THE MONTREAL 



many men interested in horse-breeding and in steeplechasing, and the Hunt 

 has had its regular race meeting every autumn since 1837 ; when the Mont- 

 real Hunt Cup, a steeplechase of three miles, has been the feature of these 

 annual meetings. Up to 1 907, this race was for horses owned and hunted 

 regularly by members of the Montreal Hunt, but at that time it was decided 

 to extend these conditions, and horses holding qualified hunter's certificates 

 from the Canadian Hunt Association or the National Steeplechase and 

 Hunt Association, ridden by gentlemen riders holding licenses from one of 

 the above associations, are now eligible. As this is probably the oldest 

 hunter's steeplechase in America, we give below a list of the winners since 

 1 855, the records before that year having been lost by fire.
