FOREST AND STREAM. 



A FAMILIAR TALK. 



With the approach of a rew year it is not necessary to announce any change in our 

 manner of conducting this jom-nal. Just what the Forest and Stream has been in 1885 we 

 hope to make it in 1886. It will be run on the same old principles, tested by experience and 

 approved by prosperity. It will be just as entertaining, just as instructive, just as frank and 

 outspokeo, and just as helpful. 



We are sometimes asked to explain the reason of the Forest and Stream's constantly 

 widening influence and prosperity. Well, there is no 



Trade-Secret 



about it, and we do not mind telling you. It is this: We have not expended our energies in 

 preposterous spread-eagle proclamations of tremendous attractions in the dim and distant 

 future, but have pinned our faith to present performance, each week, and fifty-two weeks 

 in the year. This in the kind of jouj nalispa that is bound to succeed. Nothing very occult 

 about it, you see. 



Another element of strength is the jealousy with which we have maintained the inher- 

 ent dignity and entire respectability of the pastimes discussed in these pages, and the 

 extreme care we have taken to keep the tone of the columns such as renders the paper fit 

 for any man to receive into his family. We are assured by men, whose good opinion we 

 value, that they do not think it necessarj^ to make 



A Weekly Scrutiny 



of the contents of the Forest and Stream before venturing to lay it on the family table, 

 We determined, years ago, that a clean paper must win its way among sportsmen (not 

 "sporting men"). The fact that it has done so is now cited, not that we may boast of our 

 own prescience, but as a most gratifying evidence of the high standing of the field-sports to 

 which this journal is devoted. 



In other words, the r4>ason why the <' Forest and IStream*' is liked 

 by sportsmen is that the ^'Forest and Stream" is the bind of paper 

 that sportsmen like. 



This, as we have said before, is complimentary all around. A third element of the paper's 

 popularity is this: It has some hundreds of correspondents and contributors, who write for 

 it because they have something to say.
