"The Field" covered the first Americas Cup in August 1879 and recommendations in "The Field" led to the official Lloyds classification of yachts in 1906. Francis Francis campaigned against salmon netting and was a leading authority on hatcheries; today "The Field" still champions the cause of wild salmon and their rivers. William Senior, an angling writer for "The Field" and later Editor, under his "nom de plume" “Red Spinner” was at the forefront of fishing advances and experimentation, primarily dry fly-fishing, although it was FM Halford – a Field contributor – who developed the dry-fly ethos. During the 1920s the design of the modern golf ball was formalised on designs agreed after tests by "The Field", leading to The Field Long Driving Championship of the World. The launch of the Field Distemper Fund in 1923 resulted in the inoculation of dogs against distemper. During the 1950s "The Field" improved racecourse safety through its campaign against dangerous racecourses. Among its contributors was Margery Fish, who went on to develop her own style of labour-saving cottage gardening. During the 1980s "The Field" campaigned against mismanagement of shooting leading to the widely recognised “Code of Good Shooting Practice”. Today "The Field" is considered the premier field sports and country magazine and champions rural pursuits, people and the environment. The magazine is published by TI Media from 110 Southwark Street, London.
