Children Have Pretty Rigs.
When the childrens class came ON
only one of the twenty entries was
missing, the exception being the four
ponies nominated by August A. Busch,
of st. Louis, who was unable by rea-
son of the floods to bring any of his
horses to this city. The show ring
was filled to running over with little
folks and their diminutive equipages
Of all kinds, and for the time being all
alse was forgotten. The rules merely
required that the pony should not ex-
coed fourteen hands, and should be
driven by child of less than sixteen
years old, and that was sufficient scope
to permit of many kinds and sizes of
ponies, ranging from Irene Cummings
many toy horses and weighing but 215
pounds, to some that barely could
qualify as fourteen hands. One Of the
handsomest turnouts that appeared
was, in fact, barred, because the pony
was just over size. The pony was La
RENE, a beautiful little black mare,
and she was driven to a smart gig bv
a boy, whose disappointment at find
ing himself barred awakened a re-
sponsive thrill throughout the entire
stand. The entry was that of Arnold
Shutter.
To describe all of those diminutive
equipages, with their small drivers and
passengers, would be almost an end
less task, but it may be said in a gem
eral way that each was in itself a fea-
ture of the show. First prize was
awarded to Ray McNair, with his well
matched pair of small Shetlands, which
he drove to a miniature Stanhope
Second prize also went to a pair,
Johnny and Barney, entered by F. B.
Lynch, and attached to a blackboard in
which were four little children. Third
prize was won by two very small girls,
with yellow curls. who drove Herman
Schroeder's Trixy in a bird's-eye ma
pie village cart, and seemed to be hav-
ing more fun out of the affair than
anybody. When Ringmaster Braith-
waite raised his silk hat to these two
little misses as they drove from the
arena, the spectators applauded most
heartily.
Nearly all OF the jumpers at the
grounds appeared in a competition for
that class. in which the only local en-
try was Grayco, owned by e. N.
Saunders Jr. Grayco acquitted himself
very creditably. but the three prizes
went to George Peppers horses. first
to Myopia, second to Rupert and third
to Pearl. All of the prize winners did
some fine jumping. and Rupert and
Pearl went over the bars several times
at six feet six inches. Myopias high
jump was six feet ten inches In this
class Mr.. Ashbrook showed Thistle
down and DR.. Letter Kildare, and Mr..
Pepper showed. besides the prize win
ners, Lord Mimic, Kingfull and Sem
ator.
One Slight Accident.
In the course Of this jumping con-
test the spectators were given quite
shock when one time Rupert refused
the jump. and falling in his effort to
stop, threw his rider, Peter Roche. The
horse fell partly upon the rider, and in
his struggles it appeared to those who
stood around as though he were tram
ping the man under his hoofs Roche
scrambled out from under, however.
without apparent injury, and gamely
remounting the same horse put him
over the jump.
In a competition for saddle horses
of the walk, trot and canter variety.
first prize was won by My Surprise,
owned by George Pepper; second, by
Boy, owned by F. r. Bigelow, of St
Paul, and third by Lady Winsome
The competition for polo ponies
brought out three of that class. one
Indian pony and Alfred H. Pope's
horse Kid. First prize went to Foxy
CUTLER, ridden by A. E. Ashbrook:
second to Child OF the Alamo. ridden
