feature OF the fashionable Morristown horse
show yesterday. This time the high steppers
were driven in pairs for q special prize offered
by Miss Ethel Waterbury. and the entire turn
outs from the horses themselves to the foot
mems iveries. were considered by the judges
in making their award. Four handsome pairs
competed for the honors each receiving a
round OF applause from the occupants OF the
boxes as the fair owners OF the flash little
goers sent them spinning down the track past
the Rrandstand Mrs. Robert H. McCurdy
drove her BAY and chestnut steppers Billy and
Ben before vehicle Of novel desian. 1t was
a two-seated trap with flaring wckerwork
body. which suggested a small hatboat on
wheels. There was more OF utility than beauty
about the appearance of the rig, and the puz-
zled- experts finally came to the conclusion
that 1t was family picnic wagon. designed to
carry women and children and luncheon for
ALL The other three competitors. Mrs. Charles
Pfizer, Jr., Mrs. John NJ. Shaw and Miss Emma
d. Stone, drove their pairs before ladies' park
phaetons Miss stones bays. Darby and
Joan, were hooked to a basket affair with
canopy top. Mrs. Pnzer drove two unnamed
bays OF quality and style and action to a low
set vehicle OF very rich design. and Mrs. Shaw
held the reins over the bay and chestnut ponies
Winnie and Little Buttercup. the latter the
winner of third prize in the class for hackney
mares. The appearance OF the handsome
little pair was somewhat marred by the fact
that the ponies carried their heads close to-
gether fault probably due to the way the
harness was adjusted. They got the prize
after q good deal OF deliberation on the part
OF the judges. Mrs. PhZer's beautiful turnout
being placed second and Miss Stones third.
