March 24 was the biggest sporting day of the year in Bri- tsin, when two major events were held -- the Oxford v. Cam- bridge Boat Race on the River Thames and the Grand National steeplechase. The boat race was won by the Cambridge crew, who beat Oxford by a length-and-a-quarter. Cambridge has

Dick, winning the "National" after the most amazing upset in the history of the race the queeri Mother's horse, Devon Loch, well in the lead toward the win- ning-post, slipped mysteriously when only 50 yards from the finish, leaving victory clear for EBB, who was followed home by Gentle Moya (2nd) and former National victor Boyal Tan (3rd).
It was a fast-run race, and if Devon Loch had not slipped up experts believe the horse could have beaten the previous record time for the race set up by Reynoldstown in 1935. -- Express Photo.
