The fact that the October issue Of Outing
is the opening number Of Volume Y. is in
itself an evidence of success and growth
on the part Of this magazine that is very
satisfactory to all who believe in the
vigorous outdoor life which it exemplifies
and illustrates. Outing is fortunate among
the younger magazines in having found
an audience waiting for it. The field it
entered two years ago was quite ready
for the blowing. The gospel Of recreation
was alive in the public conscience, and
Outing finds warm response, from month
to month. to its pleasant preaching in
prose, poetry and pictures. The October
number is varied and bright in its attrac-
tons. The Wheelman Co., publishers,
