FOREST AND STREAM. 
479 
Explanatory and Suggestive, 
FOR THE CASUAL READER. 
Arma virumgue cano—‘Arms and the man I sing.” And, indeed, it would take the genius 
of a Virgil and the roll 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 yet further on. He goes 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 luck 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 it not true that only 
a poet could tell his deeds as they ought to be told? Perhaps so. Perhapsnot. 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 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—him with the rod and gun—might in the end become hackneyed. But it 
isnotso. Why? Well for pretty much the same reason, we venture to say, that the fields them- 
selves and the woods and the lakes.and the streams 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 stiJl 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 
A Journal of Recreation. 
It felis of the recreation found 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 afforded by 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, 
Look through the pages and you will see that the departments include a pretty large field. 
{t is a wide scope of subjects, But if you look carefully you will see that the paper, from front 
cover to back coyer is homogeneous. What is in it belongs init, There is not the mistake of 
trying to foist upon the reader, who is interested in angling and shooting, a lot of stuff about 
horse racing or base ball or prize fights. There is no sawdust-ring odor. Everything is redolent 
of the woods. There are plenty of other papers devoted to the other subjects. If you are 
interested in them, you need hardly spend time to read the rest of this explanatory advertisement. 
The FoREST AND STREAM’S field is broad, but it is not broad enough to take in all creation. 
The editors are perfectly contented with the scope of the paper as it is at present, And now 
A Word About 1885. 
For fifty-two weeks of the year 1885 we propose 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 that have gone 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 have, now and then, a description of such excursions in foreign lands, 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 NOREST 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 coine under the observation of sportsmen in their rambles. This department 
of the Forrest 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, fine-spun 
and terribly dry lucubrations of tbe scientific associations. It is intelligent talk about animal 
lite, intended for intelligent readers. 
In the Shooting and Angling columns(we need hardly say it) will he accounts of hunting 
excursions and fishing trips—with luck, good, bad and 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 Aenne/ will give im 1885 (as it has given in 1884) the earliest, most accurate and the 
only unbiased reports of shows and trials, and it wili 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. 
The Yachting columns are in charge of an expert, whose highest ambition will be to keep 
these departments in the place already won for them in the recognized lead of journalism, 
Though the Canoeiwg 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 is so full of practical suggestions and recountings of cruising experi- 
ences, that a canoeist might almost as jell try to get along without a paddle as without the paper 
in his mail every week, 
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.
