and boats used in the sport, and gives the best account ever published of 
the retrieving Chesapeake Bay Dog.

A SUMMER AFLOAT 
is made possible for people of moderate means by the Houseboat. The 
Houseboat is the summer home of thousands of English families. It is 
yearly becoming more popular in America. 
ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT’S 
“Houseboats and Houseboating” 
tells the first and last word in regard to the summer home of to-morrow. 
It is a practical work and withal as beautiful a book as often comes from 
the press. 
It describes houseboat life, the equipment and furnishings of the house¬ 
boat, with detailed plans for constructing all types, from the simplest to the 
most elaborate. 
It shows how the problem of an inexpensive summer home, close to 
business and the city, is solved by this means, and covers every point that 
any one ambitious to become a houseboat dweller can raise. Buckram, 332 
pages, superbly illustrated, with plans, etc.

Life and Sport in Labrador 
NAPOLEON A. COMEAV. 
In “Life and Sport on the North Shore of the Lower 
St. Lawrence and Gulf,” Mr. Comeau has made a valu¬ 
able addition to the literature of rod and rifle—and more. 
It is a book of engrossing personal interest to the sports¬ 
man or general reader, and of rare value to the student 
of wild life. 
The author describes the events and experiences of 
fifty years .spent in the cause of humanity and science 
in one of the most interesting and least known sections 
of Canada. He writes as one sportsman to his fellows, 
detailing his experiences with the wild things of wood, 
shore and sea, with plenty of stirring experiences with 
big game and gamy fish. 
Illustrated, 450 pages. Paper. Postpaid, $2.60.
