park saddle horses we're among the best
ever seen in show ring.
A horse that figured as winner in
nearly every class In which he was
shown, and that was some half dozen

years old, from the Boscobel Farm of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles II. Hurkamp.
Fredericksburg, Va This thorough
bred son OF Burlington and Pretence, by
imp Glenleg, Is highly formed and
handsome and likely to make con-
spicuous figure in the show ring as
jumper, while later on, if transferred
to the cross country division. is likely
to show UP well there also. Castlenlan
is new recruit TO horse show ranks,
as is the good-looking gray selding
Meadow Plume, but the sturdy roam
gelding Hornptpe. tho big son of Young
Sanford. and Anlaret, the sensational
performer over high jumps here I'm

has won wherever shown this season.
and the same may be said of several
others in this string. Mrs. Smith roce ief&
for the first time and handled her
mounts over the jumps in manner
that brought forth frequent applause.
Both the riding and driving OF MIR
Smith was OF the mastery kind and me
