Judging Slow and Tiresome.
II was a day Of plain horse. without
any sensational or unusual episodes The
women, beth in the afternoon and even
ing, sat placidly on review in the boxes
and made bets with their escorts as to
which horse would win The men in the
afternoon hung over the rails with much
enthusiasm. but the judges were so
paiustakiDg and slow that even the ardor
Of most earnest horsemen became chilled
when the dinner hour had passed with no
end in sight for the afternoon classes.
Then the men looked at each other. and.
with murmurs Of a cocktail before din
ner, they hurried off 10 don evening
clothes and be ready for the night session.

Vanderbilt Gives Exhibition.
Alfred Vanderbilt. wearing a silk hat
and black cutaway coat. the orthodox
style Tor park driving. gave a delightful
exhibition of mis- skill as a four-in-hand
whip He had four bays which seemed 70
possess even more style than the cham
pion four ne drove at the spr;ng. meet Of
the Coaching Club. The amateur swung
his team about with the skill Of a proses-
sional. and gave an exhibition which heln-
ed his horses TO gain the blue ribbon. IN
the preceding class for runabouts Mr.. Van

an exhibition Of versatility to reveal such
excellence under conditions so decidedly

woman. Mr.. Vanderbilt does not show
saddle horses. or possibly he would also
reveal ability as a rider.
BaItimOrean In Hard Luck.
The run of hard luck that has followed
c. ". Watson, of Baltimore. was lifted to
degree in the class for four-in-hand
teams Possibly there was as much OF
bitter as Of sweet IN the consolation offer
ed 20 him by the judges for his famous
four Of many summer shows. Lord Balti-
more, My Maryland. Virginia. and West
Virginia only received the second ribbon.
Still, it was a beginning. and In classes
for teams under different conditions, Wat

may be placed higher.
There are many Baltimoreans at the
show, and they applauded the placing of
the red ribbon with vigOr The Watson
small team, which includes Norma and
Kitty Gray, was second to Mrs Gerken 5
pony four on Tuesday. but the issue then
was not so close as yesterday To have
split two such perfect teams as Mr. Van
derbilt sent into the ring was a signal
honor for the Baltimore exhibitor.
