There was never such an array OF
horsehesh, never such weather, never
such unimpeachable judging nor never
such turnout of society as character
lied the opening day of the Southern
California horse show of Pasadena OF
Tournament of Roses park. The char
lot races, laundering around the
course, cheered by the crowd that wit
messed the event each succeeding year
at the tournament never found such
popular favor as the spirited animals
entered in yesterdays classy events.
High school thoroughbreds stepped
up and received the proffered homage
of cheers and applause. They went
through their PAGES the better by way
of saying thank you. There was moth
Ing left to cause wonder that the mas
terpiece of art have for subjects the
horse.
Never in the history Of the Pasadena
show has there been such a showing
nor has the entry list ever been so
filled with the names of thorough
breds, horses representing value
amounting near the hundred thousand
mark; sleek coated. arched necked, per-
feet contour and without blemish in
their sound limbs.
Wants to Sell Stable
There were several surprises sprung
at the show ring yesterday afternoon.
One of the most complete was that
sprung by Harold Richardson of Santa
Barbara, one of the largest owners of
thoroughbred horses on the coast, and
the fame of whose stables is not only
coast-wide but extends to New York
and across the pond. Mr.. Richardson
announced that he would offer his en-
tire stable for auction winners and all,
on Monday morning at II o'clock at
tournament park. Speculation was
rife as to what the announcement
meant. There were many surprises,
but no one seemed to have any con-
ception of the true solution of the
problem.
Mr.. Richardson would give no ade-
quate reason for his announcement,
only that he had decided to sell. Among
the horses he will offer are several
which took first and second prizes to-
day.
Another surprise was the rumor
which spread and which found con-
firmation that Mabel Rex, the high
school five-gaited saddle animal be-
longing to the Los Angeles Shriners,
would take part in the circus to be
given by the ShrinerS. The animal is
dashing black mare standing 1853
hands high and has just turned her
eighth year. She will be exhibited to-
day in the five-gaited saddle entries.
There was no accident sto mar the
days exhibit that resulted in any way
serious. For time the audience was
given something to stir up a little ex-
element in an accident in the second
event In making a turn at one end
of the show ring Harry Webb, driving
for John Lambert of Pasadena, was
thrown to the ground and his entry
showed down the list by the tipping of
his spider vehicle before which he was
driving in tandem Nip and Tuck, two
chestnut geldings, standing each 15.2
hands high and each years old They
were perfect mates and would have
captured first instead of third prize
had not the light vehicle tipped on the
turn.
Driver Thrown Out
When the inner wheels dug into the
ground and caught the full force of the
turn Mr.. Webb was hurled far out to
the inner side, falling free from the
wreck
Subsequently Mr.. Lambert's entries
Nip and Tuck, captured other prizes,
notably the first prize in class 10 and
the first and third prize in the run
about class.
The exhibition went off without a
hitch save that Of the accident. Diff
culties in judging in class rs, coach
stations, resulted in the division of
the class into two divisions, the French
coach and the Hackney stations The
class was exhibited with a lead rein
and was one of the prettiest exhibits on
the field, causing more enthusiasm and
applause than any other entry.
