the championship, and here the Judges
handed out a decision that was pug
| zling.
| Class 80 had been judged just previous
| to this, and William NJ. v. Hoffman
chestnut geiding Teneriffe. winner Of a
! hundred blues, and his new mate, Brown
! Star, were placed ahead OF Horatio N.
Bain's brown mare, Frances Balm. and
! her mate, Quartermaster Robbins. The
| class called for correct appointments, and
| wagons, harness, robes, whips, etc.
! counted 30 per cent In the standard. In
! the champion class horses only were con-
! sidered. and this may have been the rea-
son that the judges reversed their de-
/ cision and placed Mr.. Bsin's pair over
I the Hoffman chestnuts, OF II may have
been that Brown Star did not behave so
we'll In the champion class as he did In
! the previous one.
! In the champion class for single road
sters no one could understand the de-
| cision. Gail Constantine, from the stable
! OF Robert Goelet; William Hoffrnan's
| Mahion Wilkes and Teneriffe; Z. I.
| Stotesbury's Ruby and Horatio N. Bain's
| Frances Balm answered the bugle call.
| Gail Constantine can beat anything In
| the show ring on conformation and style.
but she has not yet learned just what TO

| which Joseph Gibbons has handled on the
Speedway for a couple Of seasons.
The Judges arrived at their decision by
/ the process OF elimination. First they
sent Gail from the ring, then Tenerfne,
| and finally only Mahlon Wilkes and
Ruby were left. The coveted tricolor was
! finally fastened on the bride OF Ruby,
| while Mahlon Wilkes sported the reserve.
The championship for ponies lay between
| Miss Dorothy Webb's baby mare. Sweet
Briar, and Miss Mona Dunn's Merrylegs-
at least that is what every one supposed
but as 1t turned out Merrylegs did not
even get a look in. Class l04 was judged
lust previous to the championship, ana
| this called for childrens ponies, to be
| ridden by children not more than hfteen
wears old. Some Of the ponies were I'M
ruly, and two of them managed to dump
their young riders on the tanbark. out
| fortunately no one was hurt.
| The Judges finally selected Sweet Briar'
! with Miss Ivy Madison up; Sir Gaye, rid
den by Miss Alice Besvor-Webb; Merry
legs. who was In the hands OF Miss ID.
| Clements; Harvey Ladew's Cardin, Payne
| Whitney's Carlton Quality and Mrs.
| Charles NJ. Fleischmann's Lady Idol. The
! two last named were finally eliminated. and
! this left Sweet Briar, Merrylegs, Sir Gaye
and Cardiff. Sir Gaye Us not particularly
attractive looking in a pony class at least
he is not of the type that would please
the Law mind, and the award which placed
him over little Merrylegs was not popu-
lar with the spectators. Sweet Briar won
| the blue as she well deserved to. FOR she
is an almost perfect specimen OF pony
"Jack" Bowman rode her in the cham
MON class, which was next on the pro-
rramme. II was Mr.. Bowman who said
that he believed that II Sweet Briar mad
two more inches in height she could
beat anything in the world, and there are
r,entv OF people who agree with him. The
reserve passed over Sir Gage and Merry
legs and went TO Effie, bay mare from
