ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE. JUMPING AT AGRICULTURAL SHOWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE “HERALD”. Sir, – I see from your letter in your paper that a “Subscriber to the Appleby Show” seems to have been a little annoyed at being kept an hour and a half from an excellent dinner – a thing quite sufficient to vex Job himself. The delay he attributes to the hurdle leaping. No doubt it took up a considerable time, but had the judges been a little more punctual in commencing their duties, things would not have been so bad, and “Subscriber” must remember the leaping is a most attractive feature, as can easily be proved by the large number of spectators who don’t care to come into the ground until near the time when the jumping commences; and no doubt the committee are quite are that if they do away with the leaping, the gate money will fall off considerably.
