Of the week. When asked why he had not /
brought Black Squirrel his beautiful gated /
black stallion which Miss Esther Byrne |

he had sold him to A. b. Clements OF |
Butte, Mont, for fi.7oO DR.. Steiner will |
assist In the judging.
The committee which visited Omaha yes |
terday in the interests OF the new 81. Paul |
Auditorium was AZ the Horse Show for |
short time last night under the guidance |
Of Secretary Mcvann Of the Commercial
club. The members OF the delegation were
enthusiastic over the appearance OF the
Auditorium and the ease with which it
adapted itself to the. various forms Of en-
tertainment
During the ten minvtes' intermission
special exhibition wasf given by the high
school horses Helen Walker. owned by
o. J. Moores Of Columbia, Mo-, American
Beauty. owned By r. A. Ashbrooke OF
Kansas City, and MissoNri Beauty, owned
by E. L. Haydon Of Marshall Mo. The
horses were put through their various gaits
just as they would be IN competition and
were roundly sDplauded.
Hard Points Sfdr Judges.
Again last night was the opening number
full Of hard points for the judges to decide
go about 1t did last fall Rhea w. and
Easter Belle are hard pair to beat, but
Emma r. and her new mate, The King,
owned by Don Riley of8St. Joseph proved
to be too smooth actors in the eyes Of the
judges and were given the blue ribbon.
Crow & Murray made their first appear
ance with Baron Buckner and Daisy Buck
ner and were given third place The pretty
pair of bays owned by Miss Wilks of Gait,
Ontario, are truly fine pair of steppers,
but the Riley pair seemed to have an edge
on color, age, conformation and style.
! In the gig class there were some splendid
horses shown and the program was set
back to some extent by the inability of
| the judges TO make a decision. Creighton
| was there in all his splendor, but he found
| himself outciassed at the Omaha Horse
Show in spite of the fact that he is able
| to carry away the blue ribbons at the
eastern shows. Omaha had horse en-
tered and the vast crowd which filled the
| Auditorium knew from the start that Hal
McCords Only One was to make a strong
bid for the blue ribbon. Horse alone
| counted, and equipment, in which Mr.
McCord excelled counted for naught Only
One had the style and action which suited
the judges and won over Lady Elenor and
| Sporting Duchess. who finished In the
order named.
In the walk, trot and canter class there
was considerable competition, hut the
skilled horses OF the Pepper stable were
too much for the horses unused to the
show ring and Yankee took first and Glen
dale second. Fred Bourke, driver for Ash
brooke, rode the brown gelding Of Weir q
Rogers of Lemars and took third money.
Prettiest Ring of the Show.
The most beautiful ring presented by the
| horses and enripaPas which hoe a,,o. A.n,.
seen at the Omaha show was in the pair to
park trap class. The entries were Young
Bob and Kimball, owned by W. II. McCord
and driven by his sister, Mrs Parker of St
Joseph; Emperor and Prince, owned by
Ward Burgess and driven by Mrs Charles
c. Kountze; Mac and Bob, owned by A. d.
Brandeis; Bessika and Commodore owned
by E. p. Peck and driven by his daughter,
Mrs. Joseph Barker, and the Duke and
Duchess, owned by A. c. Smith
Judge Pratt of Little Rock, who was not
judging in this class, was completely car
ried away by the display and said: you
can't say too much or heap too many en-
comiums Of praise upon that ring The
entry list is large. the horses splendid. the
equipages, and appointments perfect.
have never seen that exhibit excelled any
where and l have been to a great many
shows. 1t adds life to show when the
women drive. These Omaha women are all
right with the ribbons, as I suppose you
noticed the manner fn-which they reversed
and cut figure eights around the ring"
Appointments won the day for Mr. Nc
Cord. as the judges record showed that
his pair scored SO per cent out of possible
co. and his appointments scored fully 10 per
cent. Mr.. Peck's pair was awarded second
money and the award met with popular

stock Yards Horses Parade.
A special for saddle horses used in reg
ular work at the stock yards brought forth
six entries. The horses were sent through
series of evolutions by the judges. in
GLIDING making quick steps and rounding a
chair at high speed. Sol Degan, the win
ner of the potato races last year. carried
of first money and j. s. Imam took second,
while his son Russell, with his pretty bay
mare May, took third.
The real sport OF the evening was fur
nished in the polo match. showing polo
ponies capable of carrying UP to It's pounds.
The contestants were the riders rather than
the ponies. They were Fred Bourke Jim
Murray and A. q Ashbrooke. They were
on their dignity while the Judges were ex-
aiming the ponies and when they were or
dered to show the action OF the ponies In a
polo game the sport was on.
In the match Murray and Ashbrooke
again furnished the fun fer the spectators.
They are a pair of clowns when in the
show ring that are hard to beat. Both of
; good size for the diminutive ponies they
cut up all sorts OF antics. Last night Ash
: brooke grabbed hold of Murray and tried
, to unhorse him with the result that he
slightly tore the clothes Of the Canadian
, Jim. Murray saw chance TO grab
little rest so he rushed to the judges
stand and cried ooh. 1 say, judges, see
that man. He has torn me new wistcut
for which Hi pide shillns in Texas last
week" While the judges laughed at the
fun they would take no official notice OF
the accident.
The judges gave the prize to Fred Bourke
T. the ponies all being owned by E. A. Ash
brooke, MurrayJw1s given second and Ash
brooke third. Ashbrooke tried TO get Muir
. rays ribbon, and they both tried to get the
. ribbon from Bourke The upshot was that
they were all endorsed and Murray was
left sprawling on the ground while Ash
e brooke and Bourke rode from the ring on
the same pony with all Of the ribbons.
