STEEPLECHASING. 



Sixteenth fence (water jump, Fig. 255). There is a hedge 

 2 ft. 6 in. high and 2 ft. broad at base, in front of the water 

 and standing about a yard back from it. The water 

 measures about 1 1 ft. across, and the whole affair is about 

 1 6 ft. wide. 



The day after the race was run, I took the photograpl 

 of which Figs. 256, 257, 258, 259 and 260 are reproductions 

 to show the damage done. As probably all the depicted ga] 

 were the work of more than one horse, these illustrations 

 unfortunately do not give an exact idea of the extent t< 

 which these fences could have been safely chanced by a 

 single animal
