high jumping contests between horses.
Many times when the bar was placed near
the record notch and at about the height
OF seven feet, even such crack hunters as
Roseberry and Filemaker would strike the
bar and literally fall over. Many horses
were injured slightly, several riders re-
ceived ugly falls and horsemen protested
against the trials at such a height on the
ground that the practice was cruelty to
animals. The death of Roseberry, the
worlds greatest high jumper, at Chicago,
Nov. p, from the effects of a fall while
jumping at the Fat Stock show, has again
directed attention to the subject. Rose
berry held the worlds record of Z IT. 81
in, made at Toronto His only rival of
note was the great Filemaker, whose best
record is I #. ~ in.
Roseberry was valued at So, 900. He
belonged to George Pepper, the Canadian.
whose string of hunters - Roseberry,
Queensbury and Maud-were unequaled.
Pepper had planned to take the great trio
to England next season and bring back
Roseberry in condition to jump eight feet
at the Worlds Fair. In 1888 Roseberry
was drawing a milk wagon. The year fol-
lowing a hackman at London, Ont,
bought him for so. Not long thereafter
& Pepper bought him for s167.
Under their skillful handling the erstwhils
milk wagon horse cleared a 8 #. 9 in.
hurdle at Buffalo in August. 1889, and at
once became famous. After several CON
tests with Filemaker, the record passing
first to one and then to the other. Rose
berry made his great : IT. 81 in. jump,
which Filemaker was unable to equal.
At the recent exhibition of the National
Horse Show association at New York, the
management made what many humane
horsemen consider a step in the right di-
rection by limiting the heightto be jumped
to 6 II. @ In.

Mr.. E. w. Battle, a merchant of Will
Transport, Pa, had a strange and danger
GUS adventure the other day. While walk
ing along a few yards from the river bank,
upon what he did not know was made
ground, composed almost entirely Of saw
dust, he began to sink before he realized
any danger. After he had gone down to
his waist, and could not regain the shore,
he removed his upper garments and threw
himself as fast as possible out into the
river, where he struck wading ground and
made his way in the water around the
