Ginger Jack Wins Main Jump Five in Succession The principal event of the competitions to-day was the Royal Championship Jump final, which was won by J. L. Parsons's (Hakataramea) Ginger Jack. It was Parsons's fifty-second birthday to-day, and he won the special prize for best rider in the championship jump. Ginger Jack made a perfect round. He is a seven-year-old, bred, broken and trained by Parsons, and in his last five starts he has scored five wins.
