OF Queen Bee: Kath' en-. and Up-to-Date
Mrs. Shaw's bay mare was the recipient
of more applause than any entry that
has been exhibited this week. While she
made the jumps. her father. Mr.. c. D
Langhorne. sat in the judges stand and
intense interest and qualification.
Buck came near a dangerous fall at
the fence. with Mr.. Beattie up. The
crowd held its breath as the handsome
chestnut veered out of his course. He
cleared in grand style over the hedge,
and, barring his bad performance at the
fence on the first try. he maintained his
good reputation.
Queen Bee brought the spectators to
their feet Her performance. with Mrs
Shaw up: was fast and grand Only
almost too gently to be heard.
D4EFICULT TO DECIDE.
The Judges could agree on the awards
only after a long consultation. during
which time the crowd waited in restless
ca gerness to know the result. When the
blue ribbon was pinned on Up-to-pate
cheers mingled with Kisses broke out
The crowd wanted Queen Bee. and the po-
sition of second place given to MIS-.
shaws horse did not satisfy the spec
ia tcrs.
The judges have not been able to be
satisfied that Queen Bees conformation
is what it ought to be. but. nevertheless
showed life and action that was not
suspected from her stranstill appearance
Kathleen was unplaced. When she en-
tered the ring. the crowd gave her a
very impressive. She knocked once. but
in other leaps she made the fence in
smoothest style.

otherwise he was not behind the best
exhibitions. He drew the fourth prize
Tip Top was placed third. His per-
fcrmance was TO stronger than kath-
leen's, although his jumps were higher
On performance last night he had no
right to outribbon Kathleen.
This stirring class put the crowd IN
just the right humor for the Corinthian
hunters that followed.
THIRTY-THREE ENTRIES.
The large number of entries in the
Corinthian c!ass-thirtythree, the Sc
cond largest class in the catalosue-kept
the judges hard at work passing on
con sormation before the animals were
sent to the jumps.
The spectators became restless under
the enforced wait. and Conductor
Iardella relieved the monotony with
lively two-step selections. but before the
horses went to the hedge there was a
movement of the spectators for de-
partule.
In this class the horses were sent over
hedge and two fences. the hedge ans
first fence being SO situated as to give
the jumper sufficient time to recover
from the hedge leap In order to take the
first fence. The second fence was high
