"A Mad Gamble."
LONDON. Monday.
RENOUNCING *the"Grand
National Steeple as . a
mad gamble; a gross viola
tion of the law against
cruelty to animals, and a
national disgrace, the Equine
Defence League to-day wrote
tfie National Hunt Commit
tee urging its abolition. The
letter declared no animal
could endure the ordeal and
escape almost certain injury
to body and mind. Mankind
owed the horse an enormous
debt, which it repaid with
cowardly and diabolical treat
ment.
