drove, piled the whip. But no, Jennie

about the ring with APPARENT pride

the field. Jenny followed still sulk-

i Misses Thompson who locked picturesque
in their broad brim hats, did not seem
to take the defeat to heart.
Later the tandem team of Mr.. ]. Ed
ward Addicks with "Mr. Brown" and
the steed "Alcey" as leader, attracted
| much attention. They had power, action
and pace; were snowy and well bred
with perfect manners. They were
awarded the blue ribbon.
Glass nine WAS evidently the piece de
resistance OF the afternoon. 1t is always
interesting to see women drive if they
handle the ribbons well and this could
be said of most all the women in this
class. Round the ring they went amid
the applause of the spectators. Mrs.
A. H. G. Garrett held the ribbons over
Amelia in true horsewoman fashion.
Miss Margery Wilson showed by the
way she managed "Alcey" knowledge
of driving that is unusual in woman.
AT last the judges gave the signal and
held the blue ribbon up for "Alcey" but
"Alemia' came in very close second
winner of the red ribbon. Mrs. AleXan-
der Sellers won the yellow ribbon.
To those who would be on rapport with
this style of equipage the vote of APP

seats and harness with but little silver

read rather amusingly: "'rhc horses
should have conformation, quality. style.
all-round action, good manners and stand
quietly without being held" The law
does not say what is required of the fair
occupant.
The show had a very gay aspect yester-
day afternoon with its horses. men and
women and gay apparel and the variety
OF vehicles 1t seems very fortunate that
the passion for display is implanted in
human nature and if we owe debt of
gratitude to anybody it is to those who
make the display for ms. 1t would he

There are cyIiics who think it strange
TINT one should like all this glare and
glitter and regal, but the cynics are I'M
grateful and do not comprehend human
nature. Fo1 my part the gay panaroma
is delightful and for many reasons the
Horse Show should become a feature of
Wilmington social and sportsmans' life.
