EXHIBITION OF HURDLE JUMPING. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) ROME, July 27. Mussolini will celebrate his fiftyseventh birthday next Monday. He showed correspondents how he was keeping fit. Riding in a ring at Villa Colonia, he cleanly jumped 19 hurdles, including an obstacle of five feet two inches, though cavalrymen following dislodged the top bar. Mussolini jumped, mounted on a Hanover cavalry horse, after which he spoke to newspaper men in German. "Am I sick? Am I tired?” he said. He smiled and galloped oft'. This was his first Press interview in three and a half years.
