It must be evident that work of the magni-
tude and got up IN the style proposed cannot be
afforded (apart from any auxiliary pubIication)
where talent IS employed, at less than S5 semi-an-
nually, but the propretors satisfied that weekly
publication which gives to the public the iBtell-
gence, passing events and matter of moment, no
matter how frivolous its general contents, must
retard the circulation Of a monthly periodical and
determined to furnish the earliest information,
have deemed it advisable thus 10 throw ont week

That an efficient Magazine Of sporting as well
