Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-10

run across a good many losers-ruil
across them, not over them. But BUR
rage got a few trophies today all right.
Even a horse judge would melt at such
evidence of popular sympathy as Bur-
rage got. 1 wonder why Mr.. Cravens
called Burrage to the rail and had
such a long chat with him late TINS
afternoon. Cravens was awfully nice
to him.
Mission of Charlie Ross

poses as a photographer, but he is
really Reggie Vanderbilt's private sec
retary. He is here to tell Reggie
whether the Pasadena show is good
enough and big enough for vanderbilt
to ship his horses here next year. They
call him the lost Charlie Ross. He is
very much at" though, with the van
derbilts, and you girls ought to treat
him nice and persuade him to bring
Reggies stable out to Los Angeles.
Reggie has some animals that make
all us western horses envious.
Watch Ashbrookl
There is another fine fellow in the
ring every day. He is A. e. Ashbrook
of the Bit and Spur. Ashbrook Is the
paper who boasts that he has the only
woman horse editor in the world
Minnie Mcintyre. L wish she would
come and give me sendoff. Ash
brook proposes to give Los Angeles a
real horse show in April 1t will have
canvas roof over it. He knows how
to run a show. He has been to every
one for ten years from Montreal to
San Antonio and from Long Island
fn Do G nj
may have got the best of him Thurs
day but Ashbrooll made the spectators
hold their breath in his rushes at polo
Friday. Ashbrook is all right, IL he
does smoke pipe all afternoon.
Wanted-Women Whips
1 wonder why the California women
do not drive more cleverly. Even if l
am d horse [ can't help but notice
that the eastern women have them
beat in driving. They have a grace
about holding the reins that 1 found
missing in the Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena driveresses. If l am wrong, come
out fair competitors and let us see you
manage the bits. Why, one woman-a
pretty picture in blue-almost doubled
over the dashboard in driving a pair.
And the man who sat with her said
never a word.
1 felt like neighing when 1 saw the
Busches come. Why, oh why, did not
the st. Louisans send their stable out
west and show? Even wedding
should not prevent so public-spirited
man as Adolphus Busch from show
ing what he so ably cana fine line OF
horsef1esh. Prosit, Herr Busch.
Benjamin Blossom looks very sports
manlike in his toggery. His livery and
appointments and equipages are first
class. AS more than one onlooker re-
marked, the horse show introduces the
newest styles in riding and driving
appointments and the Blossoms have
much to do with its up-to-nowness.
Hurrah for Rowland
We horses felt good to see DR.. F. F.
Rowland surgeon of the Pacific Elec-
trio railroad interests, win first with
his saddle horse Della Fox. Though
Della is years old fine mare is she.
The entries seemed to have the judges
guessing. The ribbons fell right when
they dangled from the horses of DR..
Rowland, j. A. Graves of Alhambra
(his horse was from MissourD and #.
w. Tutin of Riverside. 1 was sorry
that H. e. Huntingtons Dan did not
win but then DR.. Rowland won some
thing for the Huntingtons. Did you
see Della Fox sidestep and bow? If
not, it's worth a trip to Pasadena to
see her today.
Cravens Spender
Did you know Mr.. Cravens paid SS500
for his famous four-Miss Prince,
Princess Royal, Showgirl and Sporting
Duchess? He did, at Kansas City, and
he isn't sorry. Crow & Murray, the
Toronto horsemen, got the four for
their liberal client at an advance of
$500 over their previous price that the

this stable secret because 1 heard some
foolish remarks about the valuations
of us horses.
At the same time would not advise
any one to make any offer to Mr..
Cravens for his pets-not in cash, any
way.
| hated to see the Orth trio in the
delivery team event miss out altogether
because the Pioneer Truck company
happened to show two pairs of heavy
Belgian horses to two trucks, and in
old harness, at that! Orth had three
fine white steeds. Orth's signs read:
THE earth moves-so does Ortiz" His
drivers should have moved little
faster and he might have landed
trophy.
I'm sorry Harold A. Richardson Of
Santa Barbara had two such wild en-
tries. Why didn't he let his coach
Welsh Flyer, the roam stallion in the
pony class, and Duke, the bay gelding
in the harness horses, seemed to act
their worst though they looked their
best.
Just a word of suggestion, so that
even us horses can laugh today Let
the directors get up special comic
event of some kind today. The show is
too serious. We want good lung-eX-
panding laughing contest.
Assemble a few water wagons with
men aboard looking like January 1st
performers, a few one-hoss shays
buggy or two with the shafts behinr
and the horse pushing, a hoodlum
wagon with prisoners, and prairie
schooners with appropriate legends,
and watch the audiences enjoy the
mock turnouts. If too late this year.
try it next. We will all enjoy it.
And let's have more events with
women, children and jumping horses
in them.
Back to the stall for me!
