This work covers a wide field of sport and pastime, both recreative
and instructive, and cannot fail to engage the interest of every
intelligent boy, however varied or limited his tastes may be. The
necessary details of each sport or pastime are written in a simple but

by the youngest.
The book, although written specially for boys, will not fail to have
its use as a work of reference to all those who still find pleasure in
rejuvenating occupations.
To keep a boy happily engaged during the winter evenings, and to help
him to perfect himself for the activities of the field in summer, no
better present could be given him than a copy of this volume.
