FOR THE CASUAL READER. 



Anna virumqne cano— "Arms and the man I sine." And, indeed, it would take the genius 

 of a Virgil and ihe roll of Latin hexameters filly to tell the deeds of this man, whose arms are 

 shotgun and fishing rod. Go where you will, he is there. Yon run into him on the crowded city 

 street, encounter him on cars and stenmboais; 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 ail, 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. 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 is better than if it were put into verse between book covers. 



One who dees 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 

 is not so. Why ? Well for pietty 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 ample 

 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 



A Journal of Recreation. 



It tolls of the recreation found by busy men, in out-door, open-air life. It is 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. 

 It is a wide scope of subjects. But if you look carefully you will see that the paper, from front 

 cover to back cover is homogeneous. What is in it belongs in it. Theie 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-riny 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 cteation. 

 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 proposa 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 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 spoitsmen 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, fine-spun 

 and terribly dry lucubrations of the scientific associations. It is intelligent talk about animal 

 life, intended for intelligent readers. 



In the Shooting and Angling columns (we need hardly say it) will he accounts of hunting 

 excursions and fishing trip? — 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 Kennel will give in 1885 (as it has given in rS8j.) the earliest, most accurate anl 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. 



The Yacht'tfig 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 Canoeing inteiest of the country is of comparatively recent giowth, 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 well 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.
