.....

{TROM. OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

LONDON, April 7th. This year's Grand National will go down in racing history as the All Fall Down National. AI! the horses fell with the exception of one, Tipperary Tim, a rank out- sider that was never mentioned in the betting, and started at 100 to 1. The race, the greatest steeplechase in the world, can be regarded as farce or a tragedy, according to one's point of view. The fact is that the winner proved to be a "KTÓW " ten years old, лис "tubed "that is, gone in the wind. the most serious defect & receborsa can have. This gelding was never heard of before outside small Tipperary meetings, and would Defer have fetched more than £300 at auction, and then only if there were a couple of people who wanted

The owner, Mr. Harold Kenyon, is a member of a big Manchester firm of chemical manufacturers, and very prominent in sporting circles. He says he entered the horse for the National simply because Tipperary Tim never fell in any. race. The jockey who rode to victory is Mr. W. P. Dutton, who rides to hounds in Cheshire, and has not long been down from Cambridge. He is the son of a solicitor in' Chester.

Forty-two horses started and fetty-one fell or refused... Owing to heavy rain over-night the course was heavy, and in parts dangerous Tipperary Tim, the only horse who kept on his feet, came in by him- self, or to be strictly accurate, ac companied by a riderless horse that did not count. Then after an in- terval, Billy Barton, the representa tive of America, who had, the ill- luck to fall at the last fence when ha was leading, passed the winning poet very wearily and was placed
