/ New York, Nov. 22-That cab horse
bought by Alfred Vanderbilt at Syracuse
/ last summer helped him to win the blue
ribbon at the National Horse Show to-
! day. In the strongest class Of road teams
ever seen at Madison Square Garden. in
terest in the classes throughout the day
and evening was as bright and sparkling
as the beads In champagne.
In quality and variety the exhibits were
the greatest in all the types ever seen
on the tan bark. The American trotter
/ had a very prominent place in the judg-
/ ing and many gentleman farmers and
owners Of fast roadsters appeared for
the first time during the week among the
onIookers.
/ Miss Katherine T.. Wilkes. Of Gait, on
tario, displayed her great two-yeaT-old
Kentucky Tod. that in October won e
Futurity for his age at Lexington. The
colt started twice at the meeting. and his
winnings were $500

Miss Wilkes also won the blue ribbon in

Miss wilkes an Amateur.
Miss Wilkes who three years ago won
the championship for roadsters with Rhea
W. and Eastern Bells, breeds horses at
| her Canadian farm purely as an amateur.
/ Until last season she was the only woman
TO have a racing string on the grand cir
cult but this year Miss Lotta Crabtree mas
divided the distinction with her Miss
/ Wilkes saw her horses win, and had
good time answering the congratulations
/ Of her friends.
I One Of the exhibitors in the trotting
1 classes is the Nebraskan breeder. l. G.
4 kinney, whose stallion. N0rvaI King, was
third in the afternoon. Fuu-bearded. and
wearing the latest Bushnell shape in
: black derbies, the Westerner rode the
PONY and guided his horses with all the
vim Of "a boy. His helpers were as rough
gated in attire as the owner, and their
outfit .n each class suggested a wild West
show
I 10 less than ten teams appeared in the
afternoon class for the best road fours
I Judge Moore sprang a surprise on the
public with a gray team of unexampled
style and finish In this class for two
years and at dozen Of the smaller
shows Alfred Vanderbilt has had walk
/ over with one Of his gray teams. Ii was
evident that the judge had been quietly

Too Much style for Road.
/ They have too much style Tor the road
and are III for coaching club parade. q"
+ is the only dispaTaging comment that
could be made on the Moore team. In
/ fact. the same criticism could be passed
/ on each of the ten exhibits. for the only
tradition Of the road respected by the
/ owners was TO 60 in for old colors and
! contrasts. Most startling in this respect
was the second team from the Wander
+ bilt stable, In which grays and piebalds
were crossed. Guards in brilliant Iiveries
and footing horns helped 10 eniiven the
scene and recall the atmosphere Of the

/ Gentlemen riders had a place in the
