D|SCORD At HORSE SHOW
Emil SeeIig WithdrawS All HIS
Entries from Exhibition.
FAIL TO PLEASE
Three Trotters and Drivers Go
Down in Heap in Light
Harness Race.

The horse show which opened at Nhlte
Plains Yesterday afternoon Is By lar the
most pretentious equine exhibition OF the
season The classes were unusually well
filed with good material some of them
having a score Of entries. II seemed pity
that a show which opened ausplciously
should have ended in discord, but as
matter Of fact. the Judging in nearly every
instance left the spectators and eNhlOl'ors
aghast, and they could only WoEder og
what process the gentlemen in authority
arrived at their conclusions. William NC
Gibbon did not hesitate TO say that he would
show no more that day, after the hrst sdu-
die class had been judged, and Emil Seehs'
who is noted for his equanimity' Withdre"
all of his horses and Immediately started
preparations TO send them back TO New
York The trouble occurred In the novice
harness class where J. 3. Taylor's ordinary
bay mare Rosemary and j. Canpoe"
Thompson's Volunteer were placed over
Emil Seelig's black gclding, King George
Eugene Won Bach was in the driver seat
ana when d yellow RIBBON was presented 10
bis superb little horse he refused II. Al
though the spectators agreed with thls sen
fiment. they questioned the wisdom OF DIS
action. and when Mr.. Seelig came in the gig
class he was informed that unless he ac-
cepted without question the ribbons "Iuch
were given TO him his horses would not De
ildged i'm that ring Mr SceHS left the
ring and Immediately proceeded to pack up
his horses. Every one tried TO dissuade
him as his entries are some of the most
important at the show but he remained
obdurate and It IS doubtful II nc VIII s"o"
again before the same judges.
Mrs. Sidney l.. Josephthal had an ugly
fall from her hunter. Solar, in the class lot
novice jumpers. He not only refused pu'
he kicked. bucked and did all Of the other
things which a hunter should not do' anu
wound ND bv chasing judges and attend
ants around the ring with his heels ana
nearly demolshng the Judges stand. MIS-
Josepbthal stuck to him after her first fall
but ne had 90 be sent from the ring to MS
evident delight.
Mrs. J. 5. Walsh's bay sedings, Honor
Boy and Honor Bright had a victory OF
which their owner was justly proud Ihey
defeated j. " Harriman's wonderful mare
Lady Dnham. and her brother Elegant
Duham. who we're shown 20 pole by Jack
Dunely. Their Honors Won another
blue in the tandem class, when Campbell!
THOMPSON handled them. Here Lady and
Elegant DIham were sent in TO be meas
ured. and after a long process with the
standard they were sent from the ring.
Whether il was because they We're con-
sidered understood or because the leader
was found to exceed the wheeler in height
