Gate" to-day at the Plainfeld horse show.
II was in the class for tandems that Nala
met his Waterloo, and, to make the defeat
more crushing. there were only two other
entries in the class. Net that Nala was in
any way to blame. He was as perfect as
ever, and that is just a little more perfect
than any other horse that ever stepped in
the ring. The fault was with the wheeler.
Belleville. but. as is ever the case the in

Beleville IS not "a thing of beauty" al
any time, and he suffers In comparison with
that superb piece of horsehesh. Nala. II.

Mrs J. J. O'Donohue rode all Of the rib
bon winners IN the class for ladies' hunt
ers. which was something Of novelty
even for the inimitable horsewoman. Again
and again Mrs. O'Donohue came into the
ring. sending her mounts over the fences
In a mastery fashion. which brought
rounds of applause from the spectators.
Mrs. O'Donohue's first mount was EN-
barta. from the stable of s. Bryce Wing.
and with him she won the blue. When the
final inspection the plucky rider was loaded
with ribbons Of all colors-blue, red, yell
low and white-besides two prizes. Charles
Tleischmann added so to the usual go
prize. so the first prize in the ladies hunt
ers' class was a substantial one.
Miss Pyne had three mounts in this class.
Vanity and Myopia and Jerry NJ. from the
Little Farm

was picked TO wear the red; the yellow
went 70 Energy, the old favorite that had
won so many blues for his former owner,
Richard Delafeld.
All sorts Of surprises were I'm store for
the saddle horse devOtees. IN class "a.
where Geo.g Won KarlowsN rode GeorC
G. Rohlig's Avoca 10 victory. the former
champion, Kildare. had to be content with
a yellow ribbon. The conditions called for
weight carriers and Watchfurs long suit is
substance. He carried away second honors,
having only to concede defeat to the power
ful Avoca.
Devotees OF the light harness horse would
have liked to see more than one class de-
voted to the roadsters. hut what they lacked
in quantity was made up in quality. There
was W. NJ V. Hofmans wonderful chest
nut, Teneriffe. winner Of innumerablc blues
on track and in snow ring; G. w Nc
Cutchens bay geldng, Willie Direct: Ed
ward Kearney, jr.'s Princess Morrel which
took the judges by storm a few seasons
ago. and II. l. Pierce's Lozano. The horses
finished in the order named. +. r. Bonnie
was the Judge.
Nala showed what he could do in the ex-
hibition Of single harness horses over l52
hands. Here he met the old favorite, Royal
Victoria. from the stable of Emil Seelg;
Royal Victor and Prince Grayling The
real competition was between the three
last named. for the mare came in for sec
ond honors; third and an II. G. going TO
Royal Victor and the Prince.
II any one had told the horse show
deyotecs that Sonia could WIN white
RIBBON no one would have believed It. They
saw It done, however in the ladies' class,
which brought out RCsabel, Watchful, At
teEtion ana Aristocrat The horses were
IN the ring half-hOUr, and Sonia was
evidently tired Of IL all. Her manners were
not of the best, but, on the other hand,
each Of the other entries was ridden by ali
expert and ii would have taken an expert
70 show them as they were shown. Mrs.
". A. McGibbOn was up on RoSabel, which
seemed TO resent her bit; Miss Van NycH
managed Natchful as only she knows how;
Mrs. J. J. O'DOnOhue rode Attention, when
really put UP a good performance and WAS
placed ahead OF the beautiful wilful Sonia.
Rosabel was finally picked TO wear the
blue, WatChful came I'm for second honors,
and Sonia, which was ably handled by her
owner, Mrs. II. l. Camp, wore the WAite
rosette from the ring.
Miss Miriam Hartman won pretty class
With Lady Dilham and Elegant Diham.
The conditions did not call for women
drivers but Jack Donnelly handed the
rens over 10 Miss Miriam. and surely he
never handled the wonderful little pair
more cleverly himself
Mrs Brown Rolston was another woman
VINO won an interesting class. II was TOT
sporting tandems. where the leader IS "
hunter, and 10 prove his right TO the utie
be Is unhltched and sent over the jumps.
Mrs Rolston drove Crusher In front OF tue
gray geldng lronton. and Crusher was on
his good behavior. He defeated All Alone
and All Around, a good looking pair CT
grays from the Graystone Farm.
