friends yesterday that IS had been prom
ised 20 him for judging at the Tuxedo
horse show il he ran off the classes Oh
scheduled time. n this Is true, the mill
ionaire sportsman earned his money the
first day for Il would have been possible
10 set ones watch by the big bell which
called the horses into the ring.
Light harness enthusiasts found much to
admire in the collection Of roadsters. Sew
eraI classes were devoted to them. and
there we're exhibitions of roadsters owned
in Orange County. and open classes for
roadsters in single harness and to pole
W. NJ. V. Hoffman's Teneriffc is still
king Of light harness horses. but Robert
Goelets young chestnut mare, Gail Con-
stantine, kept him on the qui vive every
time he came into the ring. II Tenerine
had an innate chvalry which suggested 10
him that he should abdicate IN faVOr OF
the attractive young mare. he allowed 1t
10 lie dormant. and ne did his best TO capt
ure all the laurels for himself
The exhibition was ostensbly to decide
the relative merits Of the horses shown ana
10 entertain the spectators. but in reaht!
the two judges John r. Townsend ana
Alfred e. Maclay. had the time of their
lives They drove all OF the entries. ana
when Mr. Maclay got behind Tenerine ana
Mr.. Townsend took the reins over Can
Constantine the competition took on all Oh
the interest of a race. The railbirds were
divided into two factions. the Tenerines
and the ants, for some of them would
have liked to see Gail win the blue, but
Mr. Townsend turned resoutely away from
the mare and handed the prize TO Teneriffe.
Mr.. Hoffmans champion is without doubt
one Of the handsomest light harness horses
in the show ring, and IL will take a good
one, indeed, to beat him.
Theodore Frelinghuysen showed Amity
and Gratteena TO pole in the open class
for pairs. but for the first time in her short
career An1ity took 1t into her head to pace.
To quote Mr. Frelinghuysen: There is
only one thing worse than PAGER and that
is a hoppled PAGER" Teneriffe divided the
honors I'm this class with hlataWah j.,
which appeared to pole with him.
Eugene Won Bach protested the award
in Class g. which placed Mr.. HOFFMAN S
Brighton and Red Knight over his royal
pair, Victor and Victoria. Mr.. Won Bach
claimed that the near horse was lame, and
more than ons man on the grounds was
ready 70 second the opinion. Or. r. w. A.
English examined the pair, however, and
could find nothing wrong with either OF
them. He explained that the biting had a
tendency TO make Red Knight go little
rough. but that was the extent Of the fault.
As usual, Lady Dilham and Nals car
ried everything before them whenever they
appeared The wonderful mare made her
IN, ha tar rlaSs ahead OF
her little brother, Elegant Dilham, and she
received an ovation. Eugene Won Bach
drove Hob Cav in front Of Royal Victor,
who was White Gate Majesty. In trying
10 describe figure Fights and other numert-
cal feats both wheelers got into mix-up
with the traces. but they were extricated
with small DELAY. Mr.. seelig's pair were
placed second to Lady and her mate.
Mark Hanna, a chestnut gelding owned
by Emil Seelis, was In better form yester-
day than ever before. He was always a
thing of beauty" and his performance in
the combination class made him "a JOY
forever He was placed ahead of Miss
Cynthia Kearney's Dixie and Percy II.
Drurys Harmony. Mr.. Drury showed two
in this class. Little FURRY Knox was In
the clever hands of Miss Laura Stanley.
Miss II. d. Atterbury's beautiful Kildare
won the open saddle classes. Shown with
Patricia, Kildare captured first prize In
the exhibition of pairs OF saddle horses.
Mrs. David wagstaff's bay geding Coun-
try Boy won the local class for saddle
horses over 142. although 1t looked as
though first honors should have gone to
Pierre Lorillard's thoroughbred Naraka.
II Pierre, IT., had been up on the mare In
stead OF on Aeroplane, II might have been
q different story.
