THE LUDLOW CLUB SPRING MEETING

... THE LUDLOW CLUB SPUING MEETING. UNFORTUNATELY but few of the old-fashioned country Steeplechase meetings now remain. Those that do, however, are much appreciated and remind us of the good old times when one went chasing with less luxurious surroundings, but when better horses were seen, and I think, taken all in nil, better sport than at the present day.

SOME OLD-TIME PRODUCTIONS

... . The Fat Knight seems to have been a more sympathetic character to the actors of previous generations than he is to those of recent times.
