Sporting Anecdotes : Being Anecdotal Annals, Descriptions, Tales and Incidents of Horse-Racing, Betting, Card-Playing, Pugilism, Gambling, Cock-Fighting, Pedestrianism, Fox-Hunting, Angling, Shooting, PDF
by James Glass Bertram
Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
Every phase of social life presents aspects of interest not only to its immediate votaries, but to many who feel interested in the tastes of their countrymen, and in that sense it is hoped the present volume will be found instructive and amusing, not to sportsmen only but to others who do not pretend to such a designation.
Many readers will, probably, recognize in these pages incidents with which they are already familiar, but not a few of the stories will undoubtedly be new to them.
Other readers will find the volume largely descriptive of what is, or has been, going on around them.
Whether viewed historically, socially, or as matters of taste and habit, such circumstances and incidents bulk largely in the life of the people and necessarily attract attention.
