The object of this journal will be to studiously pro- 
mote a healthful interest in outdoor recreation, and to 
cultivate a refined taste for natural objects. We es- 
pecially desire to make the Forest AND STREAM the 
recognised medium of communication between ama- 
teurs and professional sportsmen. All of us have 
something to impart, which, if made available to each 
other, willin time render us proficient in all those 
several branches of physical culture which are absolute- 
ly essential to our manhood and well-being, both as in- 
dividual men and asanation. <A practical knowledge 
of natural history must of necessity underlie all at- 
tainments which combine to make a thorough sports- 
man. Itis not sufficient that aman should be able 
to knock over his birds dexterously right and left, or 
cast an inimitable fly. He must learn by study and 
experience the haunts and habits of the game or fish 
he seeks. If he depend altogether upon his dog’s 
nose, or upon his henchmen, he will some day have 
to retire from the field in mortification and dis- 
grace. Therefore it is that we shall study to give 
practical instruction in the most attractive depart- 
ments of natural history. We shall not forget the 
technicalities of the craft either, but take pleasure in 
designating the best localities for hunting and fishing, 
outfits, implements, remedies, routes, distances, breeds 
of dogs, &c. Hach number will contain a paper de- 
scriptive of a particular animal, bird, or fish, with some 
instruction as to its habits, haunts and mode of cap- 
ture, and the period when it isin season. We have 
arranged to receive regular weekly reports of «the fish- 
ing and shooting in various parts Of. the country. 
Yachting and boating will be encouraged, and yacht 
news be made an especial feature of the paper, A 
reasonable space will be given to athletic sports and 
those out-door games in which ladies can participate. 
Ina word, every description of game that is in vogue 
among respectable people, and of value as a health- 
giving agent or recreative amusement, will be consid- 
ered and its practice encouraged. Nothing that de- 
moralizes or brutalizes, nothing that is regarded as 
**sport” by that low order of beings who, in their in- 
stincts are but a grade higher than the creatures they 
train to amuse them, will find favor in these columns. 
To horse news we shall devote some space, giving a 
record of leading races and meetings and current 
events, but we shall not make it a feature of this jour- 
nal. We leave this department to others, much more 
‘ompetent than ourselves, who are recognised through- 
out the country as exponents of the turf, and as au- 
thority in stock, pedigree and kind. We yield to no 
ome, however, in our love and appreciation of the horse 
and his estimable qualities. The noblest of all ani 
mals, and the companion alike of men of high and 
low degree, he has never become contaminated by the 
moral atmosphere by which he is often surrounded, or 
degraded below the high rank to which his attributes 
entitle and assign him. 
To the forest, lawn and garden we assign full place, 
For the preservation of our rapidly diminishing for- 
ests we shall continually do battle. Our great inter- 
ests are in jeopardy—even our supply of drinking wa- 
ter is threatened, from the depletion of our timber- 
lands by fire and axe. It is but proper to state here 
that the gentleman in charge of this department is 
the well-known ‘“‘ Olipod Quill,” who was connected 
with the Agriculturist newspaper from the start, and a 
co-laborer with the lamented Downing for many years, 
Much valuable information will be found in this de- 
partment. 
Our military department is intended to comprise 
merely a weekly summary of news for officers and 
soldiers upon the frontier—such news as the casta- 
ways would enjoy to receive in a *‘ letter from home:” 
and we trust that many of them will be inclined to 
send us in return some account of their hairbreadth 
experiences among the Indians, the buffaloes, the griz- 
alies and the antelopes. We of the Hast are not 
thoroughly familiar with the varied species of game 
in the far Northwest, and would like to receive full 
information especially of the numerous Ceronvs family 
and of the Rocky Mountain sheep. This department 
is under the charge of a distinguished army ofticer, 
Our dramatic and art column will be prepared by 
Colonel T. B. Thorpe, and must at once become popu- 
lar with all our readers who are interested in these 
matters. We shall occupy an independent position, 
and throw our offorts in behalf of competent reform. 
We shall perhaps even clamor for it. 
Our columns will always contain the cream of the 
latest foreign sporting news. 
In a word, we are prepared to print a Zive paper and 
auseful one. We shall not be parsimonious in secur- 
ing the best material for its columns. We are con- 
vinced that there is a standard of eminence and useful- 
ness not yet fully attained by any sporting journals 
in this country. To this we aspire. It will be our am- 
bition to excel; and we have relinquished a life of ease 
and semi-indolence to take charge of the enterprise. 
This not of our own free choice, but at the solicitation 
of many hundreds of friends and strangers. We are 
ably assisted in our labors by a corps of valuable as- 
sociates—men of age and experience, all of whom, with 
a single exception, have been identified with leading 
journals for years. 
Mr. Srtmzon A. ATKINSON, connected with the 
Georgia press for over twenty years, has charge of the 
bnsiness affairs of the Company.
