Coachmen Compete.
Six local coachmen competed for
| prizes awarded on conduct and driving,
and first prize was won by Abe Neu-
strom, ccachman for A. w. Merriam;
second by Henry Morris, coachman for
George c. Finch, and third by James
Lee, coachman for M. H. Foley.
The event for uniforms brought out
only three of the turn-outs of that
class, but they needed the entire arena,
and several times an accident seemed
imminent by reason of the rather reck-
less actions of the team driven by Mr..
Ashbrook. In one Of the turns one of
the ring grcomS was knocked down by
Mr.. Ashbrook's leader, so forcibly that
he turned complete somersault. FL
| nally, before the award of prizes, Mr..
Ashbrook was requested to retire with
his team. which consisted of Sen Sen,
Sensation and Flirt. First prize went
to George Peppers team, Creighton
and Parader and Mcdonald. which was
so ably driven by Peter Roche, Mr..
Peppers man, as to provoke hearty
| applause. Second prize was awarded
to the second Ashbrook team, All But
King and More Than King and Mary
Louise, which was driven by Fred
Bork.
The programme closed with high
jumping by George Peppers horses,
and this feature was so heartily en-
joyed as to hold the spectators to the
finish. In this event Pearl jumped Z
feet inches, and Myopia and Rupert
feet inches. Pearl was awarded
| first, Myopia second and Rupert third.
The other Jumpers shown were Senator
Kfngfull and Lord Mimic.
The announcement was mode last
evening that w. G. CARING has bought
from M. S. Burrows, of Duluth, the
horse Little Wonder that won first in
the park horse class Wednesday night.
The price paid is said to have been
| 81 900.
Little Steers Have Display.
Children and their diminutive steeds
dominated the matinee programme.
There were numbers on the programme
for the full-sized horses of various
kinds, but beside the pony events
they faded into insignificance, and the
adult exhibitors were made to feel de-
c1dedly at a disadvantage. In the
stand, as we'll as in the arena. the chill
dren ruled. and there was scarcely a
box that did not have its group of lit
tie ones. There were four events which
the young folks had all to themselves,
and in all Of these except the compe-
tition for the best girl rider the en-
tries were well filed and post entries
were numerous.
Long before the judges were in their
places the park began to swarm with
children of both sexes and all ages,
mounted on ponies Of all kinds and
sizes. from the Shetland that might be
picked up and carried to the broncho

was only by the exercise of great vigi
lance on the part of the management
that the eager childrn could be kept
out of the show ring for the first two
events, and when those were over they
sWarmed all over the place. First the
ponies alone were judged. the require
mentS being merely that they should
not exceed fourteen hands and should
be ridden by boy or girl not more
than sixteen years of age. Fourteen
appeared out of an entry list of eight
cen. and the judges, taking for granted
the gallantry of the boys, awarded first
prize to the only entry ridden by
girl, Trixys whose rider was Helen
Schroeder. Trixy won a prize on the
previous day in the class for pony equi-
pages, and is pretty little animal en-
titled to consideration on her own
merits. Second prize was given to
Johnny, little black, ridden by Nor
man hCOIuI0, anu lIlITU 10 Jerry, an
other black, ridden by H. Quinlan.
Both of these, with mates. also took
prizes in the pony eQuipage class Of
Thursday.
Boy Rough Riders Compete.
The class for the best boy rider not
more than sixteen years old brought
out eighteen candidates. and there was
lively scurrying around the track as
they exhibited their equestrian ability
Some very good horsemanship was
displayed. and much prayerful contem-
plation on the part of the judges was
necessary before a decision could be
reached. First prize was given to Frank
Mills, second to Roswell Proutty, and
third to Theodore Abbott
only three girls competed for the
prizes offered to them for excellence
In riding. and there was a trophy for
each of them. Nora Bracklin won
first, Ernestine Miller second, and
Helen Schroeder third

Powell, and North Star Denmark. Rob
ert A. Eaton, Minneapolis DR.. An
derson won first prize.
The programme closed with a no.
tato race for boys, and as there were
twenty of them engaged, it proved
highly exciting affair and held the
spectators until. at the end of twenty
minutes of lively fitting, the youthful
knights were called upon to lay down
their arms. When the dust of battle
had cleared away it was found that
Roy Currie had been awarded first
prize, Bennett Tibbils second. and
Carl Schneider third.
