young William Hoffman. aged eleven
years. Miss Edith Kane was alone on ths
box Of George Grant Mason's coach and
\ she handled his four chestnuts with a
skill that probably won them the blue
ribbon. The horses were IN the ring for
such a long time that it looked as IL thers
might be a repetition OF the difficulty IN
decision which made two blue ribbons nee
essary in the class for pairs on the OPEN
| ing day The badge Of honor was finally

heavy footing until their long tails resern-
bled lunches of shoe strings and their
names were poIka-dotted with mud, beyond
recognition Jack Townsend drove tns
bay mare Red Gift from the Glenmer5
stable. She is a beautiful little creature
with quality a-plenty, buc she lacked tho
speed Of the TeneTiffe geldinS and had 20
