AS the sun was sinking behind the
hills last evening procession ofhorse-
men and hOrsewomen filed from the
large enclosure at Ninth and Wood
lawn avenue. and the second annual
exhibition of the Delaware Horse
Show Association was at an end. The
crowd was the largest of the week. 1t
was successful from social sports
mans standpoint, and the attendance,
although large, was not as large as was
expected.
There was one feature that marred
yesterday afternoons performance 1t
was the withdrawal OF the horses en-
tered by the Radnor Hunt Club. and
CORTLAND II. Smith, of the Hampton
Hunt Club. The club and Mr..
Smith tled the protest on the ground
that a green hunter, Alice Ben Bolt,
owned by J. l.. Stackhouse. was entered
In with the team of the Lima Club yes
terday as a qualified hunter. The pro-
test was filed within twenty-f0ur
hours. The judges claimed that the
protest should have been made when
the horses were in the ring. When the
judges made this announcement the
two clubs withdrew their horses. This
necessitated the cutting of several
classcB. and detracted from the inter-
est
Livingston J. Biddle's tandem team
was awarded the blue ribbon in the
class where he was pitted against j.
Edward Addlcks. A peculiar feature
in the show was that Mr. Biddle's
horse. Beauty, was awarded blue
ribbon over Elmer Il. Mitchell's Har-
mony I'd. When 1t came to Judging
for the championship Mr.. Mitchell's
horse got the red ribbon and Mr.. Bid
dies the yellow. Monheimer Brothers
Lafayette was given the blue ribbon.
IL was a matter Of comment this
year that Miss Margaret Esrey, of
Chester. and Miss Dollar, did not ride
in tho hunter classes. Last year they
rode their own animals, and their
handling of the wiry steeds was
feature OF the show. This year their
jumpers were ridden by friends. AL
though Miss Esrey did not ride a
jumper this season her admirers had
a chance to see her mounted on Will
/ liam II. Churchman's Baron Rassen-
dyl yesterday afternoon. He won the
blue ribbon, defeating ]. Edward
Addicks' Alice. ridden by Miss Rosalie
Wilson.
RED ROCK A WINNER

hunters. Colonel James C. McCombs
Red Rock won the blue ribbon, beat
ing Mrs. S. d. Riddles Medicine Hat,
DIR. c. A. Dohans Trouble and Miss
l1srey's Nancy Black.
After the graceful. active and fast
lhorses that have been appearing for
two days the heavy brewery horses
looked odd in the ring. II. J.. Stoeclle's
Duke and Willie won the blue ribbon,
and the Hartmann and Fehrenbach
Company's Alfonso and Castor, the
lred.
