Sir J. L. Pennefather, K.C.B. (commanding the division

Wednesday at Normandy, in Surrey, about six miles from
Aldershot. The weather was very unfavourable, rain and
snow having fallen heavily during the preceding night,
rendering the ground very heavy. There was nothing in
the racing to call forth any opecial remarks. The field was
a good one, with some stiff jumps, and made a ditch with
some ten feet of water in it. A keen north-west wind blew
during the early part of the day, but towards the finish the
sun came out, and the last two races were run .in weather
mere like June than March.
