INTERNATIONAL HORSE SHOW.
V A HIGH JUMP. LONDON, June 14. Tihe consensus of opinion is that the British horse is still supreme. A (Week's receipts at Olympia totalled J48.000. The success of English competitors is phenomenal. Mr Glencross's All Fours, an Aus-tralian-bred horse, won the first prize (£100) and the championship in the high jump, with a jump of 6ft 9in. The horse afterwards won a special prize giver by Lord Lonsdale for 7ft «nd over, jumping 7ft 4in. All Fours was subsequently sold to a Belgian buyer for 500 guineas. (The jump Of 7ft 4in is not a record. The highest jump for a horse is, Heatherbloom's 7ft 9in at the Philadelphia Horse Show, on September. 30th, 1903. In- low*" in 1902 Pearl jumped 7ft 6fin. The'"best" Australian jump is 6ft llin by Moral, Strathmore and Newhaven, on 15th October, 1903, at Bendigo.)
