afternoon session to judge four pairs Of
heavy drsught horses. The award was to
two grsys. 1872 hands and Of great sub-
stance, but the exhibit a. a class was by no
means representative. There are so many
fine drausht pairs in tdaily use IN Greater

larger entry. The horses shown for IL sea-
son after season are half bred Percherons
or Normans. and the Shire horse has few
Representatives.
The class for ponies under saddle re-
suited in a second win for the sturdy bay
geIding Cardiff, who also won on Tuesday.
Miss Margaret Weyler had the mount, as
on the previous occasion. The size limit
was up to al hands and Cardiff, at IL
! hands, was the hliputian Of the class.
Miss Grace Antony, Miss Edith Webb and
Master Harold Richards were the riders
Of the other ponies placed. it being stipu-
lated that children not over IL years Of &
should ride.
The only other saddle class OF the after
moor called for women as riders, the horses
not to exceed ISL hands. There were
twelve in the ring. two OF the horses only
being ridden by little girls astnde. The
winner, hidden by Mrs. Balm, was the
strong bodied, graceful acting gelding
Red Wood, owned by Mrs. II. G.. McElwaine.
1t was the second blue ribbon won by Red
Wood. Claretta, well known at the sum-
mer shows, took the second ribbon, with
Miss Marion Holloway in the saddle. ST.
Agnes, with Mrs. b. Thompson riding.
and Little Max, the latter a brown stall
lion, but very gentle in manners, ridden
by Mrs. Haserot, took the other two rib
bons.
The judges devoted over an hour to the
class for unabout horses and appoint
ments. There were twenty in the ring. and
# was the best class OF the sort ever seen
here. Speed with action were the require
rnents booked for by the judges, with per-
| feet manners some in the ring had records
on the trotting tracks. Lord Nelson, owned
by Tonic Savage, has a record OF 115t5;
the neat bay mare Love Letter a record Of
222; Richard r. Carman's bay gelding Red
Mill, exhibited at the Piping Rock Show
last fall, can claim 215H; r. W. Rives's
Lavaran has a record of 2l5H, and J. Camp
bell Thompson's Gold a has paced IN
212 and trotted in 2161z. AL these speedy
ones dashing about the tanbark made the
ring a gay sight.
The blue ribbon, after a most thorough
test, went TO the brown gekdlng Royal
Regent, owned by A. Randolph Howard Of
Fredericksburg, Va. This one IL a high
breeding. Royal Regent has trotted in TIA
and Is sired by Bow Bells, 2191. from a
dam by Red Wilkes, son of George Wikes.
A. q. Vanderbilt, who won IN this class last
year with the somewhat plain oYt veTy
handy roadster Lady Katherine, had in the
brown gelding Alert. Mrs. John Gerken's
Shop Girl, q typical light gig horse, took the
third ribbon, the owner driving, while
Lavaran was fourth, the same place this
gelding secured last year. Flying Jib and
Piccolo. bothin the ribbons last year. were
not placed. The awards OF the judges re-
oeived the applause Of the railbirds;
There was a wonderfully good showing
Of fo~ur-in-hand teamsi in class 50, the only
condition being that h horses should
exceed Is hands. There we're seven teams
In the ring, and the class had a special in
terest in outlining how the awards might
90 in the more important classes later on.
A. @. Vanderbilt had in two teams, both
shown TO park coaches. C.. W, Watson OF
Baltimore and Otto II. Kahn OF Morrlstown
also showed their horses 20 drags. John
s.. Bratton and the others who had entries
sent their horses along before road coaches.
Judge Moore, whose team last year ad-
ministered a first defeat TO A. q. Wander
bits great team Polly Prim, Sweet Marie,
Rustling Silk and Full Dress, had two en-
tries but did not compete. i
It would nave been hard to have found
more class and quality than in the Wander
bilt double entries. The judges, however,
while they gave the blue 20 the team driven
by A. G.. Vanderbilt, gave the second prize
TO the well known Baltimore four, Lord J
Baltimore, Ny Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia. IL has been a matter OF
infinite labor 20 nave gotten together eight
such perfectly matched horses as Nander-
bilt had In the ring. All were OF the same
snade, dark Day, ana each tehui was Wei
balanced, the leaders being slightly smaller
and having the most action, while the
wheelers possessed substance and steadl-
ness. The team that won the blue was
composed OF the Dude, Polly Prim, Sweet
Marie and Major, while the second string,
driven by Charles Wilson, was Primrose,
RustlinR Silk, Gibson Boy and Full Dress.
Otto H. Kahn took the fourth ribbon with
four 0~hestnuts, Sultan, Kedive, Pasha and
Regent. Shown to a red drag, this team
made a very favorable impression.
Tandems had the ring soon afterward, |
sonne Of the same horses ~reappearing under
the different style OF hitching. The Kahn
chestnuts were in, but Pasha this time,
with Rose Bud on the lead, did not show
we'll. Sultan and Khediye went along
smoothly. Wilson drove Polly PTim and
Prim Rose and worked very hard to bring
