 



Key West, Fla., Jan. 2. 1882. 

 Allow me also to say that I thoroughly 

 ■enjoy your excellent paper; have renewed 

 my subscription, and while some years ago I 

 only bought it occasionally as a luxury, I now 

 look upon it as a necessity as well as a com- 

 fort. Your views upon yacht building are 

 the same adopted (after experience) by the 

 ' oonoh " builders of our fishing boats.
