 I have great gratification in saying that Capt. De Vere Hunt, as Sporting 

 Contributor and Eeporter to this paper, has given very general satisfaction ; 

 and, I am bound to add,, his productions in our columns and those of contem- 

 poraries have induced a large number of our subscribers.

 Dear Sir, — Yoiir request for a letter in the shape of a testimonial is unusual ; 

 all your contributions to the " Life " having been prominently inserted ^nd 

 paid for at our highest scale of remuneration, is surely the best test of your 

 efficiency as a Sporting Writer. 



I may add your contributions under the nom de jilume of " Shamrock" have 

 received general and well-merited notice of a complimentary character. 



Yours very truly, 



WILLIAM H. LANGLEY, 

 Editor.

 De.vb Sir, — Your article upon The Horse, which I return, is extremely well 

 written, and would make an admirable chapter for a book on the subject. 

 But in its present form, it is unsuited to my views as to what ought to be 

 provided for the reader of to-day. For a newspaper, as a rule, I consider 

 continuous chajjters objectionable, as being more suited to magazine literature. 

 If, however, you choose to resume the thread of your discourse upon " OuB 

 Ee-Mounts and General Horses," I shall be very pleased to give your con- . 

 tributions prominent insertion, as heretofore. 



I am, my dear Sir, faithfully vours, 



HENEY SWAITHWAITE, 

 Editor Bell's Life.

Our Sporting Columns have, since the recent extension of matter in our 

 paper, contained original contributions and reports calculated to interest that 

 portion of our readers having a penchant for the turf and field sports generally. 

 And as we are determined to cater for our constituents, regardless of expense, 

 we have engaged a gentleman of established literary fame in equine and 

 general sporting writing (standard and periodical), to produce our sporting news 

 in that form of high excellence for which he is so pre-eminent. 



In introducing " Shamrock " of Bell's Life in London as the gentleman 

 above alluded to, we give the best guarantee to our readers that our hopes 

 and encomiums are reasonable and just.

 My Deab Sir, — I duly received the MS. you kindly sent me, and although 

 the terms you have named are higher than I have paid heretofore, I do agree 

 to them, as I know your articles are of the highest literary merit, and in my 

 opinion the sum you have named is not too much. Mediocre articles I always 

 thought too dear for me at any price. 



Yours very truly,
