The Orr Day

Fine weather again favoured the races on Saturday and a very enjoyable afternoon was the result. The attendance was almost as large as on the other days. The event of the afternoon was of course the Grand National Steeplechase, which was won by the favourite Jock Scott, his stable companion, Loch Gail, coming second. Badminton, who was going well, jumped short inthe back straight, and though Mr. Hayes was not thrown, and the pony completed the course, the mishap not only prevented him' from getting a place but also injured the pony. He was sick on Saturday night, and is still under treatment. 'The mafoos' race was one of the best contested events in the afternoon and resulted in a win for In ay, Tls. 150. Presented.
