Meeting TO Push Along Oiympian Trip.
There was an exciting moment at the
National Horse SHOW In Madison Square
&srdan last night when the fifteen saddle
barves were coming into the ring after the
Judging Of the first harness horse class.
Boxes and galleries were all crowded early,
for the Baltimore pair, Lord Baltimore and
Ny Maryland. were to meet J. W. Harri-
mans Laughing Water and Chieftain, and
. great contest had been expected. The
c~nlookers. as the saddle horses came in,
wers discussing the fine victory won by
the Baltimore pair. and ~presaging it might
mean a turn in c. W. Watson's run Of hard
luck. At this juncture Rufus l.. Patterson's
5000 saddle mare Jasmine, a winner at
many shows, ~buckjumped and threw her
rider, Or. Shirley Carter Of Wsrrenton. Va.
There was. laugh at this mishsp, for
the doctor was in the saddle again in a
second. The mare. usually a model OF
good manners. seemed 10 have a contrary
bug in her bonnet, and shortly after IN
sested the rider again. This time Dr..
Carter lost his REIN and Jasmine trotted
of, fancy free. The mare dodge the ring
srooms and made a circuit of the ring,
working UP steam and rapidly losing her
wits. The riders of the other horses, in
their ell orts to keep clear. broke up the
usual formation. and a panic seemed immi-
n'nt.
The spectators were agape with excite
,nent as Jasmine squared away for the rails.
plainly meditating a leap TO the promenade.
Meantime James Brady, a stable hand with
Mr.. Patterson. who has charge Of the mare,
had entered the ring and he followed JAS
mine in Indian fashion, using the other
horses rs shields. At the right moment
young Brady made q five foot spring for tho
dragging rein, picking il up with the far
reach Of a sbortstop in stopping a ground
hner He had Jasmine secure in a jify and
led the mare OF 10 the stalls. There was
great applause for the clever lad.
Talk of a picnic party TO a London show
next spring arguments as TO just what con-
ttitutes a professional woman whip and
speculations rs to the winner Of the Hotel
Martinique plate were the topics of interest.
There was only time for gossiping in the
brief intervals between the classes. for there
Was sojnuch going OF in the judging ring

1t was the climax Of the show in attendance
as well as in the completion OF awards.

perhaps quicker, which TO the public means
the same thing. as they will be between the
earlier winners of the week and to decide
the championships. A four-in-hand class,
IN which ome Of distinction as amateur
whips are TO drive, will be an entirely new
feature this afternoon.
As to the London trip there was a meet
ing OF some twenty prominent exhibitors
TO meet the London representatives Of the
show, Messrs. Euren and Gemmell. The
plan is to hold an international horse show
at the Olympia from June 7 to 10 next year
for prizes amounting to about SIS 600. The
scheme has the support Of English, French,
Belgian, German and Spanish horsemen.
There were many speakers booming along
the idea and telling how tickled the Eng
lishmen would be at the fine appointments
Of the American harness outfits:
What caught the American exhibitors
was the remark that the Olympia is four
times larger than Madison Square Garden,
for as soon as they heard this there was a
prompt vote to indorse the project. The
American directors who have consented TO
serve are Clarence II. Mackay, Alfred g.
and Reginald Vanderbilt. That the two
brothers are planning to go TO d
together is incidentally an answer to the
gossip that they are not on good terms.
Adam Peck Of Toronto, a member OF the
Canadion Parliament and who has often
shown hunters at New York. will be the
Canadian director. The future details were

Jsmcs r.. Hyde, John Gerken and Alfred

were about the .ame that competed for
the aldorf- Astoria cup, and as a matter
Of fact judge Moore won both trophies
last year with Forest King. A difference
in tho conditions was that the mares or
Celdings must not be under 1871 or over
iI.3 hands. and also there was the stipula-
tion That they should be shown 10 tuil sizcd

TO be shown TO full sized gigs seemed an
unnecessary safeguard once the size OF
the horses had been fAed. but the attention
TO details added to the curiosity as TO which
would win. A second win by Judge Moore
meant that the plate would become his
permanent property. ..
Judge Moore's Forest King before gaining
such renown as a harness gelding was in
the stud IN England. One Of his produce.

yesterday for Eben D. Jordan of Boston.
Mr.. Jordan also won the championship for
hackney mares with Hildred. a result Tore
castod by the earlier judging in the hackney
classes. Although no longer an amateur
whip, the results have put the Boston horse
man on an equality with Alfred Vanderbilt
and Judge Moore in the number OF blue
ribbons won, each having won eight, and at
the close Of the afternoon session were tied

time Mrs Gerksn. Reginald Vanderbilt and
G. W. Watson OF Baltimore had each won
two blue ribbons.
