"The following book is an annual register of the principal sporting events that have taken place in the county of Hants during the last century. The information has in a great measure been derived from private diaries, and has been communicated by many old sportsmen still living."--Preface.

Excerpt from Sporting Reminiscences Lord granville gordon is anxious that this book should be prefaced with a statement of how it came to be Offered to the reading public, and in particular of how he was asked to write it in spite of his assurance that nothing that he could say would possibly have any interest for anybody but himself. In this' assumption he may or may not have been right, but the editor readily pleads guilty to the responsibility, believing as he does that the author's experiences on more or less trodden ground, and also his outspoken opinions on prominent sports and sportsmen, often fresh and always free from malice, may amuse.
