THE STEEPLECHASES AT HIGH RODING BURY 



271 



April 6th ; the feature of the meeting being the successful way young 

 Maurice White managed to stick to his horse in spite of his saddle working 

 right round under his horse's belly. 



The Essex Hunt Club Cup was won by Mrs. D. Grossman's " Ruth," 

 steered by Mr. S. Caldwell ; the Farmer's Plate by Mr. T. Christy's 

 "Cheque-Book," owner up; the Fox Hunter's Plate by Mr. A. J. Tweed's 

 " The Doctor," Mr. Tweed riding. The Open Steeplechase Plate was 



Theodore Christy on "Schoolmaster" 



won by Mr. x\udley Blyth's " Whitehaven," ridden by Mr. Guy Marsh. 

 Percy Tippler rode two winners, viz., Mr. H. F. Simonds' " Bairath," in 

 the Essex United Hunt Cup, and Mr. J. Coleman's " Sweet Bird " in the 

 Roothing Steeplechase Plate. This High Roothing Bury course is not 

 half so pretty as the Rundells Course, but being miles away from any- 

 where saves it from being inconveniently crowded by the London crowd 

 from the East End.
