YAsROD AND THE (iVS is the continuation of the AMERICAN 
SPOKTS.MAN. Jt U the recognized or (fan of the ShttoUng 
and Fishing Fraternity^ and has donhU the circu- 
lation of any other paper among gunners 
and jls/ters. 
It reaches first-class people and is a 
FIRST-CLASS ADVKRTISING 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 h 
to spread a general and useful knowledge on all practical points 
relating to the Kennel and Field Manuge?nent of Dogs, Guns and 
Gunnery, Fish Breeding, and Natural History. 
A great want in this country has been a paper through w’hich 
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 fkob Sportsmen, aiul those who glance through our 
pages will see that this is fully appreciated. 
T 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 largeaiid imequalwd 
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 80 long been a power in ihe columns of the American 
Sportsman. It is with satisfaction that we can quote their ap 
provai of our coarse, and announce a continuance of their very val- 
uable cooperation.
