FOREST AND STREAM, 



179 



Explanatory and Suggestive. 



FOR TIE CASUAL READER. 



Arma virumque 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. 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 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 

 is not so. 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 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 tells 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 

 fit 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. 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. 



In a word — this is what we started oai to say— in 1885 the Forest and Stream will be 

 newsy, bright, wholesome— a journal of out-door recreation.

Old Saint Augustine. 



By CHARLES B. REYNOLDS (Forest and Stream). 



HE famous Florida town's three centuries have been crowded with romantic incidents; and 

 a story of wonderful interest is this, with its Huguenots and Spaniards, Franciscan Fathers, 

 English Sea Kings, Boucaniers, Minorcans, Liberty Boys, 

 and Seminoles. It is told vividly, in the briefest possible 

 compass, with strict historical accuracy, and with an enthu- 

 siasm that is manifest from the very first page to the last. 

 Among the illustrations are copies of some of the very rare 

 drawings by Jacques Le Moyne, the French artist, who so 

 narrowly escaped massacre by the Spaniards in Florida, three 

 hundred years ago. Another very rare engraving is the plan 

 of the city in British times. The artotypes (or photographs 

 in permanent ink) are among the most beautiful book illus- 

 trations of the day. They are made from negatives taken 

 expressly for " Old St. Augustine," and are: Fort Marion 

 (four views), the Matanzas Fort, the City Gateway, the 

 Cathedral, the old Palm-tree, Garden Overlooking Plaza, and 

 two very characteristic St. Augustine Houses. Cloth, pp. 144, 

 8vo. Price, $1.50. Forest 'and Stream Publishing Co.
