Origin of Steeplechase
Steeplechusing. In which the com­
peting horses have to jump hedges
(•‘fences," in horse racing language)
and ditches, originated in Ireluud.
The first recorded race of this kind
took place in 1762, from the church
of Buttevant (County Cork) to the
church of St. Leger, four and a half
tulles away, The name steeple-
chase, however, was not bestowed
upon the sport until ISOS, when a
party of Irish fox-huuters ar­
ranged to race In a straight line to­
wards a church steeple visible In
the distance. The sport assumed
Its existing form, over more or less
artificial obstacles, about one hun­
dred years ago.
Words Used by Criminal«
Foreign words are often corrupt­
ed both in spelling and pronuncia­
tion when used by criminals, but
nevertheless serve admirably the
purpose for which they are Intend­
ed. Finn, a cant term for five, comes
from the German funf; filly, a girl,
is from the French fille, a daughter;
bosh (now a colloquial expression)
is from the Turkish bash, empty;
gelt, money. Is from the German
geld, or the Dutch gelt; nnd gonof,
a thief, Is taken without change
from the Hebrew. Booze is possibly
from one of two Dutch words, bulse,
a drinking cup, or buysen, to tipple.
Chow, food, is front the Chinese.
