There was large attendance at
the Wawaset Driving Park yester-
day afternoon to witness the clos
ing exhibition of the horse show.
Society was as well it not more
largely represented than on any
previous day. The display of gowns
and costumes was as pleasing and
as interesting as ever.
The opinions OF the judges were
at variance in several instances with
the opinion of the spectators and one
time the judges reversed their de-
cision. 1t was most peculiar thing
and no one, not even the judges
when questioned by the exhibitors,
could explain how they came to do
1t and why. The talk about the de-
eision the judges gave against How
ard Z. Wallace on Wednesday, was
still ring-side gossip, but during
the afternoon it was whispered that
the decision was the result of an
examination a veterinarian had
made of Mr.. Wallace's horse pre-
vious to being put in the ring.
The hunters classes were some
what curtailed yesterday because
the Radnor Hunt Club and Court
land H. Smith objected to Il decision
given by the horse show officers
and withdrew all their horses. The
trouble originated over the award
in the hunt team competition on
Wednesday, when the Radnor Hunt
was defeated by the Hunt. The
latter in its exhibit vsed Alice Bolt,
Rgreen hunter, while the conditions
called for only qualified hunters.
Feeling confident that they would
have twenty-four hours i'll which
to enter a protest the Ralnor Club
md Mr.. Smith did not file a protest
until yesterday just before the ex
hibition opened.
The Lima Club replied to the
protest by claiming that it should
have been filed when the horses
were in the ring ON Wednesday or
Immediately after the event had
been decided. The officials of the
horse show upheld this contention
of the Lime, Club and the Radnor
Club and Mr.. Smith then withdrew
fheir horses from further conpeti-
tion.
Many of those present thought
that the judges gave peculiar
opinion i'll the jumping classes.
: Only performance over fences
counted in this class, and to the
mind of everybody it was apparent
that DR.. Charles A. Dohan's Acid
gave the cleanest performance for
he took every fence and barrier,
barely grazing the white wash yet
he was awarded only Il third prize.
The first was awarded to Alfred l..
Hawkins Primrose, which On the
first round gave a bad performance
toppliug over the whlte-washed
fence, and the Judges made him
give an extra performance of jump
Ing, while DR.. Dohan's horse went
over the fences only once, but even
this did not la nj him the second
prize which was captured by Miss
Margaret Esrey's Nancy Black, who
touched the White-wHshed fence
twice and baked twice at tn post
and rail, making twuretuS us, while
DR.. Dohans horse dit not make a
refusal at any barrier.
