A most popular stay-at-home-holiday attraction for the people of Leicester ..was the appearance al a local gymkhana of the famous racehorse Brown Jack, now 18 years old, with his former Jockey Steve Donoghue in tlie saddle (reports the "Manchester Guardian”). There have beep few other racehorses to whom homage has been paid away from the racecourse, but one that occurs to mind Is Ormonde, once guest of honour at a garden party given at Grosvenor House. .A later "classic" winner, Caligula, was specially shipped to India by his owner from that■ country, Mr. Goculdas, so that racegoers there could see him before he was retired th stud In England.
