 ISTBODUOTOBT AND SXPLAITATORT. 
 
 The following condenitod i«umm*ry of the pUa of the guidt) book will iiidici 
 I atefulDM* to the aportvoiftn; 
 
 9th.— Nftmea of D««reat hotaU. with 
 c barges. 
 
 10th . —When guide* own bird dogs or 
 hounda, the fact ia stated. 
 
 nth.— Character of the grutinda —open 
 or wooded, rocky or hilly, wet or dry. 
 
 12th.— The chargea (if any) made by 
 owners of land Tor privilege of shooting 
 or hunting 
 
 13lb.— Character of the sport. 
 
 let— Location of grounda. 
 9d.— How they are reached. 
 9d.— Name of grounda and distance 
 tm neareat atation of tranaportatiou 
 rate. 
 
 4th.— Varietiea of game found. 
 Sth. — Moat numerous varieties. 
 6th.— Beat months for shooting and 
 punting. 
 7th.— Livery charges. 
 Hth.— Charges of guides. 
 
 About three thousand shooting and hiiiitiu|{ grounds more or less accessible to 
 sld aportmen are located herein, a large uuiiiber being tabulated from personal 
 ktters from gentlemen living and hunting on the grounds named. Care lias been 
 ^ken to make these reports accurate and none have been admitted that do not 
 low good shooting at the points named. 
 
 [The alphabetical headings of the text (p-igea !.''> to 2i)7), indicate the stations of 
 knsportation companies. The method of finding in this volume the description 
 !a particular locality had in view by the sportsiiian may be illustrated thus: On 
 je 182 will be found Fort Howard ((;. i N. W.), and by referring to the "ludex 
 AbbreviationsB " on pp. 7-U, the initial letters "C. ft N. W.," will be 
 |und to designate the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, and that Mr. E. P. Wil- 
 Chicago, III., is the General Passenger Agent of said railway, to whom all 
 kters of inquiry as to trains, cost of transportation etc., via his road, should be 
 Idressed. About two hundred transportation companies are designated in this 
 Ikuner. 
 
 The Game Laws of the States and Territories and those of Canada have been 
 signedly omitted. The frequent and often absurd and ci>nflicting chanii^es made 
 these laws render any compilation published in an annual work of tbia 
 kracter niisleadiu}{ rather than instructive. Many transportation companies, 
 3n the routes of which good shooting and fishing grounds are located, issue 
 tdensed game laws of their respective sections and States, and a letter ad- 
 kssed to any of the officers named in the index (pp. 7 to 14) will secure a pamph 
 copy of the laws desired. 
 
 pai Bpobtsham's Gcidb is designed as a companion volume to Thc Anolib's 
 [>x— the Gum and the Rod — and if it meets with a modicum of the welcome n- 
 kded to the latter. I will be amply repaid for the labor expended upon it

 THE 
 
 West Shore Eailroad 
 
 Is one of the most popular routes for business and pleasure travel 
 leading to and from New York City, as well as being the most substan- 
 tially built and elegantly equipped double-track line through Central 
 New York Stat«, This superbly built railroad has been justly named 
 the "Picturesque Route," traversing as it does the west shire of the 
 hnitoric and world-famed Hudson Biver, ^kirtin^' the foot-hills of the 
 Ofttskill Mountains, famous in Washington Irving's "Eip Van Win- 
 kle," and passing through the beautiful Mohawk Valley. By this route 
 three express trains are run daily, in each direction, between New 
 York, Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, To- 
 ronto, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and the West. Palace sleeping cars 
 are attached to these trains, and ]:un through without change between 
 the points named. The West Shore, in connection with the Fitch- 
 burg Railroad, is also the shortest line between Boston and Chicago. 
 It is the only all-rail line to the Catskill Mountains, and the only line 
 by which drawing-room cars are run through to the heart of the Cats- 
 kills, During the season of summer travel fast Catskill Mountain ei- 
 press trains are scheduled. Attached to these trains are drawing- 
 room cars, which run through without change between Philadelphia, 
 Jersey City, New York and Catskill Mountains. Siratoga limited ex- 
 press trains are also run by the West Shore during the summer sea- 
 son, and have drawing-room cars attached which run through without 
 change between Washington, Baltimore, Philarlelpbia, Long Branch, 
 Jersey City, New York, Saratoga, and Caldwell, Lake George. Buffet 
 smoking-cars, with revolving chairs, are a special feature of the splen- 
 did service on the West Shore. Drawing-room cars are also run be- 
 tween Saratoga and Niagara Falls. The West Shore also runs special 
 trains between New York and New Faltz during the summer season, 
 for the accommodation of travel to and from Lakes Mohonk and Min- 
 newaska, Suawangunk Mountains, and all points in the Wallkiil Val- 
 ley. The connection in Jersey City station with the Pennsylvania 
 Railroad will be appreciated by travelers to and from the South and 
 the resorts of Central New York State, as the long truns er through 
 New York is thereby avoided. Passongors and baggage from Brook- 
 lyn are taken direct from the foot of Fulton Street by Annex boat to 
 Jersey City station. Tickets via West Shore o&n be purchased at 
 ticket offices of all connecting lines, and they are sold and baggage 
 checked through to destination from all stations of the West Shore 
 Railruad.
