A WORD IN SEASON. 



Readers old and new of the Forest and Stream fnay be pleased to know that the 

 paper is now at the close of 1886 enjoying the support of a wider circle of friends than at 

 any former period in its history. This is an interesting fact, for it proves, with the best 

 possible demonstration of success, the sound sense of the theory long ago adopted by 

 editors and publishers, and steadfastly adhtred to, that there is room in this country for a 

 journal treating the subjects embraced by our departments, and depending for its support 

 wholly upon what have been accepted by the conductors of the Forest and Stream as 

 legitimate journalistic methods. In other words, we have kept faith with subscribers by 

 devoting our reading columns exclusively to honest reading matter, and have not given up 

 our pages to extended paid puffs of railroad routes clumsily disguised as accounts of sports- 

 men's travel, nor alluring descriptions of wonderful agricultural regions, all paid by the 

 column. The conviction that a sportsman's journal for sportsmen could be conducted 

 without resorting to such questionable makeshift expedients have proved quite correct. 



The tone and high character of the journal, as one fit for sportsmen to receive into their 

 homes, will be jealously maintained. As there is nothing in the recreations of field and 

 stream inconsistent with the highest type of manhood, so, the edi'ors are convinced, there 

 should be in a journal like the Forest and Stream nothing to offend good taste. 



The Forest and Stream will be, in the future as in the past, thoroughly representa- 

 tive of the best field sportsmanship of America. It will maintain its position as the chosen 

 exponent of those who seek recreation with gun or rod, rifle, canoe or yacht. Its character 

 will be scrupulously preserved, and readers in 1887 may expect a rich fund of sporting 

 sketches and stories, suggestions, bright sayings, prompt, reliable news, and interesting 

 discussions. Angler, shooter, dog breeder, canoeist and yachtsman, may be assured that 

 whatever is of interest in these respective fields in 1887 will find its way into the columns of 

 the Forest and Stream. 



The Sportsman Tourist 



columns are filled with bright sketches of travel, camp life and adventure, the reflected ex- 

 perience of a host of outers. 



Natural History. 



Papers descriptive of bird life, chapters of animal biography, notes on the ways of field, 

 forest and water creatures as observed by sportmen, anglers and naturalists, make up these 

 pages. The special work of the past year has been the establishment of the Audubon 

 Society for the Protection of Birds, begun in February, and having now a membership 

 approaching 20,000. 



Angling and Shooting. 



Time was when a single journal sufficed in this country for adpquate discussion of all the 

 heterogenous pastimes and practices dubbed sport. That time has long since passed away 

 Some of the sports have been outgrown or put under a ban, others have developed to such a 

 degree that each class requires a special organ. The particular fields chosen by the Forest 

 and Stream are those of angling and shooting. The pages given up to these topics are 

 rich with the freshest, brightest, most wholesome, entertaining and valuable open air litera- 

 ture of the day. They have the sunlight and woodsy odor of the haunts of game and fish; 

 they picture nature as seen by sportsman and angler. One has not long to read the Forest 

 and StrexVm before learning its attitude with re,«pect to game and fish protection. The 

 editors believe in conserving, by all legitimate methods, the game of fields and woods, and 

 the fish of brook, river and lake, not for the exclusive benefit of any class or classes, but for 

 the public. They are earnest, consistent and determined advocates of strict protection in 

 the legal close season, and in restricting the taking of game both as to season and methods, 

 so that the benefits of these natural resources may be evenly distributed. 



The Kennel. 



This department has kept even pace with the growth of the interest of breeding field 

 and pet dogs. Reports of trials and shows are usually given in the Forest and Stream 

 in advance of other publications, and being prepared by competent writers their intelligent 

 criticisms are of practical utility. This journal is not hampered by personal animosities. 

 It has no j'idges to "kill." It does not decide a dog's merit by asking who the owner is It 

 treats all kennel subjects without fear, favor or ulterior motives, and in consequence enjoys 

 a degree of public confidence and esteem denied to such as stagger beneath the incubus of 

 malice and flounder in the bogs of ignorance. 



Rifle and Trap Shooting 



records scores of meetings and matches, discussions of topics pertaining to the butt, gallery 

 and trap. Secretaries of gun and rifle clubs are invited to send their scores for publication, 



Canoeing. 



This country is a land of magnificent water courses, and Americans are just beginning 

 to appreciate the canoe as a means of enjoying the delectable charms of river and lake, and 

 bay and canal. The men who are making fortunes by making canoes know best how 

 rapidly the ranks of canoeists are multiplying. .Novices and old hands will find in the 

 Forest and Stream canoeing columns, in charge of a practical canoeist, accounts ©f 

 cruises, lines of new craft, and hints and helps and suggestions without number. Closely 

 allied is 



Yachting, 



in which the Forest and Stream is the only competent, all-the-year-round, intelligent 

 exponent. Our reports of races are full, prompt and accurate. The numerous illustrations 

 of lines of new yachts make an invaluable record of the development of yacht building.
