AMERICAN TURF REGISTER AND

We have been favored by the kindness of 4
friend with the perussl of the first No. of the "a
merican Turf Register and Sportsman's Maya
zue," edited and published monthly, by J. s.
Skinner, Baltimore. a week or two since We
made two extracts from it, TO wit, Washing
ton Sportsman,' and 90 The Richmond Barba-
cue Cor Qoi) Club The interest which these
two articles calculated to excite will by no
means be diminished on u perusal of the entire
number. Mr.. Skinner is already well and most
favorably known as the able and accomplished
editor of that most valuable paper, the Gamer
lean Farmer" Its influence on the A gricultu.
raj economy Of the country has been great and
most beneficial. The "Turf Reg ster and
Sportsmans Magazine" cannot hope to rival the
American Farmer, in public favor, or in gen.
era usefulness but, under the auspices of Mr.
Skinner, and the favorable patronage which it
will no doubt deserve and obtain, we may conf

of innocent amusement and harmless pleasure
we may expect to participate its positive ad
vantages in an increased attention 10, and con-
sequent improvement in that noble animal the

men from the heartless and enervating dsssipa.
tions and listless loungipg of the tavern, to the
