COMPETITION IS KEEN

d unOSL SucceSStul close yesterday after noon at Elm City park. The weather
 was ideal for the second day of the great show and all those who had been kept away from the events on the first day because of the threatening weather
 were all out yesterday. The scene was
 one of great liveliness Society was
 out in force filling the boxes at the west side of the exhibition ring and
 the automobiles which surrounded the
 ring.
 The events of yesterday were closely contested In the first class of the aft ernooa which was for horses over 14-2 and under 15-2 hands high shown to appropriate vehicle 1t was won by Imp Rcmeo, a noble animal exhibited by
 Carr Bros of New York. The second
 place went to Ida May, who was a blue
 ribbon winner the day previous. while third place went to H. Q. Trowbridge's Cardigan Squire.
 The next event was for polo ponies
 up to carry 190 pounds. L. E. Stod-
 dard's Ben Bacchus, ridden by Drury,
 was an easy winner Ben Bacchus is probably one of the best polo ponies in
 the east. He has been ridden by Mr.
 Drury in the games against Rockaway
 and West Chester with great success. Second place went to Dodger, who is
 also owned by MT Stoddard
 Little Miss Weyher with her mount,
 Artist Le Granda again carried off blue
 ribbon honors in the saddle horse class.
 The contest for second place was close
 between Countess and Selma, both ex-
 hibited by MT. and Mrs. H. L. Camp .of Middletown. The red ribbon was fin-
 ally given to Countess, and the yellow
 to Selina
 One of the most interesting classes
 shown during the afternoon was that for ponies in harness. There were four entries. but every pony was a perfect beauty in appearance and action and
 the matter of picking the winner was
 no easy one. Lady Lennox cut an es-
 pecially pretty figure as she dashed
 about the field and each time as she passed the boxes was greeted with
 much handclapping. She is owned by
 Miss Betty Stoddard and the awarding of the first prize to her met with es- peciaI favor
 In the exhibition of pairs of horses first place went to Imp Romeo and Imp Gannymede. a noble pair of horses ex- hiblted by Carr Bros of New York. Samuel Russells Lady Jean and Mont rose won second and third place went to H. Q. Trowbrdge's Cardigan Squire and Lady Sherhrooke In the exhibition of pairs of horses 15 hands high and over, which was closely contested, vic- tory befell Rutherford Trowbridges pair Dewey and Vlceroy.
 The exhibition of the jumping class proved to be the most spectacular event of the afternoon Each horse was re- quired to jump six hurdles, which were 3 1-2 and feet high. L. E. Stoddard had three ponies entered in this event. but they showed that they were not so | well a9apted to this class as to some | others in which they had been prize [ Rebel. who was ridden by | Mir Drury, created quite a ripple of | laughter among the occupants of the | boxes by turning abruptly about and | away when he was ridden up | to the first hurdle. He did much better on the second trial. The event was won by J. A. Dykernans Amherst, who out | olassed all the other horses entered in the event. He took the hurdles with ease and knocked off a rail only twice n twelve hurdles. The horse took with the spectators Second place went to ]. w. Webb's Redlight third to c. M. Mrs. Elliott and fourth to Webb's Trixie
 The final event was the polo pony lash, 100 yards and return, which was won by L. E, Stoddard's Spotted Wolf ]. w. Webbs Foghorn gave him hard 'ub for the position.
 The show was pronounced most suc- ,essful by many who were present. The events were very close and the task of he judges thereby made the harder ,ut they performed their duties in a. : most oommendable manner and none # their decisions met with the slight 'st question. The judges were Francis z f. Ware, Samuel Russell, jr., William I. Catlin and H. s. Brenchley
 The show was larger than last year, nd it is the intention of the members s f the polo club to make it one of the [ lost widely known annual horse shows T n New England, J
