"MR. RICHARD TRAVERS:
"Dear Sir:—Some days ago we received from Mr. George Fenton, in your behalf, two photographs taken by you in the mountains of Oregon.
"The Natural History Society wishes to express its appreciation of your gift, and to say that, as far as we know, the picture of fighting bucks stands unrivaled.
"Enlargements of both prints have been made and are hung in a prominent place, with your name attached.
"Should you at any time come East, the society would be glad to have you pay them a visit."
"Great Scott! What do you think of that?" gasped the delighted Dick.
"It's simply immense," cried Bob, enthusiastically. "Fellows, three cheers for Mr. Fenton and the official photographer of the Rambler Club!" And they were given with a will.
And Mr. "Big Bill" Dugan, about ready to crack his long whip, was heard to remark, "Huh! Canyon River an' the gorge didn't seem to take no spirit out of that lively crowd."
