At the show Of the Turf and Field Club
devoted exclusively TO hunters and saddle
horses At Belmont Park Yesterday. The
hiF Enclosure. where once the unbeaten
rolin and other great thoroughbreds raced
- fame on the track and where more
recently the sky pilots have been testing
their fyng machines. looked spick and
snan before thunder clouds rolled up and
broke in most unwelcome way.
The Judges rocked not of the rain. and
pent about their duties in rather slow
ard tedious way but the crowd seemed to
enjoy studying the horses and specializing
on the probable winners.
II anything. the polo ponies attracted
obief interest FoXhall J.. keene did the

he is "harnessy' in front. He wrested the
lsures from the attractive little mare yes

lowers.
There were three classes for military
mounts The first was a jumping exhibit
ton. and Leonard B. Smith got fall
which looked harmless but proved TO he
quite serious. As Easter Sunday was TAX
ins the hedge Mr.. Smith suddenly shot
over her head in n manner inexplCable 70
those who knew his prowess in the saddle.
He was severely criticised for his lack Of
grip. until ii was learned that he has been
suffering with a dslocated knee and as
the mare rose TO the fence the bone had
again slipped out Of joint. The pain was
intense but Mr.. Smith bore it bravely and
few knew Of the mshsp until later.
Lieutenant s. w Winfrees Grant won
both of the military exhibitions, for the
hedges have 10 terrors for him as is often
the case With chargers.
