AWARDING THE RIBBONS.
High Average Quality AmsnE Middle
weight Hunters-1he Little Fellows.
The early hours Of the morning were
taken up largely with the preliminary tria
over the jumps Of the entries in Class 1903
The entry list that walked into the rims
In answer to the bugle call for Class 9s-
horses, middleweight hunters, conforma.
ton and quality to count equally In making
the awards-was one OF such high avera ge
quality az to tax even the expert In the
ring who was to pass final judgment. When
plished and the gates had closed behind the
departed ones. eight still remained.
FL Queso. a bay geldins that seemed
almost perfection in conformation and
manners. led the eight In the circle OF the
ring az II, by superiority. he belonged there.
His nominator, Miss F. +. Webb, had rea
son to feel proud Of her entry. Irish Bob,
a snowy chestnut sent In by Adam Beck
followed, and then came Cortland H. Smiths
Ogunquit. ". s. Sowers's Beaucaire, George
Peppers Bloomington. A. J. Cassatt' s
Ruby. F. Ambrose Clark's Copper King
and A. j. Cassatt's Klondike. 1t was
plain to see that the superb bay, which
headed the catalogue list and the line that
cantered the ring, also held first place
in public favor as demonstrated in no I'M
certain manner. 1t is rare that the public
fail to come pretty near a correct verdict.
and 1t was true In this case. Miss webb's
FL Queso was called to the centre Of the
bride. Ogunquit. the entry of Cortland
Smith, wore the red. George Pepper got
yellow for Bloomington.
The half dozen tiny Shetlands that re-
sponded to call 81 made a. much fuss and
clatter as II they were full-sized thorough
breds. The conditions called to be shown
under saddle, and the midgets trotted and
cantered about the ring in a manner to
delight all the little folks in the Garden
Charles Z. Bunn's solid brown Abelard
caught the ringside fancy and also the eve
Of the Judge. The real sport came after
the awards Monte Carlo, a skew bald
fellow Of more inches than the blue knot
winner, got the red, and Exile of Pittsford,
black Of still more inches, won the yellow.
When the ribbon winners were sent in a
parade around the ring the midgets put up
a fast canter; in fact. the size Of the ring
permitted them to show all the speed they
had. In this contest the blue winner was
sadly outclassed. and the spotted red win
ner. to Use a common phrase, could run
rings around him.
Every one OF the eight entries in Glass e5
answered tho call. II was for ponies
not Shetlands. under twelve hands. All
styles Of appropriate vehicles were shown
in the exhibit. Just In Time, the entry
Of Thomas l.. Watt, was shown before a
governess's cart and driven by little
horsewoman. whose skill did not lack for APP
probation by the public. MIS-. John Gerken,
In a phaston. behind Donoaster Model, q
model Of miniature equine conformation,
was, as in every exhibit where she appears,
warmly received. Mrs. Gerkens turnout
caught the critical eye OF the judge and the
blue knot was pinned to her little horse
Jim Blaine. a lay only 10 hands. entered
by H. c. Hoskier, got the red. When the
skilful little miss drove Just In Time from
the ring he wore the white,
The Shetlands had the ring again in Class
q and the pets Of he little folks were quickly
passed in and out. The winner. had been
shown and had been winners earlier in the
day, with the exception Of Chestnut a st ocky
stolid little fellow of ~ inches, who wore
the blue knot when Charles +. Bum drove
him from the ring.
The remainder Of the morning was given
up to hackney exhibits. In Class 81 for
yearlings, colts foaed in 1901. four splen-
did specimens kept the attention Of the
Judges until long after the short time al
lotted in the catalogue. Frederick c. Stevens
sent in two, Sir Valentine, a dark, rich
chestnut, with one white an,ils behind,
and America, a light chestnut with faxen
name and tail both 10y fandango Ebcn
D. Jordan sent Dainty Duke. a Ozark chest
nut, with blaze and four stockings, by
his noted sire. Lord Denny III. A. j. Cas-
satt, az exhibitor only, sent Berwyn. a dark
chestnut, With three stockings. The con-
ditions we're that height was not to be- con-
sidered but all seemed rs fully matured
a. II more years had been added Mr.
stevens won two knots, bu, he missed the
blue and beat the white. His America re-
ceived the red and Sir Valentine he yellow
Dainty Duke wore the blue when he left the
ring.
colts came next and again Mr. Jordan and
Mr. Stevens met, the latter, as before. hav-
ing two nominations. This time he " on both
the blue and the red, his Bonanza. "A light
chestnut, with star and four white ankles,
catching the eye Of the judges for the first
prize Fandango's Rufus. dark chest
nut, with stripe and one white ankle, fol-
lowed with the red. Matches. DENLY
by Lord DENLY, the entry Of +. u. Jordan
seemed, entirely lacking In education. II
would scarcely seem probable that per-
verseness alone could prompt him to act
no awkward. 1t WAS with difficulty that
the groom could get him around the ring
Aside from lack Of manners he was rather
light and not as substantial in conforma-
ton IA the more fortunate nominations.
Glass 23 for hack. ey stalliOis., years
old or over, Rad three entries and while
the judges delib rated long and carefully,
II seemed to al out sider that the only point
at issue was as to the blue and red Bran
don, a dark solid chestnut, by Cadet, bred
by W. Seward Webb. and nominal cd by
Mrs. John Gerken, looked the ideal cham
pion. The judges placed him second.
The blue knot went to Prince Crompton,
a snowy light chestnut. by Danegelt
Eben ID. Jordan was the exhibitor, but not
the breeder This fellow had good act ion
and some show of speed and the judges
gave him the preference over Brandon.
Romantic bred by II. Nick. Twombly and
exhibited by William Coleman Freeman
