Jumps in this class.
Young Bradley's performance yester-
day brought the blase stands to their
feet. The eight jumps had been ar
ranged to present the greatest difficulty
to the horses. The first jump was a
hedge. surmounted by bar. The first
10 horses touched the bar and couple
of others baked, all of them being elm
mated automatically.
Cleared All Jumps.
Then Bradley came along Tipperary
Mary headed for the jump slowed up
for the take-off and then sailed over it
with a foot to spare. The stands stood
breathless while the little horse. guided
by a small boy who knew how to ride,
cleared jump after jump. finally max
ing the last two, which were set only
few PAGES apart, for a perfect score.
. No other horse cleared every jump.
