A CHILDISH PROCEEDING.
During Monday night aome person—presumably the owner, jockey, or backer of a horse engaged in the Hunt Club Steeplechases levelled two of the jumps on the rarecourse almost to the ground. Of course, the ridiculous and unsportsmanlike proceeding was discovered on the following morning, and the fences restored to their original dimensions, but it would be well if the perpetrator of this outrage could be discovered and his conduct held up to public execration. No sportsman, no person imbued with ordinary honesty or common sense, would resoit to such means to attain an end however ardently desired, and the management of the Hunt Club meeting should make some serious effort to discover the offender. — Mail.
