The programme at the horse show last
night represented many OF the luxuries of
the horse show arena The show began
with a class for saddle horses, mares or
geldings. in which the class must show five
gaits. The class was imposing in the books
because IL had forty-six entries. OF these
entries Mat s. Cohen's four-year-old Jack
Diamond was easily the best. While he
was easily the best he was not many points
ahead of Ball Brothers Anita, a handsome
bay mare. whose performance was salts
factory. Matilda, the entry Of General Cas-
tleman. scored third in this class, and Mr..
Lawson's gorgeous Whirling Prince next.
The class was one Of the largest shown and
represented the gated saddle class in its
best performances.
The second class of the night was a reve-
iation. II resulted in Mrs. Jack Cudahys
gig horse. More Than King winning by
large fraction Charmion, the entry of W.
B. White, of Cleveland, was an excellent
actor in this class. but had not the hook
action OF More Than King, for whom Mrs.
Jack cudahy paid $500 in New York. The
third ribbon went to All But King, owned
by Mr. Ashbrook and which performed
only a trife less than his namesake, More
Than King
In the roadster class for pairs. either
gait, Lynn b. Millikan's London and Troy
were easy winners. A better gated and
more consistent pair is not often shown.
The second prize was won by ]. T. Cren-
shaw's team, which showed gaits that were
IN keeping with their uses. Mr.. Sims out
classed everything else in the field with
his pair. An Artist and Mate, who stepped
the whole course with precision and conf
dence.
One Of the principal classes Of the night
was the unicorn class. which had three
entries A unicorn class requires two
wheelers, hitched abreast, with one lead
e.. The entries were A. L. Ashbrook's
All But King. More Than King and l Am
q King: Mr.. Whites Gibson Girl, Gypsy
Boy and Dolly Warden. and Mr.. Palmers
The Parader. Creighton and Oh Me oh My.
There was not much judgment required to
select Mr.. Ashbrook's trio as the winners.
high-acting team OF Ashbrook was invinci-
BILE in this class. although 1t was the first
time Mr.. Palmer colors had been lowered
IN defeat with his trio.
The high school exhibition, which was
practically a championship performance,
was abundantly interesting to the specta-
tors. American Beauty proved the third
prize winner of the night for Ashbrook
She won by reason of her fdelity to the
movements of travers and renvers, and
her ability to step the piaffre. Mr.. Law
sons Gorgeous Whirling Prince was an
inferior second. Columbus, the ex-cham-
pion. being a miserable third, considering
his accomplishments
In the class for polo ponies, A. Ash
brooks Ping Pong outclassed the whole
field. The only animal that approached
him was his own Foxy CUTLER, a brown
gelding who took to the work with an ease
that makes him a probable winner IN next
years classes George E. Palmer's Melan-
'choly Rose was a poor third ahead Of a
field that was much worse than he was.
In the jumping classes a roam gelding
that saw the light of America four months
ago was the winner. The predictions
favored Timber Topper, fine jumper
from the Palmer stable. Timber Topper
was keen and would not take the bars at
their short height McGill. who rode him,
did good job of riding as could have
been expected. The surprise of the class,
however, was in the entry of ID. II. Harris,
OF Mendon. Mich, who named a horse st.
Patrick Nobody in the 1900 people pres
ent knew what St Patrick was named.
MADAM Martinetti did know for he is a
roam gelding who came to America last
winter with a high record I'm Ireland of
