Dr Wagner wrote this good treatise on game and rough shooting, bringing in E. Maude Cox to contribute to the angling section; just 48 pages, mostly salmon, trout, pike and perch, with an emphasis on Ireland. ".our experience of trout and salmon is confined to Irish waters." "The following year, 1928, the distinctly odd Dr Wagner, a clergyman and alleged dentist from Sligo and son of the Bishop of Boyle, became Editor. He was described by one contributor as a charming man who believed in fairies but whose ambition, or greed, led to his downfall when it was discovered that he was writing articles under a series of pen names and being paid for them. Considered at the time a great authority on shooting, perhaps his most significant contribution to ST was to create an association with Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub in Fleet Street, one which was to last well into the 1960s." (Tony Jackson in a Shooting Times article, The History of Shooting Times Magazine, September, 2007). .
