TURF, FIELD AND FARM.is
BELIEVING THAT THE INTERESTS Of
ID the American people demand iirst-cass
weekly Journal, devoted exclusively to the sports
of the turf AMI field, and TO agricultural and lite
rary pursuits, we have made arrangements 10
publish such paper. With the return Of peace
to our land, war and its exciting issues will no
longer engross the attention, and form the chef
topic OF discussion The people wlllireturn with
new yigor to The sports of the field and turf, TO
the breeding of fine stock, and the development
Of the resources OF the country. The want Of
journal devoted TO the best interests of the whole
country was never so severely felt as now. To
supply this want we propose TO establish the
Turf, Field and Farm. l,,- t-sr,,
We embark in an enterprise requiring much Ia,
Dor and expense but we believe the people will,
sustain us IN IT, Our facilities for publishing q
frst-class sporting and literary journal are not
excelled in the United States. Our long connec-
ton with the turf and stock associations of the
country, warrant MS IN thus boldly stating this
fact. IL shall be our earnest endeavorto publish
paper that will interest the general reader
Politics will be excluded from its columns, as we
have no desire TO indu ge in bitter aspersions and
| to engage in heated discussions. The turf will
! rec Give especial attention, and it will form one
of the leading features Of the paper. We have
made arrangements TO secure correspondents from
every State which take pride in encouraging this
noble sport. The breeding and raising Of fine
stock will also receive especial attention. The
The horse, the noblest of animal creation, for
years has been our study, and we are prepared
to treat the matter in manner that will cha-
| lenge the criticism of the public.
TO promote the interests Of the farm will be
another Of our chief endeavors. The subject of
agriculture is of vital interest TO the American,
people, recovering they are from the effects of
a long and desolating war. Neglected fields and
abandoned plantations must again be made { )

hope TO make this department valuable and inter-
esting. a.I1 3 l.g aIoo 2EN
No paper TO the general reader would be COM
plete without literary department, and it is pot
our intention 10 overlook this important feature.
Selections from the ablest writer's in the country,
and contributions from some Of the most ready
and scholarly pens Of the. day, will serve to en-
rich our columns. t,- ..iI,.,k
Believing that the perpetuation Of the princ-
pies upon which our Government is founded de-
ponds upon the general diffusion of knowledge, we
shall labor for the advancement of the cause of
education. c., - s.
To interest all every paper must assign col
unn or more to the recording Of important events
Transporting in our midst therefore we shall de-
vote small space 10 the current news Of the day.
But our aim is to establish a frst-class journal
devoted TO the best intetests Of the country pa
per that will be warmly welcomed by the gentle
men Of the turf, paper that will prove valuable
TO those who take delight IN the breeding OF hne
stock; paper that viii be hailed as a welcome
visitor by the farmer, one that will be read with
pleasure IN the counting-room, in the Office in
the railroad car, and by the freside. To sustain
US in effort, appeal TO the patronage of the
American people, and we believe that the appeal
will not be in vain. No pains or expense viii be
spared to make the Turf, Field and Farm worthy
of the most generous support I'D .'d
