A GREAT RIDING FEAT.
Captain Mandandi's Horse Makes Re
markabIe Jump at Rome.

Rome, Nov. Il THE recent interna-
tional riding competition at Rome
brought out some remarkable features
in hazard riding. Captain Mandandi
was one of the most successful and
nerVy riders and all looked upon the
feat he performed in jumping his horse
first to a comparatively low, narrow
mound and then across a ditch to a
h1gher mound, In which the horse had
to make the second jump from a stand
ing start, as one of the most remark
able jumps ever performed.

In the midst of buildings and pave

growing that has chosen for its home
the most peculiar spot imaginable.
Within the enclosure of brick.
Which surrounds the outside of a base

across the alley north of the county
Jail. there dis peach tree which. if it
is not destroyed or disturbed, may
some time bead fruit The tree Is
probably half-a-dozen years Old but
as yet DIT has never fruited.
Probably some time years ago peach
stone was tossed into the window
place, and in the accumulation of rub
bish ON the bottom it sprouted and
took root Continuing to grow its
roots have pushed thru creMices in the
wall, until. the tree is firmly rooted.
The surface from which the tree
started is three on four feet below the
pavement of the ALLEY, but the tree has
grown up thru the window enclosure
until now its topmost branches are
several feet above the pavement. While
perhaps lacking any great abundance
OF soil from which to draw nourish-
ment, the tree Is we'll protected by the
