Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Finally, I have to acknowledge the kindness, exercised I am afraid at some personal inconvenience, of Mr. Norman Brookes and M. Max Decugis, two of the leading players whose strokes Mr. George Beldam's 1n1m1table camera, working at an exposure of fivth fraction of a second, has so graphically delineated. A large number of the seventy action photographs here reproduced were specially taken for thls volume, and I do not doubt they will enhance what success It may achieve.
