Great Competition.
First OF the classes Of special interest to
breeders of horses we're two in the pony
division. That for Shetland mares, some
of which had foals no larger than New
foundland dogs with them in the ring. was
won by T. L.. Watt, Jr.'s Donna Fortuna,
a winner at other shows and typical Of the
rugged breed. In the stallion class, to be
shown with three of their get, for breeds
other than Shetlands Doncaster Model led
no less thar six Of his produce in the
ring, the showing making stwo exhibits,
and Mrs. Gerken had some reason to think
that she would take both the first and second
ribbons. The blue, however, went to the
entry of Eben d. Jordan, the Bostonian,
who sent in Dilham Prime Minister and three
we'll furnished and typical young steppers
as a b~odyguard.
American trotters followed the English
type into the ring. There were fifty en-
tries in the six classes that filled in the
interval TO the intermission for luncheon,
and as a lot they were representative OF
/ the important breeding industry. The in
terest of the onlookers was remarkable
during these and the trotting horse classes
of the afternoon in view of the slim oppor-
tunity New Workers have TO witness light
harness racing, There was a wide distri-
button Of the blue ribbons. W. X. Murray
of Canastota, n. Y, won the blue for the
class for broodmares with Kilia by kremlin,
and bred by William Russell Allen, the New
England breeder. The Poughkeepsie
breeder Horatio n. Balm scored with two
from his own farm, Alcina Robbins ii.
and Frances Balm. Miss K. l.. Wilks Of
Canada had easy wins with the ~two-year-
Did Kentucky Tod and the three-year-old
Mograzia, both well deserved. In Ken
lucky Tod's class Rhythmic Bell, one OF
the Wilkes family, made a good showing.
but was only fourth.
Stations kept for service brought out ten
entries when this class was judged in the
afternoon. The Westchester stallion Algen,
a noted roadster, was one Of the candidates,
but he lacked substance when ranged
among the older horses. The Hamlins OF
Buffalo. although no longer in the breeding
industry, had representatives in the blood
lines Of two of the four to win ribbons.
The blue went to Monarchal, by Chimes,
a winner in this ring in this class
for the Hamlins more than once, and
owned by the estate Of D.. S. Hammond.
Horatio n. Bain's wen known Sir Robbins,
by STEAMBOAT, was second, while the
entry of the Nebraska breeder l.. c.
Kinney, Norval King, a big bay with
steady action, was third. Fourth prize
went to the black stallion Lorenzo Hamlin,
who moved with such freedom and re-
vealed such smooth conformation that
many thought this entry should have been
higher in the placing. The sire Of this
horse, Dare Devil, as with Chimes, the sire
OF Monarchal, has won in this class at
a. r.. - IL u..o.-. ThA Ia.o
OF Lorenzo Hamlln, Belle Hamlin, with
Justinia, held for some years the worlds
record for pairs, and the two with Glode
held the record for three horses as a team.
Lorenzo Hamlin has the action and looks
worthy of his lineage.
The class for road teams had ten entries,
possibly the largest exhibit of this type
ever seen in this country. The ~contenders
were led into the ring by Judge Moore.
with four grays to a yellow coach. The
leaders were particularly snowy and stylish,
going 30 lightly that there was reason for
their names of Ping and Pong. The wheelers
were unnamed and of a darker shade of
gray than the leaders, with their requisite
strength INC hardness for their position
before the coach. Otto H.. Kahn showed
three chestnuts and a roam to a red coach;
the Fiss, Doerr h Carroll Company had
two snappy roans in the lead and a bay
and chestnut wheeler before a yellow coach;
John $. Bratton of ST Louis had four browns
ard j. Campbell Thompson showed chest
nuts and. grays with park quality. There
were two Vanderbilt entries. Charles Will
son drove a well matched and oddly colored
team of grays and piebalds, and Alfred
Vanderbilt four grays,n named Vogue, Cabby.
Storm King and Viking.
The teams whirled the coaches about
on the loose and clinging tanbark, the
going corresponding to a dusty road, with
an ease to prove their pace and substance,
while their good manner were apparent at
a glance. The contest for the blue ribbon
was in a duel between the teams driven by
Alfred Vanderbilt and Judge Moore. Tn
former has not been defeated for two years
with his gray teams in road coach classes,
but this time, in which appointments were
not considered, he only won by a narrow
margin. Judge Moore's four had the most
style. but the Vanderbilt outfit went along
steadily and evinced the ability to answer
any question that might be put to them in
working a coach. h judges gave the
blue ribbon to this team, an award that
could not be questioned, and Judge Moore
received the red.
II. T. Stotesbury Of Philadelphia. who
had been forced to take second ribbon
with his mares Leonora and Lefty Lee in
| the roadster classes for pairs, won his
first blue ribbon of the week with the hand
some and smooth stepping mare Preferred.
! driven by George Webb, in the class for
single roadsters, appointments not to be
consideCed. Richard +. Carman, hitherto
most cd3spicuous at the show as an'amateur
whip in the heavy harness classes, took
second prize with The dainty stepping bay
mare Miss Daisy. The Plainfield mare,
Miss Banahan, twice a winner of blue
ribbons this week when paired with Miss
Wesoott, was third. and Alfred b. Maclay
took the fourth ribbon with the young
chestnut mare Alca, that had won for
him at the White Plains show. The class
had a large entry and 10 win in it was a
distinction for Preferred, although this
bay mare has won at New York and Chicago
in similar classes before. The lot Pre-
ferred beat yesterday was full Of quality.
There we're but five competitors in the
class for Iadies' saddle horses, exceedine
1871 hands, hut the quality could not havg
been excelled. j. W. Hartman had in the
two champion saddle mares Of many shows
May Morning and Corinnes Rufus l.. Patter-
son sent in Corotoman, Miss C.. Adelaide
Doremus had in Lady Macdonald. and
James G. Marshall had two entries, Brigand
and Lady Baker, while to end the string
came the bay mare Jane, owned by Law
renee Jones of Louisville. The judge
tested the class thoroughly and with the
prediction Of an English horseman for
the thoroughbred as the ideal park hack
he finally gave the blue 20 Brigand, to
the undoing Of the former champions.
