THE CHESTER MEETING
takes place on the Roodee, very extensive nat near
by the pattlements on one side the viaduct OF the
Great Western Railway on another, and on the
remaining TWO by slOping, turfclad banks. The
course is irregularly circular. with three or four
somewhat awkward turns round which only very
handy horses can get easily and which are rather
