In the opening class Of the afternoon,
which waa for saddle horses 14.2 hands
and not exceeding 1872 hands. there was
very large entry. The blue ribbon went
TO the chestnut mare called Lonia. just a
shade under 1872 hands in height The
mare was a neat actor, but would cer-
tainly never have gained its prominence
except for the clever handling OF Mrs.
h w. A.. Mc0ibbon
There was great interest In the class
for thoroughbred horses suitable to be-
oome hunters, for which F Ambrose
Clark, who early in the week had ap-
p0ared as the rider Of a losing hunter,
offered the cup. Conformation as we'll
Ms performances over the jumps counted.
The winner, Streator Cyclone. owned by
Henry w. Colt Of Geneseo and ridden by
Joseph Flynn, is as fine a horse as has
been ahown in the Garden this week. A
tioh chestnut with surprising quarters
and shoulders, it has a sloping neck and
. well formed and gamy head
AL the honors in the roadster classes
went to Edward 4. Stotesbury Of Phila-
delphia with the very well matched bay
mares Lucia G. and Pearl Onward.

complete unless the owner handled the
reins,; There has been some complaint
about the identity of the mare Lucia G..
but to the judges she has been well identi-
ded
There was an exhibit from the Street
8 Cleaning Department larger than ever
before. The Borough Of Brooklyn has
4 always held this award. but the blue
ribbon this time went to a stalwart gray

This pair,has been subject to much criti-
cism throughout the week, one COM
plant being that the near horse was

the substitution Of a mare when shown
singly. The judges have been firm in
