The most interesting and unique event OF
the horse show. an innovation which de-
lighted the 900 people who were present
last night, was the contest between women
drivers for the beautiful silver cup offered
by Dean r. Low. OF Topeka, Kan. one of
the judges at this years exhibition. The
contest was won by Mrs. Frank NJ. Muir
ply, of this city, who handled the reins
with the skill of veteran whip and who
drove Mr.. Murphy's The Lady TO a hand
some Stanhope. Not the least attractive
feature of the class was the fact that two
ladies were judges. Mrs. w. B. White, OF
Cleveland, and Mrs. w. g. CARING, Of st.
Paul, Mimi, whose husbands are among
the more prominent of the exhibitors. were
selected TO preside over this class. Both
are clever horsewomen, experienced in all
the details that go to make a perfectly ap-
pointed turnout.
Seven women entered the class. In addi-
ton to Mrs. Murphy there were Miss Susan
Thompson. of this city, who drove A. r.
Thompson's Little Gem; Miss Josephine
Morss, OF this city, who drove @. B. Mox-
ley's Dixie Maid; Mrs. Frank G. Hogan, OF
Louisville, who drove Mr.. Hogan's Lady
Flora; Mrs. S. S. Hapgood. who drove
Cuba; Mrs. II. C. Knode. who drove Teddy,
and Mrs. o. c. Ham, who drove Don
Falano II took half an hour TO decide the
winners of the class. Mrs. White and Mrs
CARING were agreed that the first prize
should go to Mrs. Murphy and that the
second was rightfully the property OF Miss
Thompson; but TO decide the winner OF the
yellow ribbon was difficult proposition.
The choice lay between Miss Morss and
Mrs. Hogan, OF Louisville. The excellence
of Mr.. Moxley's Dixie Maid finally turned
the scale in Miss Morss's favor. The de-
cision of the judges was very popular with
the crowd and the announcement OF the
winners was hailed with instant applause
