The whole book is that of a wise and thoughtful hunting man, who not
only knows his subject from the very bottom, but can use his knowledge
for the benefit of others in direct and convincing language. Masters of
Hounds who suffer from the perennial Christmas school-boy and the
cocksure hunting novice should rise up as one man and bless Mr.
Richardson for that he has in a small half-crown book put forward
lucidly the whole duty of the hunting man towards himself, his
neighbour, and the hounds. We most cordially recommend it to the notice
of the parent, guardian, and to the family coachman who may be entrusted
with the duty of escorting the young master or mistress out hunting.
We have received a copy of “The Polo Annual (for) 1906.”[18] This handy
little work is now so well known that we need hardly do more than
mention the fact of its timely publication. It contains the Hurlingham
Recent Form List, rules and bye-laws, information about measurement of
ponies, committee lists, details of tournaments, club directory,
information about the conveyance of ponies by rail, and various other
matters connected with the game. It is a book indispensable to the polo
player.
