comes on the horizon. Dainty women
who never even ride in Rotten row
then begin to talk glibly of hunters
and hackneys and to praise "Alfred,' -
as they call Vanderbilt of coaching
fame, because he is generous donor
Of prizes. So it comes about that the
international horse show will this year
be social event in England second
only in Importance to the coronation
pageants.
King and Queen to Be There
And that nothing should be wanting
to its social eclat, King George and
Queen Mary have arranged to pay two
visits. The queen is to be provided
with retiring room in a soft shade
OF gray foliage, with plum colored cur
talns. The king is also to have a re-
tiring room, where he will receive a
deputation from the foreign officers
who have entered for the jumping and
driving competitions, including, of
course, teams from the United States
and Canada.
And no doubt the honors of the
show at Olympia will be shared largely
by America and Canada. as some of the
best known horse owners on your side
are among the donors of prizes, the
judges and the competitors. The pres
ldent, Lord Lonsdale, is such hail
fellow-well-met sportsman that men of
the younger countries find 1t a pleasure
to work with him, and TO cooperate in
making the show a success. Cups are
being offered by such influential Amer
leans as John Kerr, Judge Moore, L.
T, Stotesbury, Colonel Lawrence Jones,
Walter Winans and J. T. Hyde.
Winans is not only Offering prize
but is entering for one of the new
competitions, a Russian class for pairs

Beck is also a judge.

They will drive governess cars, tan
dems, pairs and fours; ride hacks and
put hunters over the jumps, while in
two classes little girls will ride their
ponies. A significant condition is at

cial cup she has presented in the riding
competition for girls under Is years of
age. Those who know her objection TO
the astride habit smiled when they
learnt she had imposed the condition
that the youthful comPe titoes must
ride side saddle. Miss Dora Schintz is
also donor of a cup.
Several expert horsewomen from
America are expected to take part.

In the harness class Mrs II. S. Bowen
of New York is expected to exhibit the
four brown ponies that carried every
