The FoTuasT and Stream Pdulishtng Company takes pleasure in announcing the immediate publication of a magnificent folio volume, bearing the above title. This book is 

 intended to cover the field of Small Yachts, with special regard to their design, construction, equipment and keep. The opening chapters are devoted to a consideration of the model 

 and the draft, their relations to one another, and the purposes which they subserve. Full directions are given for producing the plans of a yacht with reference to the chief points in 

 design, and the method of taking oH the lines of a boat already built is "likewise described in detail. 



All elements entering into design, such as Resistance, Stability. Balance of Rig, Handiness, Displacement, etc , are dealt with in separate chapters. The rules necessary for the 

 mathematical computations, and a review of theory and practice close the first division of the book. 



The second portion comprises the description of the Plates, covering the whole range of type in small yachts, from the shoal catboat and American centerboard sloop to examples 



plan,and subsequent equipment and proper management. 



The iron work of yachts, their gear, yawls, stearing apparatus, boat building and much other closely related matter is entered upon. The new International Rules of the Road, 

 Signal Service, and a bibliography appear in the Appendix. 



The work is profusely and handsomely illustrated with 150 illustrations inserted in the text, besides the sixty-three plates as follows:

"FOREST AND STREAM SERIES." 



DEER HUNTING. 



BY JUDGE JOHN DEAN CATON. 



BY and by it will be time to bunt antelope and deer. It is 

 always time to read about them. Judge Caton's book 

 on the antelope, elk, deer, moose and cai-ibou of America 

 discusses in a readable way the life history of these animals 

 and the methods of their capture. It is the work of an 

 enthusiastic sportsman who has nad a wide experience and 

 has devoted the leisure of years to studying these interesting 

 game animals. The volume is very fully illustrated, and is a 

 perfect storehouse of information and entertainment. The first 

 edition was sold by the Boston pubhshers at $4. Price $2.50. 



WOODCRAFT. 



BY "NESSMUK." 



A COMPACT pocket handbook of condensed, boiled-down, 

 concise, clear, comprehensive, sensible, practical camp 

 gumption. "Nessmuk" has been "in the woods" in Michigan, 

 New York, Pennsylvania, and South America, and this is a 

 book for outers, wherever they kindle their camp-fire. The 

 author believes in ''smoothing it." He has learned how; now 

 he tells others. It is much easier to learn from "]Sessmuk 

 than from Dame Experience. We should not be surprised if 

 "Woodcraft" completely revolutionized the methods of camp- 

 ing out. If you are going to the woods, i-ead "Woodcraft" 

 before you go. It may add to your trip a hundred fold. 

 Price $1.00. 



DOG TRAINING. 



BY S. T. HAMMOND. 



HE was a promising puppy, and when you turned him over 

 to the breaker to be educated, you thought he was 

 bound to make "the best dog in the world." And you 11 not 

 soon forget how disappointed and disgusted you were when 

 the dog, the breaker and the big bill— aU three turned up 

 together, and you saw that the animal's spirit was broken 

 and it would take a steam calliope to make him mind. Now, 

 this coald not have happened if you had been wise enough to 

 buy a copy of Hammond's book, and in your odd leisure 

 moments train the dog yourself instead of having him 

 broken by some one else. We are selling edition after edition 

 of this book, and it is revolutionizing the system of preparing 

 dogs for work in the field. Price $1.00. 



SHORE BIRDS. 



A PAMPHLET for those who "gun" along Che shore. Tells 

 of: I. Haunts and Habits— Where the bay birds live 

 and what they do at home. TI. Range and Migration— Where 

 they go to breed and where to spend the winter, ill. A

 goto shoot them. VI. Blinds and Decoys— How to shoot 

 them after you have reached the grounds. 45 pp., paper. 

 Price 15 cents. 



ANGLING TALKS. 



BY GEORGE DAWSON. 



AS a poUtical vn-iter of conceded power, Mr. Dawson 

 wielded a trenchant pen; when he terned from the 

 conflict of parties to the praise of the favorite pastime of 

 "simple wise men," his essays, limpid as the crystal streatns, 

 are aglow with the soft summer sunhght and melodious with 

 the songs of birds. When angling was the theme, he wrote 

 from a full heart and in closest sympathy with the scenes and 

 pursuits described. These "Talks" are briniful ot manly 

 wholesome sentiment; there is in them all not a particle of 

 cant. Their sincerity and overflowing spii-it at once wm the 

 reader, and he perforce shares the author's enthusmsm. Ihe 

 effect is magical, like that of the mimic players m Xenophon s 

 Ilernorabilia: he who reads, if he be an angler must go 

 a-fishing- and if he be not, straightway then must he become 

 one— Extract from Publishers' Pi-eface. Cloth, price 50 cents. 



CANOE^"AURORA." 



BY DR. C. A. NEIDE. 



A CHARMINGLY written andalwaj'S entertaining account 

 of a canoe cruise from Lake George, New York, down 

 the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to the Gulf of Mexico, by the 

 Secretary of the American Canoe Association. To read the 

 cruise of the "Aurora" is the next best thing to having made 

 it • and the reading is decidedly more pleasant than would 

 have been participation in some of the misadventures rdated.
