ionables and their many out-of- town
guests, will journey to Chevy Chase and
do homage to the equine king. who is
Iording it over all he surveys in those
parts, Just now.
Yesterday, the first day of the horse
show, brought out goodly number,
with Miss Alice Roosevelt as. possibly,
the most distinguished of the many
prominent persons present.
From a social viewpoint the horse
show was an unqualified success. Elk
quisitely gowned women held court
either within their beautifully appoint
ed equipages surrounding the show ring,
or while occupying seats on the impro-
vfsed uncovered stand. Well-groomed
men were much in evidence and danced
attendance upon the grand danes, and
withstood the running FIRE of pertinent
questions with Christian forbeaTanoe.
The judging. however. can hardly be
termed satisfactory. That the awards
were in most instances popular ones,
there can be no doubt. since eacn blue
ribbon was greeted with storm of APP
plause. yet the best horse was not al
ways the fortunate one. Especially ap-
plicable is this to Class s. when Larz
Anderson's Dame was picked as the best
of a group of sixteen saddle horses.
Dame, a handsome and snowy bay, is
built more on the lines of coacher than
a saddler, while DR.. Elmer Sothoron's
Jack Pot, a beautiful chestnut. with the
manners of Chesterfield, the gait of
cradle, and the most consistent perform
er in the ring was passed unnoticed. The
grandstand resounded with a storm OF
disapproval when Jack Pot was passed
up and took no pains to conceal its dis
appreciation.
CORTLAND Smiths Ogunquist was
shown in this class also and was award
ed the red ribbon With such a weird
selection for first prize, Mi. Smith was
fortunate in not getting the gate before
his ranging big brown had circled the
ring. There is no comparison between
Dame and Ogunquist. The latter has a
long string of ribbons TO his credit, is
an ideal show horse and was as fit as
fiddle yesterday, whereas Dame had
little more than a silky coat and
nervous temperament to recommend her
TO the judges.

Smith, swept everything before her in
the ladies hunter class, the last but
one event on the program Seven hunt
srs came Into the ring when the bugle
sounded, Mrs. Smith changing her mount
three times. BY her clever work in the
saddle Mrs. Smith piloted her three
horses TO victory, getting the blue with
Chappie Lee, the red with Tip Top, and
the white rosette with Up-to-Date.
That Mrs. Smith was prevented from
making clean sweep and cornering the
ribbon market in this event, is alone
due to Miss Langhorne, who had the
mount on W D. Denegree's Duke of Or
leans, he getting the third. or orange
ribbon
DR.. Sothoron's Jack Pot was with
drawn from this event. since no one
could be found to ride him.
The runabout class brought out a
large field, the honors falling to Larz
Anderson and Woodbury. Blair, the form
er taking first and second ribbons with
Dora and Firefy. respectively, and the
Iatter's Moritz and Max coming in for

The fourth event. Glass l. was by
