FOREST AND STREAM.

r6d 



With t.he approach oC a new year it is not necessary to amionnef- .'ii)y ohf^n^ i ioiu' 

 manner of conducting this journal. Just what the Foeest ajsd Stream has been in 1 »' w e 

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

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

 outspoken, 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 inind telling yoii. H; is this: We have not expended om energies in 

 preposterous spread-eagle proclamations of tremendous attrat^tions in the dim and distant 

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

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

 about it, you see. 



Another element of strengl.h is the jealousy with which we have maintained the inher- 

 ent dignity and entire respectability of the pastimes discussed hi 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 ai'e assured by men, whoso good opinion we 

 value, that * hey do not think it necessary to make 



A Weekly Scrutiny 



of the contents of the Pgrbst 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 boasts of our 

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

 which this journal is devoted. 



In other words, the r<>ason why the '^Forest and Stream" is liked 

 by sportsmen is that the Forest and Stream'* i>>i the kind of paper 

 that sportsmen like.
