Nothing w ill ever be permitted to enter it!« columns of a low or 
vitiating tendency. Its articles are designed to elevate and re- 
pine the sports of the field, and make them as they should be. 
the pursuits of cultivated gentlemen. The object of the paper s 
to spread a general and neeful knowledge on all practical points 
relating to the Kennel and Field Managejnent of Dogs, Guns and 
Gunmry, Fish Dreeding, and Natural History. / 
A great want in this country hai: been a paper through whifeh 
sportsmen could exchange their views, and discuss mattVirs of gen- 
«ral interest. To meet this, a large portion of space is set apart 
for Letters from Sportsmen, and those who glance through our 
pages will see that this is fully appreciated. 
1 he body of the paper will be devoted to reports of Foreign and 
Home Sporting Events, Pigeon Matches, Field and Fishing Inc^ 
dents and Adrentures, and to the articles of our large and unequalod 
corps of contributors. 
It. is with no small pride that w’e are enabled te quote the name* 
of men who stand in the foremost ranks as scieniiets, iialuralists, 
and accomplished sportsmen whose elegant and instructive articles 
have 80 long been a power in the columns of the American 
Sportsman. It is with satisfaction that we can quote their ap- 
proval of our course, and announce a continuance of their very val- 
uable cooperation.
