~ TEEPLECHASrNG Is supposed
- to have had its origin In Ire
land in 1852. although there
were hunting matches" run
cross country in England In Stuart
times.
The first steeplechases were nothing
but wild affairs, -skelter across
country from a starting point in a
lane or at an inn to the steeple Of a
distant church. Over fences ploWed
land and meadows, brooks, hedges,
fallen trees and sunken roads, horses
and men raced madly for the honor
of being first to the church.
The nrst grand national was about
like that. Spectators rode their own
mounts across country, sometimes
interfering with the race and often
holding miniature steeplechases on
their own account. Men and horses
scampered everywhere in confusion.
An early rule indicated the loose
character of the race: mo rider may
open a gate or ride through a gate
way, or more than 100 yards along
any road, footpath or driftway.'
There was a wide choice of route over
the same general circuit. A fence or
hedge might be taken at any point
within a 100 yards or more.
Danger Is Ever-Present.
Y YEAR by year the course was mar
roved to so yards or so and the
Jumps more definitely est" blished
Today the layout at Aintree, England,
is spick ard span, raied ana fenced

The course where the Grand Ma

two circuits which cover 4 miles 856
yards with Is jumps, all but 2 OF
which are taken twice. For the dash
to the finish line two of the most
dangerous and spectacular leaps are
eliminated on the second swing
