OF horse shows in the selection Of
judges, and generally assisting the
tmana cement with view if possible, of
raising the American horse show to a
standard of still greater efficiency than
that which at present exists Mr.. Har-
~ E. Field, manager Of the Boston and
other horse shows, has been intrusted
with the task of canyasing the subject
of such an association, and he told me
that he has found it unanimously ap-
proved wherever he has brought it up
before horsemen.
That the American horse is wonder
fully improving, owing a great deal TO
the influence of shows, is demonstrated
conclusively by the fact that horses
which several years ago won blue rib
bons would not be good enough for
competition in these days. 1t is also a
notable fact that blue ribbons were cap
tured this year at both the Dublin and
Crystal palace horse shows by Ameri-
can animals. TIE Crystal palace exhi-
bition occupies the same relative posi-
ton in England as does the Madison
square Garden affair in this country.

getting, hunters and saddle horses and
the third is for mares years Old and
over, breeding and racing qualities to
be considered.
There are 4 classes for the ever oop-
ular hunters. The entries are so many
that it is probable that the association
will be obliged to resort to its reserved
right of ordering preliminary trials for
the purpose of wedding out the poorer
horses. This will insure the best kind
OF sport in the finals.
Included in the hunting classes are
the usual qualified ones for heavy, mid
die and light weights and ladies' hunt
ers. There are also special thorough
bred class and three others-heavy,
middle and light weight-for green
hunters.
The most interesting classes from the
spectators point of view, however, are
the Corinthian, in which both qualified
and green hunters will be allowed to
compete. In the open to all high jump
for the first trial the bars will be placed
at a height of feet. They will then be

The result was Is tricks. If fourth best
had been led by north and south had
not returned the trump, as would have
been quite likely, in view of the hand
he held, then east and west would have
made eight tricks. 1t is just such keen,
quick and accurate perception at the
right moment which makes the great
gain in hand so often heard of.
Many players-nearly all perhaps,
are often much exercised how to play
second hand on the lead of an honor.
The following from Charles S. Street,
one OF the many would-be authorities on
! whist, may assist such players as have
not made up their minds which is the
best system to follow:
There are numerous exceptions to the
time-honored rule of playing low, sec
ond hand. There are five cardinal prin-
ciples fer correct second hand play.
First-Play ace on an honor led.
Second-Holding any combination
from which you would lead high, play
high second hand
Third-Holding but two cords, cover
a card led higher than the eight.
Fourth-Holding t1ree cards, cover
an honor with an honor
Fifth-Holding any number of cards.
with the ten, cover an honor led
Returning to the fourth principle
that of covering an honor led with
three cards in suit, it can be easily dem
onstrated that the play is sound Many
players do not cover knave led, hold
ing king and two small, or queen and
two small. Many fail to cover the
queen led, holding king and two small
Of course second hand knows that
the two other honors are beyond
him. Suppose you hold king and two
small, and player to your right leads
the supporting knave. If your partner
holds both ace and queen, it makes no
difference whether you cover the knave
with king or not. but should third hand
hold ace and queen, you lose all three
tricks in that suit by not covering.
If you cover, the knave, king and ace
may all fall to the first trick. Queen will
then win the second trick, and ten the
third. If the adversarieS hold the ten,
they will win the third trick; but this
would have been theirs in any event
IL Jul PAL TIC ltl nc Will
take the third trick-a clear gain of one
for your side.
Holding Queen and two low, the
knave led to your right, the same rea-
sonirg is sound, with this exception:
If third hand DIS both ace and
king, and is weak in trumps, he may
go up with the king With queen led
and holding king ard two others, it
is just as important to cover. If the
queen is led from queen, knave and
another, your king is gone any way
you play, if third hand holds ace. If
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1898-10-30

from queen and one low, you lose
possible knave in your partners hand
by not covering.
The following is an excellent rule TO
follow and will gain the player tricks
Always cover an honor led if you hold
the ten, with any number of cards. If
you lose the first trick, you have the
second best guarded, and have begun
to establish that suit. Holding four
chettes-cards above and below the one
ledt-it is wise to cover Thus holding
king, 10, s and 8, play s on a led.
Or, with ace. knave. 8 and 4, play
knave on 10 led. not the small one.
The knave 8 is fourchette over the 10.
The fall of a low card later is not a
trump call.
"All conventions in leads which an
nounce strength or weakness in trumps
are unsoundI In the contest for the
Hamilton trophy, at the recent congress,
but one instance was noted during the
five days play, in which an invitation
lead gained a trick, against several
cases where opponents profited largely
by the information thus vouchsafed.
Moreover, the negative information,
which was conveyed when strength in
trumps or reentry cards was denied,
gave opponents valuable cues On more
than one occasion.
In trump echoes, that which an
nounces exactly three trumps, is in
comparably superior to any system
which provides for the declaration Of
three or four, at one snd the same time.
without entering upon the details
connected Herewith. the difficulties
attending the play Of second in hand,
may be greatly simplified if players will
constantly bear in mind that in many
cases the situation is analogous to the
lead.
False cards tend to disturb partner
more than they do opponents.
illnesses lose more tricks than they
gain. Without resorting to either of
these mora or less fascinating forms Of

must be ridden BY gentlemen riders
who are members Of some recognized
hunt club. There is always 4 good
deal Of sport in watching the perfor-
manceS in these classes, and when they
are to be judged there is always an ex-
ira rush of people to watch the fun.
There are several classes for hack
neys, and these snowy horses are al
ways popular. The roadster classes
have a good list of entries this year,
and the miscellaneous harness horse
classes are more interesting than ever
and include the French coach horses,
half breeds, cab horses, heavy draft
horses and carriage and delivery
horses.
The classes for ponies for which the
little folks always take so great an in
teSest, promise good showing. The
usual tandem and four-in-hand COM
petitions will also give plenty of oppor-
tunity for exhibitors of delicacy and
skill in handling the reins. The four
finland team for which Mr.. Albert c.
Bostwick, Of New York, recently paid
$4,000, will be shown in many classes
by their new owner. The leaders COM
prise the sensational pair of bay mares
Lady Ursula and Lady Flava, the
equals of which in head, neck and gen.
eral conformation are seldom seen. The
wheelers consist of the great pair of
bay ge,dings Lord Chumley and Lord
Chesterfield. The mares are 1872 hands
high and the geldings 1873. Altogether
they form magnificent four and will
make a sensation when shown in the
ring.
Another splendid harness horse that
will be shown is Coxey. the 1896 cham
pion carriage horse. He belongs to Mr..
F. c. Bates and is one of the most fam
cied horses for the blue ribbon this
year. He has won more ribbons proba-
bly, than any other horse now living,
and has been shown all over the coun-
try.
Among the special features this year
will be the exhibition Of the white
wings" of the New York street clean
ing department with their horses and
carts. The Waldorf-Astoria cup, val
ued at $500, for the best gig horse will
again be competed for and the Brew
ster & Co. plate for the best appointed
park turnouts. The exhibitions OF the
mounted police, with their wonderfully
trained animals which seem 10 dis
play almost human intelligence, is an
other feature Of interest.
During the recent Newport horse
show a number of gentlemen interested
in the progress of such affairs forrnu-
lated a plan for the organization of a
Horse Show Exhibitors Association
which will in all likelihood be incorpo-
rated during the coming horse show
week" Among other objects the asso-
citation will have fer its aim the out
