ΤΟ WALTER SHANLEY, ESQUIRE, OF THORNDALE, CANADA WEST, I INSCRIBE THIS BOOK AS A SMALL TRIBUTE OF FRIENDSHIP-AND ESTEEM. G. E. BULGER. PREFACE. THE majority of the papers from which the following pages have been compiled, were originally collected for my own amusement, and, subsequently, some of them appeared in the columns of the "North Lincoln Sphinx," a periodical printed for private circulation amongst the officers and men of the Second Battalion, Tenth Regiment. Circumstances have since then led to these papers being offered to the public in the present form, and I can only hope that they may prove acceptable. A few of the chapters record the results of personal experience; the remainder are descriptive of incidents in the sporting career of friends and acquaintances, the main facts of which are I believe quite accurate, and the details in most instances strictly unembellished.
