Show struck it's accustomed fair gait yester-
day afternoon and evening, SO that from
: now on the chronicles Of the onlookers
I'll all be eulogistic and vary only in the
Setail of numbers. Society graced the
scene; sporting folks, casual visitors TO
Aown, staid business and professional men
\ and the w~omepkind Of all these types helped
10 swell the throng. IL was a day OF many
incidents to those who paid most heed to
the horses and the doinRs of the horses, and,
as this faction seemed for the first year
10 be in the majority. the twenty-second
annual exhibitionin Madison Square Garden
well deserved the special title Of The
Horsey SHOW"
Judging Of ponies in harness brought out
= a duel Of interest between the two stations,
. both importations, Judge Moore's Berkeley
Bantam and Mrs. Gerken's Doncaster
= Model. The former won, to the regret of
the followers Of the New York horsewoman,
for Doncaster NJ, lei never exhibited a
better style on the tanbark. Plaoidity
was the badge Of all the other ponies in the
class except the stations. This vas as it
should be, for some Of the drivers were not
much older thar the colts they drove, the
grooms beside them having u watch out as
carefully as nursemaids.
Later ponies under saddle had the ring,
when a bunch of children were again the
guiding stars. The winner Charles Holla-
ways bay gelding Cardiff. had little Miss
Margaret Weyler in the saddle and imported
MalIow Queen, Miss May ~Ladenburg' s win
: Der at Mineola and Piping Rock, had to be
content with the fourth ribbon The best
feature of the two classes was the revela-
Won that the horse show cult mas developed
, juvenile disciples. Both the little girls to
y win in the last class were delighted to gain
their ribbons. and in their haste to rush
out 20 receive the congratulations OF their
family parties each forgot to remove the
numbered placard hanging on her back.
These two girls rode astride and so did
Miss Mary Alice McKelvey, who had a
cream colored palfrey in the class for saddle
& horses listed in the American Register.
\ But it must not be fancied that the women
fnrtde most often at the show have accepted
the bifuroated skirt IA the ideal Of feminine
4 grace in the saddle, at least for the park
For at a horse show. Mrs. Julian Morris
Of Virginia, Mrs. Gerken and Mrs. Balm,
hin fact all the women not little girls, used
' the side saddle and graceful flowing habits,
Gen. Castlemon OF Kentucky was eulo-
gistic of the advantages of the American
. Saddle Horse Register to simplify and ad-
vance the breeding Of that type Of horse in
this country. Founded in kentucky SIX
teen years ago the registrations now repre-
sent the pick OF the addle horses bred in all
sparts of the United States. The General Is
! not without hopes that the Canadians will
fsoon ask for admission 10 the saddle horse
fstud book. Another visitor from a distance
was Charles A. Willis. who with the late
~. G. Delevergne fathered the first new New
I York speedway. Mr.. Willis has been for
two years in California and he said that only
Thy going away for a spell and then coming
back with fresh vision could one realize the
F-beauty of the trotting horse converted 10
heavy harness purposes.
3 In the class for half bred or fuL bred
hackneys for the Aide challenge cup. the
kgift Of Henry Fairfax, the Onlookers were
h~-delighted that the award went TO an exhibit
Athat reproduced in many points the old
= hackney OF the sporting prints. This was
the Philadelphia entry. Sporting Duchess,
driven by the amateur John l.. Conoway.
,Hitohed 20 a natty two wheeler, with Mr..
eConoway in a high buttoned coat and a
straight briInmed silk hat, the outfit was
most suggestive of the famous English
water oo4or,. Going to Covert
90 There were more new nags TO gam the
Nblues yesterday than on the first day, but
spnereiy because the conditions brought
FORWARD novice horses. That Sweet Marie,
Rustling silk, The Youngster, OF Forest
king or Iowa should be 80 often the final
t~contenders in their classes means only
that they are the champions of their type.
ifTheir owners AVE eNpended fortunes to
bring together the ideal to their stables,
fand, with "A degree OF success that almost
imerits the criticism of a captious railbird
Nthat their existence iS "a highsteppers horse
Htrust."
Neither Alfred G.. Vanderbilt nor Judge
Encore had any entries yesterday OF con-
g~sequenoe in classes where they might do
tFhe driving themselves. but to-day the
7old rivalry of Chicago VS.. New York will
abe resumed all along the line from gigs TO
sfOur-in-hand tet D.. As 20 the tour-ln-
shend teams a new conner, OTTO Ii. Kahn,
1.-THE Morristown banker, will be "a dam
gerous aspirant. He has gotten together
Hour chestnuts OF surprising style and
issubstance, 80 that. while never before shown
aat New York the team may upset the cut
band dried notions Of the two older ex-
hibitors, ,
b One of the pleasures of the roadster
aclasses was hat Yesterday W, }. Buttfield
{drove his own mares, Miss Banahan and
&kiiss Westcott, and won the blue ribbon. The
tsame pair won on Monday night with F1em-
hing driving, but, without dlsparagIng the
{skil of the professional, il is a relief to see
han owner come into the ring behind his
froadsters. Reginald W. Rives, an amateur.
ftrOve Mr.. Pollock's pair very nicely, but as
THE latter was one OF the scheduled judges,
Ahe had to leave the verdict in this class TO
fhis colaborers, Robert A. Fairbalrn and
FTheodore Freiinghuysen.
As to the hunters, the jumping was
&clever, and the entries, though not so numer-
3ous as at other shows, all that could be asked
Pin quality and conformation. The Virginia
Worse, keswick, won in the afternoon very
kcleverly. The crack Long Island steeple-
3chaser OF the hunt meetings, Willie Price,
3~although ridden by the able Jockey, Lynch
could do NO better than gain the third rib
hon. The night class for hunters had the
4special conditions that the horses must have
been hunted at least eight times To hounds
1and that amateurs should ride. In this
class and in the polo pony class TO open the
eyening session many well known gentle
men riders had mounts.
Rustling Silk has beaten The Youngster
often, ind 81 has Sweet. Marie in heavy
harness classes, but A. G. Vanderbilt felt
chagrined yesterday because Of a pub
Iished statement that blindness had beaten
his mare on Monday. Yesterday all three
of the vets made a careful examination
Of The Youngster, and, according 70 Mr..
Vanderbilt, they found only "a speck in
epe eye which does not impair the sight.
