Pew enure Interesting races hare been witnessed under National Hunt Pule- than that for the Tan- tivj Steeplechase at Gatwick March B, a- apart from the meeting of Balscadden and Jerry M.s foor- year-old brother. John Jorroeks. which evoked Im- meuse parti-an-hip. the fini-h was something sensa lioiial. The pair mentioned met it Hmsl Park last month, when Mr. Bower Ism.iy- horse defeated the other by ehrhi lengths, but although John .lor rock- yesterday had an advantage f fourteen pounds in the weights, Ihe older hone wa- aain civen the preference in the wagering. When half Hie di-i aace had been covered, however, the favorite ap peared out of it. while the Winchester horse was travelling none too smoothly, and the race seemed likely to resolve itself into a match between Min- -tiel Park and Hrathstoue. Thev rose at the tinal I fence together, with Balscadden still a hundred I rare* behind them, though from ihat point Ihe . favorite came tbrongh in remarkable style ami won ! io a length and a half. The owner, also Percy V Hand, who had the mount, were heartily e .ii gratnlated. John Jorroeks ehisbed laal but one. and I sadly disappointed hi- friends, who had predicted I lor iiim a great career. — I/judou Baortamaa.
