surprises were in store for those who
had figured out the distribution OF the
championships at the close Of the Brook
lyn Horse Snow last night 1t was quite
impossible to predict in which direction the
coveted rosette would go. No one supposed
Tor moment that j. w. Harrimans bay
stallion Nala would have to accept the
reserve, and yet that is just what hap
pened when he met William Il. Moore's
bay gelding Lord Seaton in the champion
class for horses over 151 hands.
From the moment Nala entered the ring
it was evident that his heart was not in
his work. He went up in the air at the
slightest provocation or with none at all
His gait embraced everything from a pace
TO 3 canter. and It was hard TO understand.
for he has been particularly good this
week. When he finally settled down and
decided to trot it was too late TO impress
the judges.

Debonair swept q field which included
Mrs. Charles Hubbs'ss Silhouette. Paul era

Marmion. After the horses had circled the
ring a few times the judges decided that
Or. Crockett was lame ami after it was
confirmed by the veterinarian he was sent
from the ring, and a formidable adversary
was removed from Lady DebonaiT's way.

spectators. il was expected that the cham
pion ribbon would go 70 Silhouette, as he
has been a prime favorte with the judges
this week in spite of a pair OF hind legs
which lack symmetry TO q marked degree.
Silhouette was second choice. however. and
Marmion went unnoticed.
Queenlight, n chestnut mare from the
stable OF j. Parker Kirlin, won the other
championship for saddles with small op-
position. AIyron Oppenheims Watchful
