The records which had been accumulating in the office of Wm. T. Porter, were purchased as a plant 

 for the TURF, FIELD, & FARM, and this now popular journal was established in 1865. It is the organ 

 of the great breeding interest. Its office is the place where thoroughbred horses are registered, and where 

 the trotting and pacing records are compiled and published. The journal also has the closest relations with 

 Athletes, Oarsmen and all who patronize field sports. It established Bench Shows, Field Trials and Gun 

 Trials in America. The champions of all kinds have signed articles of agreement for great matches in the 

 office of the TURF, FIELD & FARM. The paper is a live one, sparing no pains to collect the freshest 

 information; it also is fearless in discussion, being vigorous in the expression of intelligent thought; its 

 views are widely quoted in America and Europe. It is the cheapest and best publication of its class. There 

 is no better general advertising medium.
