The New York Sportsman, edited by the famous old 
sportsman, Charles J. Foster, is offering great inducements 
to encourage capacity and to elevate the standard of the 
race course .—New York Commercial Advertiser

is the very highest authority iu matters pertaining to the 
turf and other affairs classed as sporting intelligence. Mr. 
Foster is a living encyclopaedia.— New York Morning 
Journal. 
There are few sporting papers which have done as much 
to encourage the highest quality of sport as The New York 
Sportsman, edited by the accomplished Mr. Charles J. 
Foster. The proprietors of the paper, in order to still fur¬ 
ther extend its influence and encourage capacity, have now 
decided to offer prizes for jockeys, drivers, and oarsmen, 
which will no doubt arouse marked interest in the sporting 
world .—Evening Mail and Express. 
The New York Sportsman offers four rewards of merit 
for competition during the year 1883.—We;/) York Herald. 
The New York Sportsman in its current issue offers 
three gold and diamond medals and a sulky for competition 
during the coming season.—Veto York World. 
It is the intention o- The New York Sportsman to give 
away four champion trophies this year.—Veto York Truth.
