New-York tribune., 1909-11-09

In the opinion Of those who go TO the
horse show 10 see the horses. the twenty
NTH annual exhibition. which opened yes
terday morning. in Madison Square Garden
bids fair 20 eclipse all those which have
gone before. There was enough going on
in the ring all day To keep the railbirds
on the Qui vive. for the classes were eN-
cellent, both as 10 quantity and quality.
aud brought out collection of champions
that made the distribution of the ribbons
10 easy matter. Most Of the awards were
generously applauded.
More thar half of a hundred jumpers re-
sponded TO the bugle call in Class l43 and
all OF the classes were so large that it
WAS necessary 10 divide them. The re-
cesses. which should have lasted two
hours. were given over to the judging,
and even then it was long after the
scheduled time when each class was called
into the ring.
The delays We're unavoidable, for it was
impossible to Judge the number of en-
tries at one time. and that necessitated
picking the leaders from each division and
finally eliminating them. until the ribbon
winners only remained in the ring.
The first harness class for the week
opened the afternoon session. Ten were
out the high action Of the horses to the
fullest extent. The only condition was that
the entries should be over 1i2 hands and
not exceed la1 hands. Judge William HI.
Moore brought into the ring his hackney
importation that made such a sensation
and carried off the highest hOnors at the
last International show at London. This
one. named Flourish. proved to be a solid
bay. a shade under 10 hands. of delightful
action and style. and he well deserved the
blue ribbon. Another hackney, Mrs Eliza
beth G. Bowne's England's Pride. was sec
ond and Clarence H. Mackay's Land o
Burns. still another hackney, was third.
Trotting bred horses in this class included
the Homestead FARMS well known Guy
Fortune George c. Clausen driving. and
George ID. Kings fiashy black gelding Lit
