The Sportsmen’s Show. 
Madisox Square Garden is witnessing an¬ 
other Sportsmen’s Show this week, and it, like 
all the other ^hows of this sort that have been 
held since 1895, has drawn the hunters, anglers, 
marksmen and campers together and furnished 
them with amusement and entertainment. 
Exhibits are numerous and varied this j^ear 
and, with the large space allotted to the trap¬ 
shooting, they are in a way condensed. There 
is rifle shooting in the basement. Buffalo Jones 
and his moving pictures of Afr-'can and Rocky 
hibitions, less of the athletic features that were 
so prominent several years ago and more of the 
things that are worth seeing and which drew 
huge crowds to the shows of the late 90s. Many 
of the old-time exhibitors, absent for a number 
of years, are back to stay, and the show in con¬ 
sequence is a real attraction for the sportsmen. 
Following is the list of exhibitors. Where the 
place of business is not mentioned, reference is

crowd. 
The exhibits of various business enterprises, 
railways, backwoods camps, taxidermists and out¬ 
fitters, and the live fish and game all make the 
show attractive to a large number of men and
