The horses were 70 be between iA.S and l5.2
hands high and were judged for confoTma-
ton. style all-around action. speed and
manners. Excessive action was not re-
quired. The horse counted but 80 per /
cent in the judging and the appointments
counted the other 20 per cent. james |
Murray drove Mr. Miles Peacock Of Kan
sas City and led the string a merry chase |
around the arena. setting a clip which |
was hard to follow. w. II. McCord was
awarded the FIRST place with Rajah, The |
Laird oGochpen second and Lawrence |
Jones Clementine third. The judges found |
a boot missing from the appointments OF |
Mr. Miles entry and did not further con- !
slider that horse
The high steppers walked around the
ring stepping 50 high Il looked for time
as though they would step over the railing
How some OF these horses are ever trained
10 step 50 high is enigma to most people,
but an Omaha man has figured out just
how IL is done An arena is fixed on the
farm and covered with straw and the
horses are driven through this until the
lifting muscles Of their legs are well de-
veloped Sometimes brush is added TO
make them step. This is one idea, but the
fact is most OF them are born steppers.
There is one horse at this show which was
WVAhihB Vl a the pioW uuf-
ing the early summer and used by the
farmers son to 90 see his girl in the even
| ing. When this horse was discovered by
a horseman he was already highstepper
and can now step as high as any at the
show. Two women drove in this event
Mrs. Joseph Barker driving E. P. Pecks

this city Murray bought the horse and
has made high stopper OK him that is
wonder. After the blue ribbon had been
awarded to Gallant Lad, the red to Royal
Salute and the yellow to Creighton. Muir
ray showed some of the speed qualities OF
his horse as well as the high stepping at
tainments
Some Startling Combinations.
The road four class brought out as pretty
and loud a team as It IS often given one
TO look upon. The Crow & Murray entry
consisted OF cross hitched seal browns and
blue roans. Murray is a dealer at To-
ronto and is always on the lookout for
something new in the horse line. This year
he returned to Omaha with but two Of the
horses he showed last season, outside of
the hunters, When asked what he had
done with the little bay mares which won
so many ribbons last year Murray replied.
"oh, YOU know, the judges get tired look
ing at the same horses every year and /
have TO get something new" The blue
roans are worth going a good distance to
see. road team Is supposed TO be in
color. the more the better and Murray
surely has marked team with his blue
roans HIS nigh lead horse is Baron
Bucknhr, a roadster he had last year
and when Murray was making his famous
drive Tuesday night this horse never left
his feet but trctted as fast as the others
could rug. Murray is always wiling 20
buy new horse and pays a good price
when he can get good one The bugler
with his long horn Is always a feature OF
the road four, although the barking dog
Murray had last, year, was missing.
Murray was awarded first prize and the
Pepper entry was second Murray was
hitched to brake which was high in the
afr and he did not drive as on Tuesday
evening > f.y'hl - n
The judges came 10 he press box aftcr
this event ana SPENCER Borden, speaking
for the Judges said you might saw fo-
us that the Judges think Mr. Murray has
az good road four as anybody has and
will make it interesting for the best of them
when he goes east"
The local class for horses suitable for
town work to a station wagon brougham
victoria or similar vehicle aroused con-
! siderable interest and newcomers at the
show were surprised that Omaha could
send such splendid horses into horse
show arena. Every pair was well mated
and blacks, bays and chestnuts all We'd
with each other for the honors. w. f.
! McCord's Storm King and Tempest were
awarded the blue ribbon, the Brandeis EN-
try second and Ward Burgess Prairie
Queen ana Roseleaf third
The hunters shown were the middle
weights. up to carrying 165 to 100 pounds
ITO hounds. Spencer Borden was the sole
! Judge IN this class and as so many Of the
! jumps were made without a hitch he had
to rely upon conformation in reaching his
decision. Joseph NJ. Cudahy was first
amidst the plaudits Of the multitude. with
} Gaiety Girl, one Of the Pepper entries war
; second and the champion jumper Of the
world, Pearl. was third.
Later in the week these horses will be
] sent over the higher jumps and will be
s given an opportunity to show Just how
| high they can jump.
