SOCIAL CREAM
SEEN At SHOW
OPPRESSIVE HEAT DOES NOT
AFFECT ATTENDANCE
High School Mare, Mable Rex, Makes
Big Hit-Douglass Stables and
Hoean's Horses Receive
Most Ribbons

It was gala day yesterday at the
horse show. For nearly twelve hours
the judges worked hard in the ring
while the mettlesome trotters, PAGERS
and roadsters of every class whirled
about in maddening action, seeming to
take pride in the fact that even they
were helping out for the relief of the
sufferers in San Francisco.
Society gave it's most choice support
to the matinee and evening perfor-
nance and at both exhibitions the
boxes were crowded and the tiers of
seats well filled. 1t was the first
chance the social stars had to exhibit
their afternoon gowns and the splendid
array of clothing far eclipsed any SINH
lar display of the evening attendants.
Do Not Mind Heat
The spectators stayed at the ring
side the entire afternoon though the
heat was most oppressive. The side
drops of the great tent were lifted so
that breeze could circulate. In spite
of everything that could be done the
tent was like a great oven and the
horses worked themselves into a lather
of perspiration as they exhibited their
gaits at the command of the judges.
The horses of the Douglass stables
showed well under all conditions and
Mrs. Archie Douglass carried home
number of ribbons. d. F. Hogans
horses also showed remarkably well
and won firsts in several events, and
seconds and thirds in others. In the
hunters classes, Hogan's horses took
first and second. Hogan had entries in
nearly every other class.
The AFTERNOON exhibition with the
exception of the "hunters" class was
without feature and was taken up
chiefly in judging pairs and rig turn
outs. Two magnificent chestnuts from
the Douglass stables captured first in
the roadsters to speed wagons class.
Fancy Horse Receives Ovation
Mable Rex, the only high school entry
in the show, was brought out for her
first fancy performance. The magnifi-
cent mare danced to the music of the
band, picked up handkerchiefs with her
teeth and then went through all the
gaits of the saddle class. When finally
she was awarded blue ribbon for her
performance both she and her driver
were given an ovation.
Gamecock took first in the combina-
tion three gait class, showing remark
able form both in harness and under
saddle.
The stallion breeding class brought
out some of the finest horses of the
show. When Zombro. a magnificent
black owned by Los Angeles man,
was awarded first prize the spectators
voiced their approval. Hisey's High
land King took second in the class with
Pettigru, third.
Like the Little Fellows
In the saddle hack pony class some
pretty little follows were seen. The
f0Y fl,n
pearance of Ben Smiths San DimaS,
but the beautiful little gelding failed
to appear. Arizona was the only entry
from the Smith stables. Although Ari-
zona is considered only about one-half
so good as San Dimas, he managed to
capture second, while Perfection, a
Pasadena pony, captured first. The
Douglass stables captured first for the
big fellows in the open class.
In the combination class for horses
the pink of the show was presented.
Highland King took first in easy
fashion, with Chestnut King second and
Prince Arthur third.
The evening performance was short,
the feature being the gymkhana games.
