...Hunting (1576) by George Turberville; latest, long excerpts from Masefield's Reynard the Fox. In between you will find many a roaring song, piece of horsey wisdom, oldport reminiscence, shrewd talk to mull over. The U. S. is represented as well as England, from George Washington to the late Major William Austin Wadsworth, Master of the Genesee Valley Hounds. One of the best bits is from Major Wadsworth's A Bible: "Although you may be convinced that it improves wheat to ride over it, the opinion is not diffused or popular, and the fact that some fool...

At its sexiest stage it claimed 400,000 circulation, but a mistaken (and temporary) effort...
...article which he claimed he did not write), Hollywood and two months ago, Mystic Magazine, an idea conceived in Paris by Mrs. Fawcett. Mystic Magazine capitalizes the current faddish interest in astrology and (to quote Variety) "mitt-reading." Its first issue carried an "exclusive" spirit message from the late Conan Doyle -"scooping the Cosmopolitan by a full month." Captain Billy is frankly worshipful toward his Whiz Bang. Wherever he travels he sends back great sheaves of ribald jokes and also, with intense pride, hist monthly editorial: "Drippings from the Fawcett." In elaborate metaphor he voices his love for the common...
