MR.. HAYDEN WINS FAMILY TURN
OUT.
The family turnout contest was won
by James B. Hayden; Chas. H. Samson
second, and T. E. Grimes, third. There
were five entries; all from Topeka.
The fun of the evening was furnished
by the egg and spoon race. Each con-
testant is given a large wooden spoon
in which he must carry an egg around
the enclosure First, he must go around
at walk, then at trot and then a
canter. If he drops the egg he must
return to the starting point, get anoth-
er egg and begin over. The ground was
pretty we'll plastered with eggs before
Jimmy Sans won the prize.
The jumping contest was the last fea-
ture of the evening and was exciting.
There were eight entries in the jump
class which was open to all. The con-
testants were required to jump two hur-
dies at four feet, two at four and a. half
feet and two at five feet.
The noted horse Queensbury was in
the contest but did not do good work.
Queensbury is one of the best jumping
horses in America and has captured
first prizes in New York. Boston, To-
ronto, Kansas City, St. Louis and New
Orleans. At the latter place Queens
bury cleared 6 feet 4 inches and did it
easily. Queensbury is owned by Wat
son Armour who bought the horse last
! September in Toronto.
MIR. ARMOUR THROWN
Last night Mr.. Armour was thrown at
! the first try over the four feet hurdle
| but fortunately rolled from under the
/ horses feet without injury. Another
horse that was in the jumping contest
| that is well known in the east is THE
| Arrow, owned by A. E. AShbroOk In
| Philadelphia The Arrow created a
great sensation and was the favorite of
the horse show. The prizes in the jump
| ing contest went first to Cascarea, own
! ed by Dean Low; second to Bonnie
| IAaSsie, owned by A. E. Ashbrook and
ridden by Jimmy Sans, and third to
| Ladysmith. The third was really a tie
/ between Ladysmith and Arrow but as it
| was getting late the prizes was award
ed without further contest
During an intermisson the mare.
Limestone Bell, was put through some
fancy movements by E. r. Sims. This
was the hit of the evening and a better
exhibition of different fancy movements
is seldom seen. The mare is the proper
| ty of o. d. Woodward of Kansas City
and Mr. Sims has only had charge of
her during the past week. Limestone
Bell kept perfect time to the music of
Marshal's band when they played a
cake walk She will keep in perfect
measure with waltz or a two-step.
The programme for this evening is
even better than that of last night,
