Forest and Stream 
WILL PRESENT 
FIFTY SILVER CUPS 
TO SUCCESSFUL ANGLERS 
The angler fortunate enough to capture the 
largest fish deserves a prize, and Forest and Stream 
will see that he (or she) gets it. There will be no 
red tape about the contest. This paper will place 
fifty handsome silver cups in as many public camps or 
summer hotels conducted for the angling fraternity in 
different sections of the country. 
The cup in each case will go to the person who 
catches the record fish during the season of 1914, as 
verified to Forest and Stream by the management of 
the hotel or camp. 
The contest is open to all, subscribers and non¬ 
subscribers as well. Where different varieties of fish 
are caught in the same section, the management of 
the camp or the hotel can determine to which variety 
the cup will be limited, or it may be that arrange¬ 
ments will be made later for cups to be given for 
different species of fish. 
M ore definite announcement of the contest will 
be made in an early issue, together with a list of sum¬ 
mer camps to which the cups have been consigned. 
FOREST AND STREAM, 22 Thames St., New York 
THE ROMANCE OF THE NEWFOUNDLAND 
CARIBOU. 
(Continued from page 509.) 
The climate and scenery of the interior come in 
also for a due share of appreciation, showing 
that Mr. Dugmore has not only the “seeing eye,” 
but also a soul attuned to the ever-varying rhythm 
of forest and stream. 
The sportsmen of two continents are indebted 
to him for the interesting information he sup¬ 
plies, and Newfoundland also owes him some 
gratitude because this book will go far to show 
that the island is not, as many suppose, in the 
arctic regions, but in the same latitude as France; 
that it is not eternally enveloped in fog and ice; 
that owing to the absence of snakes and all 
venomous reptiles and to its exhilarating summer 
climate, it is one of the most charming places in 
all America to spend a pleasant holiday. He 
points out that a very few days will bring a hun¬ 
ter from Great Britain, while a man starting from 
Boston can be on the grounds forty-eight hours 
after he leaves, and in the meantime enjoy a pleas¬ 
ant trip through scenery that is different. 
Newfoundland is no longer isolated, and since 
it has been “rediscovered” by American sports¬ 
men, principally through the agency of Forest 
and Stream, many changes for the better have 
taken place. In a few hours one can travel now 
with the utmost luxury from New York, Boston 
or any of the large American cities, and as both 
the Government and the railway officials are 
eager that the tourist traffic from the neighboring 
continent be increased a hundred fold during the 
next few years, every courtesy and consideration 
will be shown visitors. 
As we had over one hundred salmon streams 
wardened last year, and as the salmon fishing 
in these rivers is absolutely free to all comers, it 
will be seen that the inducements are not all for 
the hunters. Some of these rivers were not fished 
at all last year; others gave from five to twenty 
fish, when ten times these numbers would not 
have affected the pools. 
A perusal of Mr. Dugmore’s book will convince 
the sportsman, especially if he be resident of the 
United States, that the inducements offered by 
Newfoundland to summer visitors are not exag¬ 
gerated by those concerned, and that for a cheap, 
easy, enjoyable trip with the certainty of obtain¬ 
ing good sport no other place in the new world 
can compare with it. 
The Massachusetts Audubon Society recently sent out 
letters to the teachers of the state asking their co¬ 
operation in teaching the children to protect the birds. 
About 3,000 teachers are enlisted.
