ATHLETICLIBRARY*.

Spalding's Athletic Library is admitted to be theleading library series of its kind published in the world,in fact, it has no imitators, let alone equals. It occupiesa field that it has created for itself.The Library was established in the year 1892, and itis an admitted fact by all authorities that Spalding's

Athletic Library has been an important factor in theadvancement of amateur sport in America.The millions that read the Library during the yearwill attest to its value. A glance at its index will dis-close the remarkable field that it covers. It is im-material what the pastime may be, you will find inSpalding's Athletic Library a reference to it, either ina book devoted exclusively to that particular game orin some of the books that cover many sports.It has been the aim of the editors to make the booksOfficial, and they are recognized as such, all the im-portant governing bodies in America granting to thepublishers of Spalding's Athletic^ Library the right topublish their official books and official rules.A glance at the names of the authors of the differentvolumes will convince the reader that the best men ineach particular line, the men best qualified to writeintelligently on each subject, are selected; and, as aresult, there is not another series in the world likeSpalding's Athletic Library series.

It is immaterial what new game or form of sport beconceived or advanced, it is invariably the aim of thepublishers to have a book on that sport. In that waySpalding's Athletic Library is in the field at the begin-ning of the sport, follows it year in and year out, andthere can be no doubt whatever that the present pop-ularity of athletic sports can attribute the same to the"backing" it has received from Spalding's AthleticLibrary.
