The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-11-20


the judges passed him over and divided
their ribbons among the youngest and the
speediest looking In the group. The blue
ribbon went to August Belmont's Fume,
the second to Harry T. Peters's The Orphan,
a starter last season at many of the Country
Club race meetings about New York, while
third ribbon went to the imported three
year-old Beaning Star. .
To open the afternoon three pairs OF
ponies in harness were judged in class 10.
Judge Moore's hackney mares Beulah
Bennett and Bracelet received the blue rib
bon, although o~utspeeded and fully matched
in style by Reginald Vanderbilt's Wyom-
ing bred trotting geldings Frooks and
Frills, which were placed second. John
s. Bratton, the st. Louis dealer, made his
first appearance OF the yea in this class
with two neat acting trotting bred mares
called Melody and Fawn. He received the
third ribbon.
Later in the afternoon. in class 81, ponies
were judged in single harness. The con-
ditions called for a size limit above Is hands
and not exceeding 1873 hands. Judge
Moore, who showed the bay gelding Berk-
ley Bobs to a unabout and driven by q
groom, also o the ribbon in this class.
Berkeley Bobs has been newly clipped and
was as light in color "a a chestnut, but to
high action the pony added plenty of speed
and the award pleased the onlook ers.
Another imported hackney, the bay geld
ing Champion. received the red ribbon.
while Mrs. John Gerken's noted winner
Torchlight was third and the equally we'll
known All There, the roam mare owned by
Elsinore Farm, was among the unplaced.
Two GLASSES for saddle horses were judged.
In the first there were twenty entries. the
conditions calling for horses over TAI hands
and not exceeding Is hands. Miss Mabel
B. Hooley on her bay mare Caress. a winner
at the Plainfield show, and H. 8. Ladew
on the chestnut gelding Reliance, a fire.
quent winner or Long Island, were among
those u~nplaoed, which gives q idea Of the
quality of the class. Judge Goooh o in
turn each OF the half dozen finally picked out
to receive the ribbons. He had his best
ride on the chestnut mare st. Agnes, a
winner at the Westchester county show INC
owned by Miss Grace F. Antony. It seemed
hat st. Agnes was 10 receive the blue, but
the veterinarians, after a special examina-
ton Of the mares mouth, decided that the
entry was under the age limit of four years
and it had to be sent out of the ring. Tit
blue ribbon went to Mrs. H. @. McElwaine's
bay gelding Redwood and Thomas j. Ryan's
noted winner Claretta was second. The
third ribbon went to the brown mare Honey
and the fourth TO the chestnut mare Tit
Willow. This was new blood with a ven
geance and in striking contrast to the judg-
ing in the harness horse classes. when the
awards seemed TO follow only the old cham
pions.
The next class for saddle horses was for
thoroughbreds registered in the stud boo
No less than eleven appeared, all fine ex-
amples of the well nurtured horse kept
for pleasure riding. Rufus L. Patterson's
Jasmin attracted favorable comments.
30 did the three entered by James o.
Marshall. Brigand, Lady Mary and Berlin
thea. ~Thoroughbreds also had the ring
in the next class. for stations three years
old or over. to be judged solely by appear
ance in the ring. There were six entries
and although racing performances were
not to be regarded the onlookers paid most
attention to Handspring, the famous turf
star OF a few years ago. Imported Beaming
Star, the three-year-old Arabian stallion,
which had teen seen previously in the class
for polo pony sires, was in the ring again..
George Watson, Jr.'s, Sporting Life, by
Longford-My Jessie, won the blu in the
thoroughbred sandle horse class, with
work OF the class for thoroughtred stations.
He handed the blue to Handspring, o
owned by W. s. Barnes of Kentucky.
Harness horse classes were judged in
some very important divisions, as the can
didates to be passed on would reveal pos
sibly h new champion, If any, of the
show. The first for high steppers in single
harness had a size limit of 1872 hands and
not exceeding 10 hands. There were eigh-
teen in the ring, but the awards all went
to old ~favorites. IL was a disappointment
hat no new candidates were revealed in
this class. One Of the best of those passed
out was the bay mare Glorious, very well
driven by Miss Guilia Morosini, and others
sent away were Otto II. Kahn's Iron Duke
and C. W. WatSon's Lord Lonsdale. A.
G. Vanderbilt drove The Youngster, but
was unplaced, the blue going to his Rus
Ting silk, driven by Benchley. The second
ribbon went to the black mare Jet, which
has forced recognition in many classes
since being brought out in the spring as a
novice and for sale. Now a fortune could
not buy this black mare, which, barring a
somewhat plain neck and head, Is one OF
the neatest steppers now on the circuit.
Judge Moore drove his bay gelding Sena-
tor into third place, and the Brooklyn ex-
hlbitor, Edward Knierim, took the fourth
ribbon with his mare Kissing, an Die ia
vorite.
Horses OF the same type but Of the heavy
weight class were judged later in the day.
There were twenty entries and horses OF
established reputation were again sue
cessful. The blu ribbon went to A G..
Vanderbilt, driving his bay mare Sweet
Marie; second ribbon to Judge Moore, with
his trotting bred black gelding Iowa,
while Reginald Vanderbilt took the next
two ribbons. The third ribbon went to his
new purchase, Amusement, of the typical
hackney type, and the fourth to the famous
champion, DR.. Selwonk. The latter never
showed better, although possibly from
being soft in flesh the coat was a mass Of
foam at the finish OF the trials. Among
the unplac ed were some Of the best known
horses OF the seasons shows, some OF which
will doubtless win later in the week under
different conditions.
There we're fourteen tandems in class IS,
the horses not to exceed 1871 hands. Harry
d. Holloway's Grand Duchess and The
Sporting Duchess came to grief in the ring
and were sent out, while Mrs. John Gerken,
driving Brandon and Shop Girl, could not
get her pair TO show to advantage until
Il was too late. There was a desperate
race for the blue ribbon between Judge
Moore and Reginald Vanderbilt, both
with imported hackneys before their carts.
Lingie and Menella, Judge Moore's brown
mares, received the verdict, with the Van
derbilt chestnut mares, Phoebe Walton
and Marie Tempest, winning the red; Miss
RadfOrd'a hlaOka DOnnor and Rlitzan
