BRITISH SPORT PAST AND PRESENT 



allowed me to draw upon Saddle and Sirloin for the Druid's 

 account of ' A Waterloo Cup Day ' ; upon The Life and 

 Times of the Druid for the same author's account of the 

 St. Leger of 1850; and upon Baily's Magazine for Major 

 Whyte-Melville's poem, ' The Lord of the Valley ' ; to Messrs. 

 Longmans, Green and Co. for leave to take passages from 

 Mr. Stuart Wortley's contribution to The Partridge ('Fur, 

 Feather and Fin Series'); from the Hon. A. E. Gathorne- 

 Hardy's Autumns in Argyleshire with Rod and Gun de- 

 scriptions of grouse shooting and loch fishing, and from Sir 

 Ralph Payne Galhvey's Letters to Young Shooters, 3rd Series, 

 a description of wild fowling; and to the Hon. Secretary 

 of the Cotswold Field Naturalists' Society for permission 

 to reproduce from their Proceedings part of the late Major 

 Hawkins Fisher's address on Falconry. 



If there be anything in the adage that when a new book 

 comes out you should read an old one, this compilation has 

 claim upon the sportsman.
