THE flattering welcome which hunting; people accorded to last year's Edition has encouraged the proprietors, Messrs. Thomas / AND Sons, of 32 Brook Street, W., to issue this Diary in its present enlarged and more complete form. Its scope has been widened, and several new features have been added which we feel certain will be of interest to our readers, and perhaps of practical advantage to many of them. In adhering to our object of making THOMAS'S HUN IING DIARY a sort of " Whitaker " of the hunting field, we have endeavoured to increase its value as a source of information and means of reference by presenting details of hunting establishments and sport bevond the seas. In our " Hunts of the World " we have broken fresh ground, and we have brought together facts and figures which have never been so collected before. We hope that this new feature will be appreciated, not only by hunting men at home, but by lovers of the sport in our Colonies and in other places abroad where the English language is spoken. Again we have been fortunate in securing the assistance of a number of writers of experience and authority, whose ideas regarding the promotion and maintenance of the best of British sports should be helpful to the rising generation of hunting men and women. Of late a good deal has been heard about the decadence of fox-hunting. Yet a careful and general study and practice of the precepts laid down in these pages might go far to remove the causes of the prevalent fears as to the lasting welfare of our leading winter sport.
