Twenty two horses started, but Highbridgo, the American entry owned by J. R. Foil, and 1H other racers fell.

No country in tho world has any race quite liko tho "national," for tho 19 fences, brooks and ditchos to bo nego tiated supply tho severest tost for equino stamina and quality. All over the world people who hardly know a lay from a brown, Inquire "who has iron the national" and British horse men vio with one another to supply the winner. If possible they prefer to ride tholr own horses, for the glory gained by the winner is shared by tho rider, and puts the "hall mark" on a man's horse' oianuhip. The jumps at Aintree are so much more difficult than those on any other Britich track that It Is impossible to judge a horse's form by his per formances elsewhere. "Horses for courses," is the motto followed at Liverpool, so bettors promptly made Oswald Jones' Rathnal ly favorite. Iiathnally won tho race two years ago and ought to have won tho year before K. Malcommon's Bal- lyhacklo was also greatly fanciod, and 8ir Charles O. Asshoton-Smith 's Covert coat. T. Drake's Irish Mail, Karl of Darby's Axle Pin, Frank Bibby's Thowl Tin and Cauboon and C. Bower Ismay 's Bloodsto were in favor. Bowor Ismay is a brother of J. Bruce Ismay, of Titanic famo, as a Liverpool man he was particularly anxious to beat his shipping rival Bibby. Tho people of Lancashire put thoir money, almost to a man, on either the Ismay or Bibby en trios or Lord Darby's horse, Darby be ing about the biggost land owner in the county and deservedly popular.

" Biml lar action is to be taken in the easo of certain other battleships in the Atlan tic reserve floet. This does not contem- date the dismantling of the Oregon in any sense of the word, and, for the prcs ent, tho vessel will remain in the re serve fleet and be eared for by suffi cient porsonnel to prevent undue deterioration."

Another of tho song hits of tho ev ening was "Down on the Misissipp!,' by Mr. Dawson. The snare drum stunts of McKcvItt wero a wonder to the au dionce.
