RACING OUTRAGE.
A Hollow " Take-Off." (Received 9.15 a.m.) ADELAIDE, this day. An attempt at a dastardly outrage was discovered just prior to running the National Steeplechase on Saturday. It was found that two big holes had been dug on the take-off side of the last fence. The holes had been covered, and the boards top-dressed with earth. The ground was repaired before the race. There is no clue to the perpetrator of this criminal action, and the police investigations are still proceeding.
