determined to place steeplechasing

However, it is felt there will be
enough enthusiasts 10 uphold the

stimulate the breeding OF superior
horses for Army service and just
another means to keep up civilian
morale, and the same may be said
for the hundreds of people who are
dependent on the sport OF steeple-
chasing for their living.
At a recent session of representa- =
tives Of various race meetings, in
cluding Rolling Rock. Radnor. Rose

unanimous feeling that every effort
should be made by their associs =
tions to continue during the war,
