HALLOCK’S 
FISHING TOURIST. 
The Fishing Tourist: Angler’s Guide and Reference 
Book. By Charles Hallock, Secretary of the 
Blooming-*Grove Park Association. Illustrations. 
Crown 8 vo, Cloth, $2.00. 
Mr. Charles Hallock is one of the few gentlemen 
who write a book mainly for the reason that they have 
something to write about—have something to tell the 
public which the public desires to know. Mr. Hallock 
learned how to use the pen in the exacting rounds of 
a newspaper office, and being a traveler, a patient stu¬ 
dent of nature, and a practical angler, easting his fly 
on many waters, he acquired a rich fund of informa¬ 
tion; and as he lias written down this information in 
a terse and yet graceful style, he deserves the rare 
commendation of having made a book which is worth 
the price asked for it. The book is called “The Fish¬ 
ing Tourist,” and the title is not a misnomer. The 
shortest routes to pleasure are laid down, and Correct 
information as to the best means of conveyance, the 
expense of the trip, the secrets of the commisariat, 
&c. The author has avoided the use of technical 
terms, and thus made his volume all the more accept¬ 
able to the majority of readers.— Turf Field and Farm, 
New York. 
Mr. Hallock has made amost reliable and entertain¬ 
ing book. By those who are in strong sympathy with 
him as lovers of the sports about which he discourses 
so charmingly, the work will he eagerly sought after.
