PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
As the fishing season approaches men begin to look 
around for a place where they may spend the vacation 
days. For those fond of bass and muskalonge fishing 
Mr. A. G. Irwin’s Camp Recreation at Dorset, Minn., 
with its new building and beautiful surroundings, offer 
many attractions. 
The number of American anglers who now commonly 
send to England for their fishing tackle is extraordinarily 
large, and that it is constantly growing indicates the in- 
creasing numbers of the angling fraternity. Redditch is 
perhaps the greatest British center for the manufacture 
of anglers’ supplies, and it is there that Wyers Fréres 
have their great factory, from which annually they send 
out a tremendous product, a good part of which comes 
to America. Wyers Fréres, of Redditch, England, are 
glad to send their catalogues post free to American ap- 
plicants. 
There are few things necessary to the comfort of the 
outdoor man that cannot be procured at the store of the 
J. C. Hopkins Company, 119 Chambers street, New York 
city. The yachtsman or motor-boat man will find a 
great variety of articles which he needs, while the camper 
can provide himself with tents, cooking utensils and 
many other articles, indispensable for his trip. It is 
worth the while of every sportsman to drop in at 119 
Chambers street and see the goods that are there dis- 
played.

DUCK SHOOTING

No single gtinner, however wide his experi-

of duck shooting, and none knows so much about 
the sport that there is nothing left for him to 
learn. Each one may acquire a vast amount of 
novel information by reading this complete and 
most interesting book. It describes, with a por- 
trait, every species of duck, goose and swan 
known to North America; tells of the various 
methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition, 
loads, decoys and boats used in the sport, and 
gives the best account ever published of the re- 
trieving Chesapeake Bay dog. 
About 600 pages, 58 portraits of fowl, 8 full- 
page plates, and many vignette head and tail- 
pieces by Wilmot Townsend.
