BEST KNOWN JUDGES
Vanderbilt lays particular stress upon
the fact that the coming national show
Will have the best known and most
efficient judges TO be obtained in the
United States and Canada. Hitherto
the show has been New York's show.
Now the best-the big. rich. agricul-
tural region of the Mississippi valley
is to be big factor. The confidence in
the judges that their names will inspire
will act as a tonic for the breeding in
terests attracted by the draft horse
exhibit offers.
Harness. saddle and jumping horses
of the highest types viii have quite as
important a place on the national
show program as ever, but the draft
ers are to be featured as the pick OF
the country's breeding farms. The
ever popular cavalry troopers maneu-
vers also have been added TO the fea-
lures of the coming show in Madison

SWEPT BRITISH SHOWS
Official records of the London show
tell how the three Americans, Walter
Winans. Judge Moore and c. W. Wat
son. swept the boards, adding thou
sands of dollars in trophies TO their
long list and gathering scores of rib
bons. Both Judge Moore and Mr. Wat
son exhibited only in the heavy har-

horse show ring by the judge, won the
championship at London. Leonidas was
first In the class for private brougham

appointment class, had no trouble in
taking first. Judge Moore presented
Leonidas and Hildegarde in the novice

private brougham turnout, the animals
winning two frsts. Abyrillis and Phyl-

garded by many experts as the best one
of the big string, was not shown once
in the ribbons in single harness. and
received only one fourth prize when
shown in tandem. Some of the Ion
don winners never have been shown
IN this country and are counted unon
by Judge Moore to make a big hit In
the national show.
Watson displayed ten horses az tbe
London show, and in 2e classes won
nine firsts, five seconds six thirds ana
four fourths. 1t is rather remarkable
thing that has been favorably com
mented upon abroad, that with this
small string every animal in il was
placed, while seven of the ten won first
prizes IN single or double harness. Two
championships fell TO the Watson horses
and they were. placed in two other
