What with the kissing Of the judges for
the decision which gave a blue ribbon TO
judge william II. Moore's Meneila and
PHYLLIS i'm preference to Lady D!lham
and Elegant Dnham, the railbrds had an
exciting day Of it at the horse show IN
Madison Square Garden yesterday. The
award was far from popular. and the
spectators did not hesitate to express
their opinions in no uncertain manner.
A demonstration the like Of which has
rarely been seen in the staid old Garden
marked the decision Of the judges in th'
class which called for pairs over 49, and
not exceeding ISL hands. A long suffering
public stood up and demanded recogni-
tlon-not that Il received Il, but there Is
"a great deal Of satisfaction In expressing
an opinion even II il does not carry
weight.
The difference Of opinion came over
L. W Harriman's brown mare Lady
DiHaIn and her brother. Elegant Dilham,
which Jack Donnelly showed, and Judge
William II. Moores Mcnella and Phyllis
SUrerb is the only word which htt!ngly
describes Mr.. Hartmann mare, and AeF
brother is good enough TO beat almost
ANYTHING Of his size. They appeared al
their best Yesterday. If Lady Dilham
lacked anything IN conformation or Size
she made up for il in style and presence.
AZ one old ho.semau expressed il, There
is about as much comparison between
the two as between a Fifth avenue beauty
and New England schoolma am"
Again and again the judges sent the
two pairs around the ring, but Lady OIL
ham refused to DO anything wrong ana
her little brother followed her example.
When the Judges finally called the horses
into the centre Of the ring It seemed
forcgonc conclusion that the blue would
20 10 Mr.. Harriman's pair When, how
ever. Mr.. Moore was called up and the
bIue rosette was fastened on the bride
of AIeuella the GREATNESS Stiffness was
broleD only by some pronounced Kisses.
II is useless 10 deny the fact that there
has beru considerable dissatisfaction IN
regard to the judging since the opening
day Of the show, but II Is unusual Tor the
ooIookers to express themselves so forci-
lI,. cs they did yesterday. One man may
Ia biassed a half dozen men may be
biassed: but when two thousand persons

ton.
