From time immemorial great jumping feats have been perfoimod by horses, and while many recorded are unreliable and ppen to question, the majority are jgyiuine. One of the former class,ground which yet hovers a breath of romanticism, is the oft mentioned leap of Black Bess I Jj the tii eless steed of the outlaw Dick i 1 Turpin. The mare is said to have * cleared tho Hornsey toll gate on the j , outskirts of London with Turpin on ] ,J her back. Whether or not such an Ie event ever happened it is impossible \ '}, now to determine, but long aftor j 11 Turpin passed away the Hornsey j 11 toil gate was pointed out. It was ' jumped 27 feet 5 inches over ftaina* Pit in a run with Nie ,1'ytchlej hounds.

P., jumped inter a chasm 40 feet deep, and on© of the "leading cases" in this style of jumping is the famous chalk pit adventure of Paulet St. John, who in 1733 unintentionally jumped into a chalk pit 25 feet deep on Hunsley Down Hants.

Two schools were found, one to teach the way to use the knife and the other for pickpockets. An admission fee of a few-francs was charged, and the members were divided into three classes, he j and promoted from one to the other by a sort of supreme court, with headquarters at Barlette. The distinctive uniforms of the members consisted of a red scarf to be worn as a belt, and a long curl hanging down the forehead, or a green scarf for those of a lower degree in the society, If any one of the members was arrested other members volunteered to give perjured testimony in his behalf, while a few more took charge of the witnesses for the prosecution, whom they scared by throats into refusing to testify.

It is stated that the distance cleared was 39 feet, but there is some testimony IN FAVOR OF 37 FEET. The uncertainty seems to have arisen from two distances mentioned in Bell's Life of that itself the distance is given as 37 feet, but in a paragraph in another part of the paper it was stated to be 39 feet. William Archer, father of the jockey, Fred Archer, saw the jump, however, and in later j-ears testified in favor of tho latter distance. | Lord Ingestre's horse Lather once of the Walshes laid flat c of a five-bar gate while tho other jumped the stallion over him. Lord Vv'aterford, father of the present Lord Charles Beresford, rode a horse over a six-foot wall after a long run with the hounds. But a jump of real daring Wal performed in 1870 by John Ryan, oldest brother of the Ryans of Scar-teen, on his mare Steal-a-Way. Tk« deer and hounds had got into Croleer's doiiiain at Ballinagarde, around which there was a stone wall TEN FEET HIGH. All the horsemen started to go around to the entrance gate, but no such unsportsmanlike tactics for Ryan. He had a man who was carting crushed stones pull his wagon within a few feet of tho wall.
