"We have read the late Mr. Bromley Davenport's book on ' Sport ' with mingled pleasure 

 and regret. We are sorry to think we shall have nothing more from a man who might 

 certainly have made himself a reputation as a writer. A better ' all-round ' suortsman never 

 lived, and a brighter volume has seldom been written on sporting subjects. Everywhere we 

 recognise genuine literary talent a light touch ; vividly picturesque descriptions : the gift of 

 describing every day incidents dramatically, with a humorous insight into the natures both of 

 men and beasts. There is a racy freshness in every page, and the practical knowledge brought 

 to the work is unimpeachable. . . . For himself, he was a country gentleman of the best type, 

 who had always lived on kindly terms with the tenantry among whom his ancestors had been 

 settled for some 900 years. Yet Mr. Davenport's literary work, excellent as it is, is run hard 

 by General Crealocke's illustrations. Each of the sketches, while strikingly realistic, is a 

 study of the poetry, the pathos, or the humour of wild animal life. Thus nothing can be 



most spirited and original of all are his salmon. een through the transparent medium of 

 their native element. . . . Paper, print, and illustrations are all that can be desired." The 

 Times. 



WILLIAM DAY. 

 THE RACEHORSE IN TRAINING, WITH 



SOME HINTS ON RACING AND RACING REFORM. To which is added a 

 Chapter on " SHOEING." By WILLIAM DAY. Fifth Edition. Demy 8vo. 9*. 

 " The chronicles of post and paddock contain scarcely any name either better or longer 

 known than that of Day. What a Day, whether of Danebury, or of Stockbridge, or of 

 Woodyates, has to tell us about the racehorse and pertinent matters is almost as worthy of 

 attention as what a Gamaliel might have to say upon a very different subject. For the Days 

 have been noted jockeys, trainers, and owners from the time of the first ' honest John ' to that 

 of 'our William.' And Mr. William Day, who has now added a deed of authorship to his 

 feats of horsemanship, trainership, and ownership, speaks with extraordinary authority upon a 

 certain question of training. He omits sensational anecdotes, though he could no doubt have 

 astonished his readers had he chosen to draw upon his memory for strange stories ; and he 

 adopts, on the contrary, a quiet, business-like, simple style, exhibiting here and there an 

 ingenuous disposition quite different from the Machiavellian character which general opinion 

 attributes to the trainer of racehorses." The Pall Mall Gazette. 



MAJOR L*****. 



THE PYTCHLEY BOOK OF REFINED 



COOKERY AND BILLS OF FARE. By MAJOR L*****. Large Crown 8vo. 8*. 

 "This is a volume which will be found particularly useful during the approaching hunting 

 season, and to those who are in the habit of giving hunt breakfasts or similar parties it will be 

 invaluable. The author deals with the subject of cookery in a lucid and exhaustive manner, 

 a special feature in the publication being a collection of ' bills of fare,' which comprises 

 twelve for each month of the year. 'Wines and their service 'are also dealt with." The 

 Sportsman.
