Excerpt from Fox-Hound, Forest, and Prairie To those who, like myself, look to active, outdoor sport as the chief means of lightening and brightening life - or even as constituting its best enjoyment - I offer these reminiscences. They will serve their purpose if, with the aid of the spirited sketches that give point to man of the scenes, they enable some few men and women of like vein of thought to find an occasional half-hours amusement. To my old and kindly friends of the "Field," and to the Editors of the several other papers from which these jottings are culled, I tender my best thanks.
