MARES RECORD HIGH JUMP.
Lady Morton Breaks Record With a
 Lean of Over Seven Feet.

Word has come from Australia of a fine jumping performance by the mare Lady Morton. At the Christ church exhibition she cleared the fine height of z feet 3 IA inches, and this beats all former records for the an tipodes, the previous best mark being z feet inches by horse named Mahonga, and made at Bendigo, Vic toria, some time ago. As far as the records are known this is the best mark for mares no matter in what country. Not long ago quite sen sation was caused on the continent by the statement that geelding had cleared the astounding height of 10 feet inches at some exhibition or another, but the details as to its au- thenticity were not available. If this were true it would cast all the old jumping feats in the shade. On one occasion Heatherbloon cleared the great height of feet 3 inches in a private trial, and his best public record is [ feet 9 IA inches, at the Bryn Mawr show two years ago.
