Leaping and Running' are both exercises which admit of few comparisons. We do not wish^ to depreciate either ; but to compare tbera as interesting amusements to Wrestling, would be ridiculous. It is certainly a desirable thing to outstrip our competitors in any exercise ; and therefore to excel in leaping has been an object of ambition to many ; but the interest it excites is comparatively small, as it is entirely destitute of any appendage to recommend it to the patron- age of the public.
