SOCIETY APPEARS IN AFTERNOON
The afternoon session took on the tinreal-
most full cOlor-of society. for more than half
the boxes were filed and the crowd of admission
patrons had swelled to respectable proportions
or course. every looked for the Vanderbilt
boxes. In Alfred Vanderbllt's box No 13 were
his wife and Count Szechenyi. with the latter's
fancee. Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and the Duch-
ess Of Marlborough. over at the east end of the
circle. in Reginald Vanderbllts box No 81
were his wife. their child Cathleen. dressed like
a fluffy lifesIze doll. and several friends all of
whom the observers sought 20 identify During
Wander
bilt walked around the promenade and along
behind them tagged crowd. including photog-
raphers, even though the count on Monday night
had caused the arrest Of one of the pictrre
hunters.
The events OF the afternoon were brilliant
and attracted much attention, because nearly all
OF them were for horses in harness The vehicles
including private omnibuses, breaks and
broughams. added to the pictorial effect But
the success Of Alfred and Reginald Vanderbilt
on Monday was not repeated. Reginald's first
entry was Bravo. a brown gedng, in the heavy
harness class. He himself drove. and though he
was cheered by the roofing section of stable
hands at the northeast gate and applaudod by
all the Vanderbllts and their relatives he did
not get honorable mention. In this class
William H. Moore, of Baltimore, won the blue
with Pride O. Prides. which he himself drove
and the red with King of Kings, driven by
George Chipchase.
There was better luck, however for Reginald
Vanderbilt in Glass 46. for pairs of mares or
gedngs shown before brougham. But
though he entered his famous Lord Brooke and
Lord Bureigh, which first and second re-
spectively in single harness on Monday, they
brought him only the red ribbon when shown
in double harness before a smart brougham yes
terday. The first prize here went 10 Lord Bal
timore and My. Maryland II. from c. w. Wat
sons Fairmont Farms. William II. Moore who
had begun already to get a goodly collection of
colored ribbons from the sacred counter in the
judges oasis here took both the yellow and
white.
BLUE FOR r. G. VANDERBILT.
But later in the afternoon another blue went
to the squire of Sandy Point Farm for with
Vanderbilt handling the reins CLYDE
Vale Champion and Clyde Vale Champion II,
brown geldngs, each six years old, and as much
alike as prints from the same negative easily
won first honors. Mrs. John Gerken. dressed in
gray with n green plumed hat, drove Torchlight
and Cocksparrow and won the red ribbon
Mrs. Gerken's best opportunity To show her
skill came in the class for four-in hands, when
she fooled "a brake in which the leaders were
her famous Newshoy and ShopgirI and the
Brandon and Peter Pan. Perched
high on the big cart she swung round the ring
and wheeled neatly about as Frank Winter |

the four from Falrmont Farms Ringing Bells

was awarded the Fairmont Farms entry, hut
Mrs. Gerken got the red. When she had re-
ceived second place she snapped off the brake
with clang and sent the four at a smart mace
for the southeast gate. She miscalculated the
space and the front axle smashed into the gate
post, threatening to knock over the fence
There was a scurTylng of hostlers and a hack
ing and pulling of the fdgety horses before the
exit had been completed. Mrs. Gerken hurried
away to her box without comment
