have rather used as a means of urging the merits of 

 one form of sport than with any hope of converting 

 the devotees of others. There are so many enthu- 

 siasts already competing for the limited amount of 

 fishing still to be had for love, money, or trouble, that 

 I have no desire to dragoon any reluctant sportsman 

 into their ranks. Nor do I wish to depreciate the 

 grand sport of deer-stalking, which fully deserves all 

 the praise bestowed upon it. To be candid, what I 

 really believe is that the great charm of sport is 

 variety, and that the ideal place for an autumn 

 holiday is one where hardly two consecutive days are 

 spent alike, but where you can go from the river to 

 the moor, from the moor to the forest, and from the 

 forest to the yacht, deriving health, distraction, and 

 recreation from each form of sport in turn.
