TVt^ROD AND THE GITN is the continuation of the AMERICAN 
SPORTSMAN. It is (he recognized organ of Uu HfuMdUig 
and Fishing Fraternity, and has doutAe the circu- 
lation of any other paper among guumts 
and fishers. 
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 
tendency. Its articles are designed to elevate and re- 
fine the sports of the field, and make them as they should be, 
the pursuits of cultivated gentlemen. The object of ihe paper s 
to spread a general and useful knowledge on all practical points 
relating to the Kennel and Field Management of Dogs, Guns and 
Gunru^y Fish Breeding, and Natural History. 
A great want in this conntry has 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 from Sx’outssien, and Those who glance through our 
pages will see that this is fully appreciated. 
The body of the paper w’ill 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 large aud uiiequaled 
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 scientists, naturalists, 
and accomplished sportsmen whose elegant and instructive articles 
have so long been a power in ihe columns of the American 
Sportsman. It is with satisfaction that we can quote their ap- 
proval of ourcourse, and announce a continuance of their very val- 
uable cooperation.
