NORTH AND SOUTH RECORD
In early contests for the Grand National Steeplechase, South Island horses had the race entirely to themselves, but since 1888 the 'North Island has had much the better innings, so that it was rather a notable performance for the Souths sole hope this year to assist in retrieving some of the leeway that has been made in the last 30 years or so. The following are the respective lists:—, Nor.th. Island (36).—Mangaohane, Chemist, Norton, "Waterbury, Mutiny (twice), Levanter, Dummy, ■Blackberryj The Guard, Gobo, Haydn j Awahuri, ■ • Inniskillen, Eclair, Nadador, Ta Arai, Paritutu; Captain Jingle, •Befeola,- Ngatoa,> Waimai, Master-Strowan,1 St. Elnm, Coalition (twice), Oakleigh (twice), Sturdee, Tuki, Peter-Maxwell, Beau Cavalier, Wiltshire (twice), Aurora Borealis, Billy Boy.
