STEEPLE CHASES.

These Church and Steed meetings are now so fre-
quently held in almost all parts of the country, that a news-
paper cannot find room for the report of half of them, and
a majority of the interesting records is thus lost to the
public for ever. We would, therefore, suggest to the
patrons of this humane and humanizing sport, the expe-
diency of petitioning Parliament for an improved mode of
registration. No time should be lost. The Clergy of
Cambridge we know, are favourable to such a registration—
many names of Reverend Gentlemen having been pub-
lished in their county paper as Patrons. We are persuaded
that a petition to remedy the defect referred to would be
numerously signed,,for we cannot suppose that any friend
of the, church could xpfti.se his support of its Steeple. ()gl:
readers will be first in the race for regiatiation.` York-
shire—both the east and the west riding will follow ; and
in every parish, in every place where there is a steeple,
meetings will be held for the promotion of this great clerico-
conservative measure. The sons of the saddle - and the
men of the mitre, will unite—they will rally round the post,
and on the flags will be inscribed Steeple and Stable.
