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

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.
