FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Jan. 10, 1689. 



From No. 318 Broadway will be sent out weekly in the year 1889 a paper rilled in all its 

 departments with reading; matter acceptable to those who find pleasure in the pursuit of 

 field sports. The popularity of these pastimes was never greater than it is to-day; numbers 

 of men who find rational relaxation in the field were never larger; the hold these recreations 

 have on the public has never been firmer than now. It is a pleasure to add that in this 

 measure of public esteem the Forest and Stream shares to the full. 



Mr. Henry MaeDonald, whose descriptions of "Early Days on the Missouri" were so 

 well received last summer, will supplement them with further 



Sketches of Frontier Life. 



. Pertaining to the same field will be a paper by Mr. J. "W. Schultz describing the 

 ancient importance of the Fort Benton Fur Market. The same writer will furnish a con- 

 tinuation of his valuable Blackfoot studies, among the titles of which may be named "A 

 War Party" and "The Origin of the Medicine Pipe." 

 Rich treasure from this inexhaustible field of 



Indian Folk Lore and Life 



will be laid before our readers by the veteran "Yo," whose Pawnee legend of The Dun Horse 

 will be followed by others in a like happy vein ; and from the same pen will come a rarely 

 interesting — because vivid and racy — account of 



The Summer Hunt of the Pawnees, 



in the old buffalo days. There will be sketches by the author of "Sam Lovel's Camps," 

 distinguished for the same inimitable character studies of the Danvis folk, the close insight 

 into nature, and delicious vignettes of word-painting. Under the title, 



A Breath from the Maine Woods, 



will be described the angling experiences of a Boston party at Moosehead, by "W. A. B.," 

 whose sketches of a fisherman's life in Maine have been received with so much favor. 



The pages devoted to the delightful subject of Natural History will not be less full and 

 interesting for the coming year than in the' past. Among the special papers for which we 

 lhave arranged are a continuation of the series of illustrated articles on 



North American Mammals, 



by Dr. R. W. Shufeldt. These will include articles, more or less extended and very fully 

 illustrated by drawings by the author, on the Bats, the Insectivora and the Carnivora. 



There will be published during tbe year extended illustrated articles on the life and 

 habits of some of the large game animals of North America, in which will be brought 

 together all that is known of these creatures, now so rapidly disappearing from off the face 

 of the land. The first of these will be the production of Mr. John Fannin and Geo. Bird 

 Grinneil, and will deal with the rare and little known 



White Goat. 



A subject which interests sportsmen and naturalists alike is the 



Domestication of Game. 



We have arranged for a series of articles on this subject, which will, it is believed, be 

 of remarkable interest to every thoughtful reader. The series is expected to contain 

 accounts of the habits in captivity of deer, elk, antelope, mountain sheep, white goats, 

 buffalo, wolves, bears, panthers and other North American firm nalura. 



There will be papers on birds by well-known ornithologists, on reptiles by Miss 

 Catherine C. Hopley, two of whose articles, to be published shortly, will be on the 



Hibernation of Reptiles and on Snakes' Weapons 



Articles on many of the lower forms of life, together with notes and news on natural 

 history subjects from all quarters of tbe continent will make up an amount of matter for the 

 year that is to come which will be sufficiently varied and attractive to delight all who take 

 an interest in natural history. The investigations and explorations of a naturalist in the 

 Northwest will be described by Edward Howe Forbush in a series entitled 



Five Days a Savage. 



In the misadventures of Father Christian le Clerc, a seventeenth century missionary, 

 Mr. Edward Jack has found material for an interesting paper, 



Lost in the Forests of Acadia. 



The descriptive papers of travel will not be confined to North America. Our East 

 Indian contributor, "Shikaree," will give the readers of Forest and Stream some more 

 of his delightful accounts of 



Hunting in the Himalayas, 



and from another pen we shall have equally entertaining narratives of 



Shooting on Mount Olympus, 



and other localities in the Far East. A leading feature of our Shooting and Fishing 

 columns will be our 



Special Correspondence from the West, 



keeping the readers of this journal fully abreast of the events of the times in Western game 

 fields and fishing waters, all of which will make the Forest and Stream 



A Journal for Western Sportsmen. 



The accounts of big-game shooting will be frequent, and in these respects the Forest 

 and Stream will maintain its long-established popularity. There will be a series of papers 

 from the pen of Mr. J. E. Gunckel, of Toledo, O., entitled, 



The Sunset Club, 



A continuation of the witty reports of that famous club already known to fame. 



The Trap Forest and Stream Reports of 1889 



will be given in the best form by the journal's own representative and other competent 

 reporters. They will make good the promises contained in the actual performances of the 

 autumn of 1888, when our full reports of important tournaments were acknowledged to 

 have been the best pieces of special work of the kind ever done. The Trap columns will be 

 kept in the front rank; and because of them the paper will be indispensable to shooters." 

 In our 



Kennel Department 



will be found, in 1889, reports of all the bench shows, prepared by conscientious and per- 

 fectly competent hands. In this strong feature the Forest and Stream is universally 

 recognized as facile priiicepx. and it will be the highest ambition and most zealous care of 

 tbe editors to continue on the old lines, giving the public show records and reports to be 

 studied with profit. Our field trial reports will be graphic and reliable.
