12 PREFACE 



tendant pleasures may find herein some hints that 

 may prove useful. To older sportsmen, the book 

 will, I hope, recall pleasant remembrances of 

 days gone by. The few words of family history 

 in the opening chapter, entitled EARLY LIFE, 

 have been deemed necessary in order to avoid ex- 

 planations and repetitions later on.
