Opis

Excerpt from The Year's Sport: A Review of British Sports and Pastimes for the Year, 1885 'The Year's Sport' is designed to present a record, but something more than a bare record, of those events which are most noteworthy in the sporting history of the year. Many admirable Calendars, Guides, Registers, and Almanacks, dealing with various branches of sport, are annually issued. In most cases these chronicles are singularly faithful and complete; but, as a rule, nothing beyond simple results and analyses is given, and the very completeness with which the subjects are summarised necessitates the introduction of much that is unimportant. The performances of unskilled cricketers, of untrained and inexpert oarsmen, and of casual players at various games cannot concern the world at large. The lover of the Turf is not moved to read how Ramsbury won a race at Alexandra Park on a certain day, and was beaten the day afterwards by a brother selling-plater, which subsequently fetched at auction something less than forty guineas. This is racing, but it is scarcely sport. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
