culture each sport to be described by well- 

 known men. Volume IV. will include running, 

 athletics, swimming, and water-polo. Gomer 

 Williams, the late Cambridge blue ; Captain 

 Beves, the well-known swimmer of the Ennis- 

 killen Drao^oons, and others will be asked to 

 contribute to this series. It is hoped that its 

 readers, the younger generation of sportsmen, 

 will show their appreciation of these efforts by 

 encouraging the Publisher and Editor to pro- 

 duce a library of ten volumes covering every 



known sport.
