| Summary | "Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes, Volume 85" by Various is a collection of articles and illustrations focused on sports and recreation, written in the early 20th century. The magazine likely reflects the sporting culture and interests of the era, covering diverse topics from hunting and fishing to developments in motor vehicles, along with profiles of prominent figures in the sporting community. At the start of the magazine, readers are immediately immersed in the rich tradition of sports, particularly hunting, as evidenced by an editorial detailing the life and experiences of Lord Huntingdon, a master of foxhounds. There is a whimsical piece titled "A Christmas Dream on Sport," where the author whimsically daydreams about future changes in hunting and racing, contemplating the impact of progress and technology on traditional sports. This blend of personal narrative, history, and sports commentary hints at the magazine’s broader intent to celebrate the joys and challenges of various pastimes, while also reflecting on their evolving nature in the face of modernity.
