A GREAT JUMPER.

Some of the Feate of the English Champion “Joe” Darby. Probably the greatest phenomenon of modern times in the jumping line is “Joe” Darby, the English cham. pion. Darby has met nearly all the cracks in England and has proved himself their master at all styles of jumping. The champion is 30* years of age

and a native of Staffordshire. Some of his remarkable feats are as follows: Jump over twenty chairs, jump over six chairs in one jump, jump over two chairs 18 feet apart, jump over a horse 15 hands high, jump backward over two chairs. These are only a few of Darby’s feats, there being many others equally astonishing.
