The Washington herald., 1906-11-25

New York. Nov. 2L-The twenty-second
annual event Of the National Horse Show
Association was brought to a brilliant
conclusion tonight at Madison Square
Garden.
The attendance was the greatest In re-
cent years, and equaled the record made
In 1890
Alfred G. Vanderbilt carried of the
honOrs with twelve blue ribbons. the
next best winner being Judge William II.
Moore. formerly Of Chicago. but now Of
this city. who had eleven first prizes TO
his credit
While Vanderbilt won more blues than
his closest competitor. the ex-Chicago man
gained more ribbons from points.
Next IN the order Of merit came b. W.
Hartman. also Of this city. with seven
firsts, six seconds, one third. and two
commendation prizes, Eben d. Jordan. Of
Plymouth, Mass, ranked next, with six
firsts and three seconds. and c. W Wat
son, OF Baltimore. had five nrsts. nve sec
onds, four thirds. and three biz MY -eom-
mended ribbons
Mrs. Julian Morris. of the Oaks Stock
Farm, Keswlck Va, won four prizes, in
each case the ribbon winner being Kes-
wick, a slx-year-old gelding. that proved
to be unusually clever over the jumps In
the lightweight classes for qualified hunt
ers.
r. the roadster championships the Phil
adelphian, St0tesbury, won the title for
horses in single harness with the mare
Preferred. while In pairs the plain field
exhibited Miss Hanahaa and Miss West
colt took the award.
National GuaTdsmen had an interest in
the saddle class Of the afternoon. for
horses suitable for cavalry service, the
riders 20 be IN uniform and equipped
with saber. A. b. Maclay 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
an revolutions for the cavalry seemed
90 be Of decidedly sporty nature. in
cluding bits of polo, hurdle racing saber
Combats. and head cutting.
Three Of the four horses TO win were
ridden by members OF Squadron A,
while Frederick William Wurster, il, Of
Squadron c., took the third ribbon
Alfred c. Vanderbilt, with "A bunch of
red and white carnations IN the lapel of
his coat. wore the smile that won't come
of when he received the blue ribbon in
the class for park teams. Judge Moore.
the winner Of this class last year from
Nanderbilt's noted four. was prevented
from competing by the recent railroad ac-
cident at HoOsic Junction, in which the
horses he would have relied upon were
killed.
There was abundant reason for Wander
bilt 10 be pleased. however, for his leaders
were none too steadily in accord. and the
Baltimore team of &. w Watson. driven
by G. A BaudoUine in fine style, had quite
rs much right on their looks and perform
ances as the winners Paul A. Sorg made
his first appearance in the New York
ring on a drag. and his black team went
very well. He doubtless inadvertently cut
off the Watson team twice at the corners.
and by forcing Mr.. BaudcUine to pull up
did not improve the chances of the Balti-
more outfit. The only other entry was
Otto II. Kahn's chestnut team that made
a good showing and was placed over Mr.
Sorg's blacks.
