nual point-to-point steeplechase. at four
miles was held by the Meadow Brook
Hunt Club here this afternoon.
The start and finish were on tho Van
Sise farm. over three thousand persons.
"A majority OF them being country gentle
men and their families from the large
estates and residents OF the nearby VII
lagos, came 10 the scene OF the sport In
every kind OF conceivable vehicle. from
the automobile to the rig with lame graz
horse.
Automobiles by the hundreds were
parked on each side OF the road. and the
drag and four Of +. Ambrose Clark,
which was I'm the centre OF the held. was
used as a stand for the judges.

property Of the winner; the other, an
annual cup offered by Herbert NJ Harri-

the Hartman cup. Last year he won
a leg on the Relentless cup, but to-day
he entered In the lightweight class. Both

were ten starters. only two horses were
entered in the heavyweight division. The
winner was Jere Bealc's Wayover.
There was much confusion at the finish
OF the race the crowd swarming right In
the centre Of the stretch. This prevented

finish on Pinkertons Talisman, as he
was loath to take a chance of knocking
some one down.
Chester ran a good race all the way.
The first leg of the course was over
ploughed field 10 point Of woods, then
turn and back over the same line to a
double jump over lane. The first jump
was a drop Of six feet and a rise OF the
, same height on the outlet. Chester made
| for a jump of that height and refused;
Mr. Lewis then put him at rail five
/ feet high, and Chester cleared the OBJ
stacle like bird.
! Mr. Lewis was never in doubt on Ches-
ter, and Mr.. Beale had WayOver well In
| front Of his rival, but Mr.. Holloway, on
