A Horse’s Jump.

During a recent horse show in England Mr. Leaman’s hunter, Surrey, made such a splendid jump over the mimic brook as to set the great audience to applauding frantically. The horse, with wild excitement, went right on down the ring, and, rising at the barrier of the amphitheater with one tremendous bound, literally sailed over the bars and five, rows of spectators, alighting in safety and injuring nobody.
