Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-11

did horse show bore threatening
aspect as far as the weather was con-
cerned and made one think of possible
showers and a wet ring and bedraggled
horses.
At noon the sky was still overcast
and those early by the ringside carried
raincoats over their arms and wraps
and things best suited for q disagree
able day. But 1t did not come, and its
threat did not keep the crowd away.
The big stand showed a trifie less
brilliant hues, for it's Kaleidoscope
changes were more somber and subdued
as 1t were. But this quality did not ex-
tend to the equine beauties on display
for they wore their best and shone and
squarkled their brightest. Indeed for
both beauty and beast the yelled rays
of the sun seemed quite refreshing
after the summers heat Of Friday and
the day before.
And it was q great day. The pro-
gram of nine events was extremely at
tractive, both from a spectacular and
from an expert standpoint. with a
single advantage that the last class
was Judged and the crowd was on Its
way home q full hour earlier than Fri
day night.
Cravens Wins Again
The beautiful horses from the Cravens
stables, as in the other two days OF the
show. carried away the lions share of
the blue ribbons, but with less protest
from the crowd, who begin to see few
OF the technical points upon which the
judges have based their awards.
AS on Friday, though, the crowd has
shown its unmistakable favor to the
magnificent showing made by A. G.
Burrage, the Redlands magnate, who
has again and again given the leaders
in a great entry a. race for their lives.
Mr. Burrage has literally made himself
solid this week with the Crown City
elect by his sportsmanlike conduct, his
princely expenditures and his alto
gether happy conduct in the face of
serious odds. His friends say that his
entries this year were made late and
allowed insufficient time in which to
prepare for the show and that 1t will
be different next year.
Burrage's Timely Aid
It is certain that the Burrage entries
did much to lift the management Of the
show out of the pit dug by the failure
at the last moment of the Moore string
Of horses to appear for entry as was
expected.
The saddle horse class with ladies in
the saddle and the harness horses in
fours were the most pleasing of yester-
days exhibits as far as the spectators
were concerned. But it was a great
day just the same from start to finish.
