of the work being done and car

upon every minute before the

make this occasion, that we all
enjoyed so much, what it was.

of the National Steeplechase
and Hunt Association should be
thanked for the hard work he
did in helping out Chaffraix
Ielong on this busy and bright
day, that we will long talk Of
