FOREST AND STREAM. 
Ayma virumgue cane—‘ Arms and the man I sing.” And, indeed, it would take the genius 
of a Virgil and the rol] of Latin hexameters fitly to tell the deeds of this man, whose arms are 
shotgun and fishing rod, Go where you will, he is there. You run into him on the crowded city 
street, encounter him on cars and steamboats; he perches atop the country stage. bestrides the 
burro, and doubles up like a jacknife in the kanim. Seek out the most distant, most tortuous 
streams, his line has been wet in their waters; penetrate into the wilderness, the tin can of the 
sportsman’s camp is yel further on. He does for game—if the fates shall send anything within 
reach of his ammunition; for fish—if by good fortune a trout shall rise to his fly or descend to 
his worm. But, good luek or bad luck, game or no game, fish or no fish, fun always, fresh air, 
ozone, quicker pulse beat, brighter eye, more elastic step-—all the multitudinous rewards, which 
after all outweigh the biggest “bags,” and tip up the longest “‘strings.” Is is not trne that only 
a poet could tell his deeds as they ought to be told? Perhaps so. Perhaps not. He can usually 
tell them himself. And he does, with a thousand different pens, in a thousand different ways. 
You may read it in the ForEsT AND STREAM. 
And that, after all, is better than if it were put into verse between book covers. 
One who does not understand these things might imagine that after being told so often, this 
story of the man—the man with the rod and gun—might in the end become hackneyed, But it 
isnotso. Why? Well for pyetty much the same reason, we venture to say, that the fields and 
the woods and the lakes and the streams themselves never become hackneyed. However that 
may be, one thing is certain. Our columns every week, and month after month, give ampie 
proof that there is still an abundance to tell of what is seen and what is done afield and on 
angling waters; and that hosts of people still delight to read the telling, our subscription books 
show with ever increasing emphasis. 
The FOREST AND STREAM is in the best sense of the term 
A Journal of Recreation. 
It tells of the recreation founil by busy men, in out-door, open-air life. It zs recreation to 
these same men and to others. Explain it how you will, this recreation found in the pages of the 
ForEST AND STREAM is different from the diversion of other papers. Why? Because (it may be 
answered again) the recreations of field and stream are always ten times more potent for good than 
are those found in almost any other way. And now 
A Word About 1885. 
For fifty-two weeks of the year 1885 we pronose to publish the ForEsT AND STREAM, and 
to fill each number with the same rich abundance and variety of reading that may be found in 
this present number or in any one of the five hundred numbers before it. 
There will be the same delightful accounts of the adventures and misadventures of the 
Sportsman Tourist, and whether the ‘tour’ be across a continent or only across the pasture lot 
into the woods beyond, the story in either case will be well worth the time it takes to read it. 
We shall haye, now and then, a description of such excursions in foreign countries, but for the 
most part these columns will deal with what is seen and done in our own country, for that, after 
all, is what the readers of FOREST AND STREAM are rightly presumed to be most interested in. 
The Natural History columns will give attention to varied forms of animal life, more parti- 
cularly such as may come under the observation of sportsmen in their rambles. This department 
of the ForEST AND STREAM we believe to hold a place altogether unique, It is neither the 
dime-museum sort of un-natural history affected by the newspapers, nor the abstruse and fine-spun 
lucubrations of the scientific associations. It is intelligent talk about animal life, intended fot 
intelligent readers. . 
In the Shooting and Angling columns (we need hardly say it) will be accounts of hunting 
excursions and fishing trips, with luck, good, bad or indifferent; discussions about matters 
mechanical, ethical, sentimental, fanciful and practical; some, after much debating, will be 
settled; others will be left (and the reader with them) at the end just where they were at the 
beginning. 
The Kennel will give in 1885 (as it has given in 188.1) the earliest, most accurate and the 
only unbiased reports of shows and trials, and it will be the endeavor of the editors to maintain 
for the FOREST AND STREAM in this special branch the position it now holds away in advance 
of anything else published in this country. 
Though the Canoeizg interest of the country is of comparatively recent growth, the FoREST 
AND STREAM fully appreciating its importance, has provided for those who sail or paddle a (pretty 
generous) corner, which—but is it not known and read of all canoeists? Equal pains will be 
taken to maintain the high position of the paper with respect to its Yachting columns, now 
recognized—not only in this country, but abroad as well—as the leading department of the kind 
in the world, 
In a word—this is what we started out to say—in 1885 the FOREST AND STREAM will be 
newsy, bright, wholesome—a journal of out-door recreation.
