together, and will be quite unique in character and marvelous 
in extent. Not only is it expected that a wonderful array of 
fishing tackle, tools and implements will be displayed, but 
that everything bearing on the subject, either directly or 
remotely, will be included. . 
The display, it is hoped, will embody not only the perfect 
articles of the present day, but will include, also, progressive 
series showing the evolution of the various implements of the 
art of angling, from the dawn of civilization to the present 
time, and those of pre-historic ages, in addition to those of 
Savage and barbarous nations of modern times. 
The exhibit may embrace, likewise, the literature of 
angling,from the quaint volumes of Dame Juliana Berners and 
Izaak Walton, of the fifteenth century, to the superb and 
magnificent productions of our own day, with illustrations in 
the way of models, paintings, drawings, engravings, photo- 
graphs, etc. Everything, in short, bearing on the subject, 
that can be made available for the purposes of instruction and 
information, or for ornamentation and decoration, can be 
utilized in this display. Teg 
Not only are manufacturers and dealers invited to partici- 
pate in this exhibit, but each and every member of the Uni- 
versal Angling Guild, or lover of the gentle art, is cordially 
invited and urged to do what hecan by exhibiting some trophy, 
book, picture or article of tackle, and help to make this truly 
the grandest, most complete and comprehensive, and most 
attractive and interesting exhibit of its kind ever seen in the 
history of the world. 
An exhibit of this character and extent is calculated to do 
more to encourage and foster the love and spirit of angling 
than years of patient reading and example. The object les- 
sons shown will never be forgotten. This fact is the more 
apparent when it is considered that in addition to the liberal 
scheme of installation proposed by the management of the 
Exposition, the invention and production of new and 
novel articles and appliances for angling, during the past fif- 
teen years, have been far greater than during all previous 
time in the history of the world.
