Feb. 25 Royal Horse-Racing Box, Goes To Graze. Majestically surveying the scene across the lake, in Dr Gerald Moore's Wild life Park, in Heathfield, Sussex, in Her Majesty, Queen Victoria's Royal Box. This Royal Box has stood at Sandown Race course since her Majesties days, but has now been bought by Dr Moore, a Harley Street Physician, for10, 000, and is now in the process of being re-assembled in the grounds of his Wild Life Park. This impressive Victorian edifice will be ornamented with Victorian furniture and bric-a-brac, and will function as a restaurant come museum to visitors. Dr Moore doesn't expect the Box to be fit to receive visitors, not even commoners. until the spring. He is hoping to arrange an official opening ceremony, conducted by a member of the Royal family. Once again, it seems, the binoculars will be raised from this highly honoured position, though the objective may be a passing duck rather than a horse.

With him are his groundsman, helping to arct the Box, in it's new peaceful venue at Heathfield
