Horse Show Judges Displease
Exhibitors and RailbirdS
Proud Prince Gets Blue Over
Nickel Plate, to Surprise
of the Crowd.

Unfortunately the criticism OF the
Judges and general dissatisfaction with
tho awards. which are 20 often part OF
the Horse Show. are now in full swing
at Madison Square Garden. on the open
ing day OF the show there was a well
grounded rumor that number OF the
exhibitors in the saddle classes intended
TO withdraw their entries on account or
the unpopularity OF the judges's decision;
however all. with the exception or MIS-
James y. Mckay. were on hand to try
their luck again yesterday
Mrs. Mckay withdrew her chestnut
mare Lady Debonair, and II IS rumored
that the Indignant young woman re-
marked that she would not show again
until she could have a relative In the
coterle Of judges. az one Of the exhibitors

bay gelding Supplement to wear the blue.
When Commandant Feline. who. with II.
Lawrence Smith. oiiiciated. In the saddle
classes, slgnihed his intention OF trying
out Supplement, every one believed that
they were going 10 have a chance 10 see
the French officer ride side saddle,
To their evident disappointment. how
before Judge Feline essayed to mount
him. Evidently Supplement was quite
satisfactory. for he was first choice, with
Oaklelgh Thornes Shortstreet In second
place.
Sir Evelyn the hero OF a hundred
battles had the unusual experience OF
leaving the ring with a yellow ribbon on
his bride and Mrs. John Gerken's lot
was an H. c., which she took with Mar
garet Tate.
Another decision which brought eX-
carnations OF surprise from all parts Of
the Garden was when Harry GrahGm's
black hunter. Proud Prince. took the blue
ribbon In the class for women's saddle
horses over lj.2 hands. Proud Prince was
remembered by many Of the spectators
as having distinguished himself few
seasons ago when he was shown In the
hunters class, He nearly killed his rider.
and gave an exhibition which never will
be forgotten.
Mrs. J. j. O'Donohue rode him yester-
day. but even In her clever hands he
seemed TO be getting ahead OF himself.
so to speak. when he was asked TO trot.
After the blue ribbon was fastened on
his bride he refused to circle the ring,
and Mrs. O'Donohue was forced to take
him from the ring. This was I'm class
where manners were half the battle.
Miss Hopeton ID. Atterbury rode Nickel
Plate, and, as far as could be grasped
by the lay mind, he was as good as he
was last year, when he went from novice
TO champion. Miss Atterbury Is one OF
the best sportswomen in the country, and
never has been known to question a dec-
sion In the show ring. but 1t Is said that
she expressed herself rather forcibly in
regard to the red ribbon which was her
lot In this class. Miss Ellen Rasmussen
rode Sir Evelyn, and drew another yellow
ribbon, the white going to Miss Ida
Fleitmann, on Grey Plover
