 contemplation, and contributed an article entitled " Out 

 with a Jack-knife," to the very first number. This was 

 followed by a long series of papers on swimming, 

 skating, and other athletic exercises, as well as on all

 wrote frequently, and, as already mentioned, a series of 

 articles upon the treatment and management of horses 

 appeared in its columns after his death.
