THE ARENA

rho hoofs ot the prize winners and the prize
.ssrs have beaten the retreat, and by the time
- naper is read Madison Square Garden
- AGAIN have lost most of the traces of
porse Show. The old announcement. made
after year, has to be made again. that the
- has surpassed all previous records as to
'-.ularity and attendance. If this goes for
AMEN years more IL Will begin to look as If
:, Horse Show were something more than
80 and it will then have TO be recognized as
..s Of the pretty important occasions of the
x.ryork year There those and their
-rrohers are considerable who think that the
..ou has gained this distinction already.
Tho frequency of the expression that the show
.os this year reached its high water mark has
-onnted the philosophical reflection that you
IN lead horses to high water mark, but you
rnot drive them to drink. Therefore, what
svsr effect the joy OF success may have on own
arc there is the comforting thought that the
torses themselves will not degenerate through
.du,eences Incidental to extreme eXaltation of
spirit
The most wemawkable thing to me- said
raet Young man in a cream colored paddock
coat who looked as if he had passed his whole
rss among rocking horses. the most wemawka-
HE thing TO me in the development Of the
bawse dortcherknow, is how they've taught
them TO wead. dontcherknow.''
~Vba' 'ier mean by that?' said the nearest
person TO him.
~Wbv. dontcher see that cawd?" said the
Young man. pointing to the placard Exit for
Horses" at the Fourth-ave- end of the Garden
q say what's the good OF that if the hawses
cawnt read ii. dontcherknow?'
The most remarka BILE thing to me- said the
other TO his neighbor on the other side, in the
Development OF jackasses, is how they manage
70 keep their ears short"
The last day of the Horse Show began with
su unusual attendance for the early hour, and
il became more and more unusual every hour
as the day went on. BY the middle of the after
noon il looked like an evening crowd. except
for the dresses. There were numerous inter
esting incidents in the ring which justified and
rewarded the large gathering.
DoNCAsTER MODELS BLUE RIBBON.
The first exhibition of the morning brought
into the ring the beautiful little English pony
Doncaster Model which was brought to Amer
lea by its owner, Robert Whitworth, Of Halifax,
England. expressly for this show. The little fel-
low easily captured his third blue ribbon
There was only one entry for the prize offered
for the herd Of Shetland ponies and this
sisted Of five owned by T. L. Watt. The rather
eyactng qualifications Of a horse suitable for
cavalry service judged TO be best fulfilled
by George Peppers Glenmore and he received
the first prize Fire Commissioner Scannell TAX
ing the second with The Dutchman.
One of the most interesting incidents Of the
Gay was the judging Of the horses exhibited by
the Street Cleaning Department. Daniel, Kama
wha and Gus took the prizes. There was gen.
eral regret that the mounted police had no ex-
hibit this year.

yachts added to his prize list in the afternoon,
starting off promptly with the first exhibition.
This was of harness horses. Whirling Cloud and
Flying Cloud Were the pair which took the prize.
Eben D Jordan, Of Boston. took second prize
with Lord Beaufort and Lord Belfast.
The appearance Of the ring in the afternoon |
vas enlivened by the presence of the senior class
from West Point. The cadets marched into the |
and stood for some time watching the /
judging OF the horses. Afterward they left the |
arena and scattered about the house. They were |
received with warm applause. They were pres
ent by invitation Of the president Of the National
Horse Show Association.
a picturesque exhibition was promised in the |
contest for the prize offered for pair Of horses
to be driven by woman, but it proved rather |
Disappointing. Besides the driver. each carriage |
had one passenger and footman. Five teams
went into the ring, entered by Eben D. Jordan, |
Miss Gladys Lawson, Mrs. J. Forbes Potter |
Mrs r F. Carman and Mrs. Harrie R. Wimsatt
The Carnan team was soon sent from the
ing for acting badly, and the Lawson pair
followed when il was found that one Of the |
hoIses was lame. Of the three pairs left it was
oecioed that Mrs. Wimsatt did not belong in the
ing as driver The judges, after seeing her
exhibit the horses for short time, sent her out
as they did Mrs. J. Forbes Potter This left |
only one team in the ring, that Of Eben D. Jor-
can-Maxine and The Baron-and they received
lhe blue ribbon. The winning pair was well |
handled By Mrs C H Wilson. AS a reason for
ordering Mrs Wimsatt and Mrs Forbes from
hs ring one Of the judges said that the condi- |
uons OF the class plainly stipulated that the
women were TO drive. and that both Of those
Anenuoned had received assistance from the men
nding with them
