About this issue

This issue of The Argosy contains two primary pieces: E. M. Halliday's feature article "Winter Sports in the Country" surveys seasonal rural pastimes including ice boating, tobogganing, bobbing (long-sled racing), snow shoeing, ice yachting, skating, ice fishing, and sleighing. The article emphasizes contrasts between city and country winter recreation, discusses the toboggan's Canadian-Indian origins, and includes specific records such as the 1883 ice yacht run of fifteen miles in 20 minutes 40 seconds on the Shrewsbury River. The serialized story "The Bandits of Muskrat Pond" by William Murray Graydon begins a tale of youth adventure: Ned Purdey (nicknamed "the Admiral"), a sixteen-year-old village leader, befriends Arthur Hamilton, a wealthy newcomer staying until Christmas. When Arthur's father forbids him from joining the other boys' camping trip, Arthur proposes a scheme inspired by bandits from his book—suggesting Ned resembles the fictional robber chief Rodrigo.
