PREFACE. 



The idea of producing this volume for the press 

 was suggested to me by a friend, who had been 

 looking over my sporting memoranda, to whicli 

 has been affixed, at his particular request, an ac- 

 count of my sporting career, from my earliest 

 recollections. The work has no pretensions to 

 any lucidus or do in the arrangement of the Chap- 

 ters, which are merely excerpt a from my scrap- 

 book, somewhat resembling the various receipts 

 contained in a cookery book, which I hope, how- 

 ever, may not prove w^holly unpalatable to the 

 Sporting Public. 



Scrutator.
