From England, where antiquarians ponder over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, Heart Burial* a new tome, reached the U. S. last week.

Another scrap of the lore which has grown up since 1839 around the hardest steeplechase in the world-four and one-half miles over 30 jumps at Aintree, England-is not to ride a favorite. Most Grand National winners have been outsiders. At Aintree this week the favorites-Miss Dorothy Paget's Golden Miller and Mrs. M. A. Gemmell's Gregalach, the winner...
