Contests, Despite Wintry
Wind and Weather.

II took lot OF enthusiasm and a little
courage to Journey out to the Country club
at Lakewood Yesterday for the annual
horse show and outdoor sports. An Icy
blast that was more suggestive Of Febru-
airy than April made every one glad to
seek the shelter OF the clubhouse. ond
there they congregated a soon as the ex-
element OF tho drag hunt was over. The
getaway was made at Il o'clock from the
clubhouse. and more than a score of riders
followed the baying pack OF Monmouth
County over bounds
II was fully a half hour after the break
before the horn of the hunter was heard
on the hill and there jumping out OF the
horizon were the hounds strung out like
long comet with the riders close on their
trail Each dog wore a cravst OF brilliant
hue and each riders arm was similarly
decorated. The race was not to the swift,
but to the rider whose decoration matched
that Of the dog who was the first TO reach
the norry which was out in the centre OF
the golf links.
Patsy, a debonair hound, who wore his
red polka dotted necktie rakishly under
one ear. finished a short length ahead OF
the pack, and his ribbon was found 20
match that worn by John Washington, OF
Morocco who is the guest Of ?. 5. p. Ran

At . O'Clock the ladies' driving contest
was scheduled. and right on tho minute
good old Doboin. who has grown old in
the service, was led up. Miss Madelaine
T. Horne was the first 20 take the reins
and she made almost a clean performance,
which was no easy matter when the dis
lance between the obstacles was not much
greater than the width OF the vehicle

after making a perfect performance. Miss
Emily Randolph was second, with only
