8PURTS.MAN. It is lite r^sognized organ (he Shooting 
aiyi Fishing lYaUmity^ and has doable the ctreu- 
laiion of any otJier paper among gnuners 
anel jlshers^ 
It reaches lirst-class people and is a 
FIRST-CLASS ADVERTISING MEDllTM. 
Nothing will ever be permitted to enter its columns of a low or 
vitiating tendency. Its articles are designed to elevate and re- 
pine the ^pu^ts of the field, and make them as they should be, 
the pursuits of cultivated gentlemeu. The object of the paper -.s 
to spread a general and useful knowledge on all practical points 
relating to the Kenriel and Field Management of Dogs, Ouns and 
GMnnery, Fisk Breeding, Wid Natural History. 
A great want in this country has been a paper through which 
sportsmen could exchange their views, and discuss matters of gen- 
eral interest. To meet this, a largo portion of space is set apart 
for Letters prom Sportsmen, and those who glance through our 
pages w ill see that this is fuJly appreciated. 
1 he 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 unequalod 
corps of contributors. 
• It^is with no small pride that wc are enabled te quote the names 
of men who stand in the foremost ranks as scientists, naturalists, 
and accomplished sportsmen whose elegant and instructive articles 
have so long been a power in ihe columns of the Asieiucan 
Sportsman. It is with satisfaction that we can quote their ap- 
proval of ourcourse, and announce a continuance of their very val- 
uable cooperation.
