The'ROJy AND THE GUN w the eotdinuation of the AMERICAN 
SPORTSMAN. It U the recognized organ qf the Shooting 
and Fishing Fraternity, and has double the dreu- 
lation of any other paper among gunners 
and Jlshers, 
It reaches first-class people and is a 
FIRST-CLASS ADVERTISING MEDIUM. 
Nothing will ever be permitted to enter its columns of a low or 
vitiating tendency. Its articles arc designed to elevate and re- 
pine the sports of the field, and make them as they should be, 
the pursuits of cultivated gcntlcineu. The object of the paper s 
to spread a general and useful knowledge on all practical points 
relating to the Kennel and Field Management of Dogs, Guns and 
Gvnnery, Fish Breeding, and Katural History. 
A great want in this country hat been a paper through which 
sportsmen could exchange their views, and discuss matters of gen- 
eral interest. To meet this, a large portion of space is set apart 
for Letters prom Sportsmen, and rlutse who glance through our 
pages will see that this is fully appreciated. 
The body of the paper will be devoted to reports of Foreign and 
Home Sporting Events, Pigeon Matches, Field and Fishing Inci- 
dents and Adventures, and to the articles of our largeand unequaled 
corps of contributors. 
It is with no small pride that we arc enabled le quote the names 
of men who ^tand in the foremost ranks as scientists, naturalist?*, 
and accomplished sport.'^nien whose elegant and instructive articles 
have so long been a powi-r in the columns of the Asiehican 
Sportsman. It is with sat sfaction that we can quote their ap- 
proval of ourcourse, and auuouuce a continuance of their very val- 
uable cooperation.
