-on SQUARE Garden. There was again the
.rsreotyped remark made by the manage
mant AT the end Of every show that the
attendance had been the greatest ever.
A., a fact high water mark. reached in 1890,
was eaualled, which was good enough.
After the doors closed at midnight strings
Of show vehicles were towed away by
automobiles, and horses of the tanbark
which do not toll. were led away by grooms
10 thoir home stables or TO the nearest
shipping points for out OF town. The horses
were glad, apparently, to breathe the free
ar after a week OF tanbark scented atmos-
pLerr, and this is true of judges, stewards
Gnd ring grooms. After a week OF arduous
lahor- they we're glad to get away.
Tanbark is az cloying to the senses as
n narcotic, and, in the roadster claes won
by Preferred, the groom who held the
reins Of one OF the exhibits last night APP
reared to be affected. When the Judge
srgnalIed for this xhibi to be started up
the only way the horse could break clear
Of the groom's grip was by humping into
him. The groom cat down on the tsnbark
with great force, and as the horse sped on
ward he sat rubbing his eyes with the startled
expression Of the fat boy in Pick
Kisses followed he award in one of the
saddle horse championships, the only
Sign Of dissent Of the sort to be heard during
the entire show. The contest for the ribbon
Was between the big light chestnut gelding
chance. owned by Miss Ida Tichenor of
Chicago, and Miss G. Adelaide Doremus's
hay mare Lady Mcdonald. Lady Nc
Donald had the more stylish action and all
the good looks. and when she was upset
10y the palmer ~gelding, the visitors vented
their indignation in a very emphatic nan
uer. The railbirds and horsemen who
have attended the how regularly had
not expected the decision.
Throughout the show there has been a
great deal Of driving and riding Of the
exhibits by the judges. In most cases
fine strange hand on the reins has been the
immediate cause OF bad action on the part
of a horse. Some of the exhibitors talked
Of a formal protest TO The Management
against having the exhibits interfered with
in This way next year.
Judges have only to note how a horse
performs and % as brought before them, =
said a well known exhibitor. There is
no need for them to attempt to ride or
drive and so often spoil by their clumsy
handling whatever chance the entry may
have had to win"
In the roadster championships the Phila-
dclphian, Stotcsbury. won the title for
horses in single harness. In pairs the
Plainfeld exhibit, Miss Bantam and Miss
Westcott, took the award.

\, r. MBClay was the Judge in the absence
Of the usual army officer and he put the
field through a long course OF sprouts.
His idea of military strategy and evolu-
lions for the cavalry seemed to be OF a
decidedly sporty nature including bits Of
polo, hurdle racing, sabre combats and head
cutting.
Three Of the four horses to win were ridden
by members Of Squadron A, while Frederick
William Wurster. Jr., OF Squadron G took
the third ribbon. When all but the four
winners had left the ring, just to prove
hat they had no hard feelings, the four
erst antagonists paraded together
IN the tanbark and went through a drill
that brought down the house.
Alfred G.. Vanderbilt, who wore a bunch
of red and white carnations in the LABEL Of
mis- coat, got the blue ribbon in thesclass for
park teams. Judge Moore. whose four was
m the class last year, was prevented from
competing by the recent railroad accident
at Hoosiok Junction, in which the horses
ne would have relied on were killed. The
Baltimore team Of &. w. Watson, driven by
g. A.. Boudouine in fine style. had quite
some right on their looks and performance
