(With which the O^ and New Sporting Magazines and the 

 Sportsman are combined.) 



This work had its origin many years ago, when " Nimrod" was a living 

 name, and spoke with his eloquent pen through its pages, in the desire to 

 furnish our National Sports, both by flood and field, with a monthly organ, 

 worthy of their high importance and popularity. Time " that gentle innova- 

 tor" has only served to develops those sports instead of dooming them to 

 decay. Although "The Age," "The Hirondelle," and the "Quicksilver" 

 Mail, with all the other glories of " The Road" have departed for ever, there 

 are still countless votaries of "The Turf" and "The Chase" not one 

 whit less enthusiastic than their fathers before them, in the days of 

 George the Fourth and Hugo Meynell. The late Colonel Hawker's mantle 

 has fallen gracefully on Colonel Hutchinson ; the blood of Emperor and 

 Bugle has been worthily succeeded in the slips by Beacon's, Effort's, and 

 Judge's ; and yachts, with lines still more perfect thaa those of " The 

 Kestrel" and "The Pearl," glide along the waters of the Solent and the 

 Mediterranean. 



To present a faithful pen and pencil reflex of the ever-varying cycle of 

 facts and fancies in each of these branches of sport was the task which the 

 Proprietor of the SPORTING REVIEW proposed to himself at the outset ; 

 and no expense or labour has been spared to achieve, or at least to 

 deserve, a commensurate success. Amongst the present contributors he may re- 

 fer to the Author of " Digby Grand," " The Druid," Lord William Lennox, 

 "Castor," '* Uncle Scribble," "Liuton," "Aucep?,"" Hawthorne," "Ramrod," 

 " Hoary Frost," and other successful writers on Field Sports ; while from his 

 list of Artists he may name the Herrings, elder and younger; Abraham 

 Cooper, R. A. ; Harry Hall, of Newmarket ; Harrison Weir ; Laporte ; 

 Spalding ; Corbet, &c., &c. 



Beyond a variety of occasional papers, care is taken to make the 

 SPORTING REVIEW a continual chronicle of all kinds of sport, both 

 British and Foreign, as each in its turn comes into season. Portraits of 

 celebrated Cup Horses, as well as the Winners of the Derby, Oaks, and St. 

 Leger, year after year, without any exception are painted expressly, by Mr. 

 Harry Hall, for this work ; while a new series of celebrated English Jockeys 

 and Trainers, by the same artist, is now being carried through its pages. 

 This already includes each with a full Memoir Portraits of John Scott, 

 Robinson, the late F. Butler, Job Marson, Flatman Chappie, and Luke Snow- 

 den, Templeman, Bartholomew, Charlton, Rogers, Wells, Alfred Day, and 

 Marlow.
