It reaches tirst-class people and is a

vitiating tendency. Its articles are dtsigned to elevate and re- 
EiNE the ^ports of the held, and make them as they should be.

to spread a general and useful Knowledge on all practical points 
relating to the Kennel atid Field ^fanagement of Dogs. Guns and 
Gunmg'y, Fish Breeding, and Katural Ifisiory. 
A great want in this country has been a paper through which 
sportsmen could exchange their views, and discuss matters *<( gen- 
eral interest. To meet this, alargo i>ortion of .^pace is set aiuirl 
for Letteils from Spoutsmbn, ami ihi»se who glance ihrougii our

The body of the paper will he devoted to reports of Foreign and 
Hotne Sporting Events, Pigeon Matches, Field and Fishing Inci- 
dents and Adventures, and to the articles of our largeaud unequaled 
corps of contributors. 
It is with no small pride that we are enabled te quote the names 
of men who stand in the foremost ranks as scieniists, naIu^alist^, 
and accomplished sportsmen whose elegant and instructive articles 
have so long been a power in the colmiiiis of tlie Ajieuican 
S pouTsMAN. It is with satisfaction that we can quote their ap- 
proval of ourcouise, and announce a continuance of their very val- 
uable cooperation.
