| GENTLENEE'S #SADDLERS-
| There were only four entries In the
class for gentlemen's saddlers. and with
! the exception of Mrs Blair Johnsons
Robin A'Dair and N1cIpmb's Golden Rod.
| none of these could be properly termed
saddle horses. Neither of these performed
well, and there was at no time seen what
could properly be called a canter. Mrs.
Johnson's horse got the blue. and Chip
nunk c.. w. Smiths hunter. the red.
| The third went to Vests Lady Marjorie.
"who was clearly In the wrong class.
| Golden Rod was given the fourth, though
| he probably deserved first. A'Dair's per-

1t was when the sporting tandems were
called that the crowd began to take
real live and paramount interest In the
| game that was going on. There were two
| entries from the Mountain View. Farm
and one entered by John P. Dulany. In
the lead OF this latter team was Kath-
| leen, we'll known to Richmonders. She
never let her traces slack and was lh-
orally appIauded. Fashion was at the
y heel Of one of the West entries, while
David Harum and Patience made up the
other The last named made a particu-
larry snowy team, and they gave the vet
q arrE of the Dulany stables a close race
for the first honors.
JUMPING CLASS.
When the jumping was begun Vests
first leader refused to take the jumps,
and left it between Patience and Kath-
leen. With West and Dulany up there
followed one of the closest fights OF the
evening.
Both horses made a perfect perform.
ance over the four jumps, and were sent
at them again Again a clean score was
the result. OF the next trial Kathleen
had the better of it. and she got the blue,
the red being put on Patience. Then
happened something that took the crowds
breath. The winners were put over the
jumps abreast and cleared them perfect
ly and right together amid storms of
cheering.
LADIES HUNTERS
The next class was for ladies' qualified
hunters. and the most disappointing thing
about 1t was that there was only one
lady to ride This was Mrs. Blair john
son, who on chipmunk. made a sensa-
tional ride, and succeeded in capturing
the third ribbon. There was pretty
display of timber topping in this class,
and a tie had to be ridden of between
Guy Rock, Chipmunk, Bachelor and Kath-
leen.
The first went to the splendid gray
ge!ding, Guy Rock. Bachelor won sec
ond and Kathleen the fourth.
The last the tevening and the mos
exciting from a sensational point OF View
was the class for the best pair OF hunt
crs, to be shown over the jumps together.
There were eight pairs entered. and
while some were scratched others had
been procured in their places. and fine
exhibition was given. Mr.. r. NJ Taylor's
nair. Guy Rock and Easter. who did so
we'll at the Richmond show, did not break
the record they set there, and they were
closely matched by chipmunk and Car
nett ripple and Patience and The Min
strcl. Going with a dash and right to-
cetl5er, these hunters went over the hur-
dies almost as II they were worked on
the small springs, and the crowd yelled
in its mad excitement It was cold ana
the show was most over for the night.
but still the crowd fingered to see who
would win.
Patience and The Minstrel, Of the Noun
tain View Farm. were first; Guy Rock
and Easter. Mr.. r. n. Taylor's entry,
