the completion of each volume.
To those who subscribe for the Magazine, the
weekly newspaper will also be sent as an adiu-

ed, and through the medium of the latter, be put
in possession of all transient news, sporting and
agricultural intelligence of the day, at as early
period as can be given by any weekly print.
1t must be evident that work of the magni-
tude and got up in the style proposed, cannot be
afforded (apart from any auxiliary publication
where talent Is employed, at less than S. semi-an-
nually, but the proprietors satisfied that weekly
publication which gives to the public the intelli-
gence, passing events and matter of moment, no
retard the circulation of monthly periodical, and
determined to furnish the earliest information,
have deemed it advisable, thus to throw out week
" an assistant sheet. By the mode proposed, sub
scribers will derive this farther advantage. That

races in calendar form, as they from time TO time
come off, notices of races to come, sweepstakes

or reference, its pages thus Invested of much ex-
traneous matter with which they would other
wise in some measure of necessity be clogged,

tanning or instructive and thereby be rendered a
work of greater interest.
The SPORTING AND AGRIcULTURAL MAGAZINE,

That an efficient Magazine of sporting as well
as agriculture is at this time great desideratum,
none can doubt; upon the latter subject we have

we give in corroboration of our assertion quota

the opinion and ideas of gentleman fthe South,

practical experience, having at this day more ca
pital invested in "blood stock,o than any other
person in the United States.
