Schooling of Hunters. 39 



inches, and six feet six inches. Only three trials 

 will be allowed each horse at the different heights. 

 In the event of two or more horses clearing six 

 feet six inches, the judges, in making their 

 awards, will consider the form in which the 

 horses have taken their jumps, and may, in their 

 discretion, increase the height of the jump. 



In addition, classes are provided for thor- 

 oughbred qualified hunters, and horses suitable 

 to become hunters. 



The bright particular stars in the jumping 

 classes during the past years have been Rose- 

 berry, Ontario, Filemaker, Richmond, Rudolph, 

 Tychobrache, Chappie, and Heatherbloom, 

 Heatherbloom's record of eight feet two and one- 

 half inches is the world's record, and will un- 

 doubtedly long remain so. Chappie's record of 

 clearing twenty-five feet over a five foot eight 

 inch fence places him in a class by himself.
