combination calculated to put one within shot of the wari- 
est and wisest of wildfowl. Of Mr. Frank Lawrence him- 
self, who is in charge, it needs not be said that as a grass- 
suit duck hunter he has had such experience that at this 
particular time duckdom is rejoicing that he is chained to 
business in the Garden as an expositor of the merits of 
the MuUins craft. 
** Forest and Stream." 
The Forest and Stream occupies space No. 73, near the 
center of the Garden. Its exhibit this year is confined 
very closely to the journal itself. The space is arranged as 
an office, in which the series of bound volumes for the 
twenty-four years occupies the central place. Among the 
Colt's Patent Firearms Company. 
The exhibit of the Colt's Patent Firearms Co. this year is 
substantially that of previous years. Mr. C. E. Willaxd, of 
course, is the presiding genius. The cases contain a full 
and handsome assortment of Colt's revolvers from that his- 
toric and always interesting relic, the original arm of 1836, 
up to the police model made for the New York force in 
1896. The rifle display shows a number of handsome 
models, among which the white stocks. Mr. Willard tells 
us, are particularly favored by the fair visitors. 
Tatham & Bros. 
Messrs. Tatham & Bros., of Beekman street, New York, 
show a complete assortment of their well-known patent 
finish drop shot and chilled shot. The chilled shot is 
specially adapted for use with nitro powders, as its supe- 
rior hardness enables it to retain its spherical form, and 
insures greater penetration. 
Lie Roy Shot and Lead Works. 
The Le Roy Shot and Lead Works displayed shot of their 
manufacture to j^ood advantage on the sides of a pyramidal 
structure erected within a gold and ebony pagoda at space 
56. Sixty sizes of drop, buck and chilled shot were shown, 
ranging from balls weighing over loz. apiece down to micro- 
scopic dust shot counting from 3,000 to 5,000 to the ounce. 
The exhibit was in charge of Manager O. D Delano, as- 
sisted by Assistant Manager R. Sheldrick. 
The Interstate Association. 
The Interstate Association is in the Garden for business, 
like the rest of the exhibitors. It has, however, nothing to 
exhibit except perhaps its manager, Elmer E Shaner, who 
sits at the desk and receives entries for the Grand American 
Handicap.

when tenanted by Mr. J. A. H. DresseJ, president of the 
Association ; and Messrs. A. W. du Bray, Elmer Shaner and

pictures shown is a striking water-color painting of Michi- 
gan grayling by Mr. R. Porteous. There are two original 
drawings by W. Townsend, in his happy vein of picturing 
wildfowl, entitled "Here They Come" and "There They 
Go." Mr. Townsend found his suggestion for these in one 
of the bright sayings of a Forest and Stream writer that it 
takes two to shoot ducks, one to say "Here they come" and the 
other"There they go." The series of extremely interesting 
wild game pictures shown is the work of Mr. E. Hofer in the 
National Park. The animals photographed comprise buf- 
falo, deer, elk and antelope, and the series as a whole is 
deserving of careful study. The diploma received by the 
Forest and Stream at the World's Fair is shown. The 
south side of the space is devoted to the use of the Ameri- 
can Model Y. C, who make a most interesting display of 
models and winning boats, a detailed description of which 
will be given in our yachting columns next week. 
There were also shown bright and early Wednesday 
morning copies of the Forest and Stream with these 
thirty-one half-tone illustj-ations of the show,
