Lord and Lady Seaton Win
the Blue Over Traugelt
and Taugelt.

Decisions in the ring scanned to be quite
at variance with those expressed by the
railbirds in many OF the classes. at the
continuation Of the Brooklyn Horse Show
last night There could be no two opinions
about the superiority OF William h.
Moore's Lord and Lady Seaton In the open
ing class Of the evening, which was for
pairs over 151 hands Robinhood and
Burgomaster were not shown. and this left
the red for Philip IAvingston's Traugelt
and Taugelt, which have won so many
blues in the hands Of Mrs. c. w. Watson
in days gone by.
In the exhibition of heavyweight saddle
horses George Ballen's DR.. Hickey, chest
nut thoroughbred with q well developed
neck. carried away the blue.
Tonzo Sauvage's Grand Duke and Little
Prince made their appearance In the run
about class. The time has been when II
was hard TO choose between the two speedy
highsteppers but Little Prince Is not wear
ing well. and 1t looked as though his blue
was received more for his past perform
ances than for anything he did IN the ring
last night Eugene Won Bach drove good
one from the stable Of Emil Seelig. lie
was called Nonchaance, and he seemed to
fill every requirement OF a runaboua horse.
He has extreme speed, good action and per-
feet manners Grand Duke was chosen TO
wear the yellow ribbon. Louis Haight
drove the winner and the exhibition finally
resolved itself into q race between Little
Prince and Nonchalance. As the light
wagons swung around the turns on two
wheels an upset seemed imminent. but to
a.. NJ gneptatOTg both entries
remained right side up, more by good luck
than good management
One Of the interesting features Of the
evening was the exhibition OF military
MOUNTS: in fact, 1t was called military
evening owing to the fact that a new class
was introduced for officers chargers. This
was an exhibition OF model military mounts
to be shown in hand by enlisted men in
uniform and TO be judged for their adapta-
bilty for use in the army.
The fact that more than dozen horses
answered the bugle call in the exhibition Of
military mounts may have accounted for
the length OF time which Major Milton F.
Davis and Captain L. Andrews took to
fudge them. The horses were in the ring
more than an hour.
IL Watchful had remained the property OF
Myron II. Opperhem he would have car
ried away the Abraham Straus challenge
cup in the combination class last night.
The conditions state that the trophy must
be won twice by the same owner, but not
necessarily by the same horse. and Watch
full is now the property of Louis New
gass The big wall-eyed bay gelding has
always been a prime favorite with the
Judges. particularly in the combination
class. and he held his laurels intact against
all invaders. His opponents numbered some
