That for herds Of Shetland ponies brought
in three entries, Fac OF a stallion and four

thisc city had two entries. that in Miss Watts
name. headed by Grand Duke. taking the
blue ribbon. Shadelawn Farm Of Balti-
more took the second ribbon. Ponies
not exceeding IL hands brought in steppers
OF hackney breeding against the more
placid acting Welsh and ShetIands. The
hackney ponies won, Judge Moore getting
the blue with Berkeley Bantam, driven by
Master Harold Richards, and Mrs. Gerken's
Doncaster Model the red, with Master
Edward Gerken driving. Miss n. Watt was
third with the Shetland ske wbald Violet,
and Cyril Carr fourth with the hackney

who drove in the class, is the youngest
Of her sex to figure at the show, for she Is
a tot OF 8 years.
Mrs. John Gerken won the f~ourin-hand
class, women to drive, with Alfred Wander
bits park team as she did last year. The
! red was taken by Otto II. Kahn's neat
chestnut team, Miss Kate Cary driving.
The last class of the morning was for the
three money prizes to the best kept horses
and carts OF the New York Street Cleaning
Department. There was an entry of eigh-
teen, first and second prizes going to Brook
lyn exhibits and third - a Manhattan entry.
The Brooklyn entries also scored last year
over the Manhattan and Bronx entries from
the department.
Speedway followers were conspicuous
among the onlookers during the judgment
OF the roadster classes, but they were far
from being as numerous in the ring as they
should have been. The best appointed
single road rig was pronounced 10 he that
OF T.. T. Stotesbury, who sent in the bay
mare Preferred, with his manager, George
! Webb, as driver. The mare has unusual
merit. but il this class means anything it
! should be required hat the owner or some
other amateur should drive. Miss Daisy,
Richard +. Carman; Miss Banahan, w. j.
Buttfield, and Alca, Alfred B.. Maclay, which
we're placed in the other ribbons as named,
were from this viewpoint the more COM
plete in appointments. In the roadster
single horse championship Immediately
afterward Preferred trOtted into an easy
victory. while in the championship for road
ster pairs W. j. Buttfield had a walkover
with Miss Banahan and Miss Westcott.
One Of the very few blue ribbons won bv
Elsinore Farm during the week fell to It in
the afternoon classes for Shetland ponies to
harness. TIL winner was Ellerslie OF Pitts
ford. ten hands high and very beautiful in
looks, While his action il almost as spirited
as that OF a hackney pony. This il the
pony bought for Elslnore Farm in Septem-
Der at the Syracuse state Far, and since
then il has won blue ribbons wherever
shown.
The Dude and Rushing Silk won the blue
in the afternoon class for high steppers.
Those beaten included two exhibited at the
! Chicago fair by James Hobart Moore,
! Birmingham, Jr., and Rockingham, Jr:
They are bay geldings, 1927 hands, and
while they will never have the style of the
seniors they are named after, are very good
goers. Lawrence Jones Of Louisville, Ky,
was for the first time conspicuous with the
bay geldings Gallant Lad and Gallant
Lord, which were second to the Vanderbilt
c. W. Watson of Baltimore wa SUCCESS
full with Lord Baltimore and My Maryland
shown to. a VI toria in an appointment
class. This pair has never been beaten in
this class, and won as easily as at other
shows. although those defeated included
j. W. Harriman's Laughing Water and
Chieftain and Paul A. Sorg's Midnight and
Dawn.
The most important class Of the after
moor brought fou park teams into the ring.
All showed well. but the palm in this re-
spect was due 20 the Watson four. A. q.
Vanderbilt drove the bays The Dude, Rustl-
ing Silk, Sweet Marie and In Major to
his maroon coach; c. A. B~audouine drove
| G. w. Watson's bays, Lord Baltimore, My
Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia;
Paul A. Sorg drove four blacks, Heather
bell, Black Rose, Midnight and Dawn, while
Otto H Kahn had in the chestnuts Sultan,
Khedive, Pasha and Regent. The coaches
made a nice picture, the light blue OF the
Baltimore drag being a pleasing bit OF color,
and all the drivers handled their teams
without A mistake. A. G.. Vanderbilt won
the blue, az he did in this class two years
ago; G. W. Watson being second and the
Kahn team third.
In the saddle horse championships. that
for horses not exceeding 1872 hands brought
in j. w. Harriman's former champion, the
black gelding Petroleum; the thoroughbred
Brigand, owned by James q. Marshall, and
Mrs. II. G. McElwaine's Red Wood. Brig
and, ridden by Miss Marian Holloway, while
a thoroughbred, lacks the high carriage OF
crest and the quality usually to be expected
in a horse OF this breeding when in con-
dition for park riding. He Ia somewhat
narrow across { he loins, and the action OF the
hind feet il not true either on the walk or
trot. Miss Holloway showed the horse very
well. Petroleum displayed the most quality,
but possibly on the princpl NJ that turn about
is fair play Judge Gooch gave the prize
The Championship for saddle horses
exceeding 1872 hands brought in only two
competitors. They were Miss Ida L..
Tichenor's chestnut gelding Chance and
Miss G. Adelaide Doremus's bay mare Lady
MCDOnal0. mere war nOl HniCn DctWech
them In size, but the chestnut was OF de-
cidedly plain fashion and OF no distinction
in action, while Lady Mcdonald ishowed
quality and finish in every respect. Earlier
in the week this mare had won the prize
in the class for those listed in the American
Saddle Horse Register and had also been
placed in Class n, The Judge found reason
TO give the championship TO Chance, a de-
cision that brought forth Kisses. After
the Judging Mr.. GOcch said that he regarded
Chance as one Of tho finest saddle horses
that he had ever seen.
Highsteppers closed the afternoon and
opened the night show. In the former,
for dealers alone, Lehman Strauss won the
blue with a bay mare often in the ribbons
at the summer shows, Fleurette, and a new
mate for her OF equal style, Barbette, The
night class was a novice one; that II, for
non winners at this show, and the steppers
included Ringing Bells. Fakenham Princess,
Grand Duchess, Nola, Menella, Phoebe
Walton and a dozen more.
There were yells in plenty by the railbirds
at the fine style OF the horses as they twirled
the carts around the ring. The final tryout
was bet ween j. W. HarrimanIs bay stallion
Nala, Jack Donnelly driving, and Judge
Moore with the brown mare Meneila. The
