tendance were $1,000 against 72,O0O last
year-the annual Horse Show ended last
night. There was a crowd to bid the nags
good-by but the society butterflies we're
not 40 conspicuous as before. 1t was
more of jolly, half-holiday gathering,
with an unusually large proportion of
horsewise folks. who believe that by wait
ing for the championship classes they
gather in all that IL best at the show In
tabloid form
After the four in hand class, for women
to drive. in which Mrs Thomas Hastings,
president of the Ladies' Four-ln-Hnnd
Club of this city won the blue, the
phenomenal housekeeping pony Berkeley
Bantam won with a child driving it To
cart Then to instruct by illustration how
well equipped are the street cleaning de-
partmenta of the DoroughI, band OF white
wings drove into the ring, all turned ont
as though for daily work The condition
OF the horses care taken of the carts and
harness and appearance of the drivers
were all considered.
The money prizes, of $50, 81 and $40,
were all won by exhibits from the Borough
of Brookyn's Street Cleaning Department,
Jim Grew. driver ", a. MGGlCiu. Won the
j. Kings, and the bag gcding Teddy. driver
T. O'Connor, won third prize. The only
prominence gained by the Borough of Man
haitian exhibits. although there were eleven
of them. against only six from Brook lyn,
was a ribbon TO the gray gelding Paddy,
driver j. Ryan. s=t-- ..a'.
Thus Brooklyn scored at the show in the
alpha and omega of vehicles, the highest
tyre and the most humble, for aside from
the wins by the street cleaning carts Brook
lyn exhibitors had been prominent only
in classes for carriages and appointments.
While there were but two exhibits in the
four-in-hand class with women IA whips,
a sorry sight 10 compare with the long line
to parade each Mav dt the meet OF tn"
Ladies Four-in-h hand Club the best two
teams in the country were in the ring and
the drivers sent them along in dazzling
style. Mrs. Thomas Hastings drove Will
lam H. Moore's four browns that won the
sensational victory over A. q. Nanderbit's
R,lstling Silk, Full Dress, Polly Prim and
Sweet Marie on Thursday, which made up
the team that Mrs, John Gerken drove.
Mrs. Hastings may. he termed a specialist
at the coaching. which is about the only
sort of driving she Affects, and she was as
serene az princess at Il court presentation
throughout the Judging. There il no better
all around horsewoman in the country than
Mrs Gcrllen, and III driving as friendly
volunteer for Mr.. Vanderbilt she tried TO
overcome by her dashing evolutions the
poorer rating her team had with the Judges.
But for one turn at speed, in which the
team was pointed ami then Strengthened
out in fine style, Mrs. Gerken might have
gained the coveted blue by her brilliant
driving The turn, however, was shade
too wide at the swing toward the Judges
stand and the wheels ran across the board
platform, a clos" shave from COLLISION
with the stand. -1si. - - y = f..
The blue was the second won by Mrs,
Thomas Hastings this season with tour
INLAND, the other occasion having been
with a road team at the Piping Rock show
This is the first time this has been III type,
for by a mistake of the clerk the win was
given out as a count for X, F. Carman, Jr
James g. Marshall Of the harness horse
judges, who wss also tn" judge at the Long
Island snow, made the correction. He also
said that an effort was to Le made to have
the Ladies Four-in- Hand Club take charge
of the coaching class, in the nope that
larger entry would be made
There were but two in the class last year,
Miss Kate Cary and Misc Ro., OF England,
and no more this year. Yet IN the opinion
of Judge Marshall it might be made one of
,ho ,oost brilliant clas.e. AS a spectacie and
