Show Brings Out the Finest.
BATTLES ROYAL THE RULE.
Spectators Watch with Interest
the Competition on Best Day
of Exhibition.

1t appeared as though the most interest
Ing events of the week had been selected
and grouped together to form the pro-
gramme for the third day of the horse
show at Long Branch yesterday afternoon,
for every class either spectacular or
brought out rival competitors in battle
royal. and never for a moment did interest
flag
The opening class of the day, if not the
most important. was certainly the most
picturesque, for ii brought out five diminu- ,
tive saddlers. ranging from g. to 1913 hands.
The smallest was the black mare Queen.
owned by Miss Marie Rothschid, but what
Queen lacked in size she made UP in will
power, and she became almost beyond cen
troll of her youthful rider. The class was
won by Miss Helen Schumacher on Miss
Helen Gertrude Alexander's bay gelding
Peacock and botf. horse and rider gave
an exhibition that might have been copied
to advantage by some Of the grown-ups.
Peacock did not do so we'll in harness. for
she had TO be content with fourth place,
but she had to contend with Dilham o. K
and the perfect little roam mare imp
Morning Glory, owned and driven by Miss
RENE Wassermann In spite of the sufflX
to Dilhams name she could not beat the
|
Miss Wassermann and her favorite.
In Class 6 De Witt c.. Flanagan's bay
gelding Lord Russell gave an exhibition of
manners that has seldom been equaled in
the show ring Mr.. Flanagan inadvertently
drove him into the fence, where he stuck
midway, and instead of pitching around
as most horses would have done he stood
quietly while they tore down the fence and
extricated the doce animal Then he
went into the show ring again and took
red ribbon, being placed next to Paul 4.
Sorg's imported hackney mare Royal Vic
toria.
The ladies' saddle class did not prove to
he the usual exhibition of the slaughter of
the innocents, for each year the women
who have ridden have taken their lives in
their hands. Tne hated water jump has
been eliminated, and if only the manage
ment could be induced to set the jumps the
other way about for the side saddle class
it would undoubtedly do away with con-
siderable trouble. Mrs. Jessie Won Klein
was the only one who had any trouble with
her mount, and she was on the green hun
ter Proud Prince, which did his best to
kill his owner Harry Graham, the opening
day of the show. Mrs. Won Klein gave an
exhibition that has seldom been equalled
and stuck on through all the horse S
when he wants to- but he doesn't want to
very often, and his chief aim in life seems
to be to get back to the stable After
few of his pet tricks, the judges were per
fectly willing for him TO do So

the successful winner, WatchIui, away
/ back in the ribbons in the s. saddle class.
where Watchful gave a splendid impersona-
ton of a horse which would not back, al

by every known artiflce to induce him to
do so.
