County Horse Show, at Hollywood Park,
Long Branch, yesterday afternoon.
Novice classes were the feature Of the
day and there were enough genuine
novices. not the redocked and doctored
spectators. The horses had to divide the
hcnors. however. with the moving pict-
IRE cameras. Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt.
who entertained a merry party in Box
I2. Mr.. Vanderbilt, who made his initial
appearance as judge since his return
from Europe. and various startling cos
tunes which were calculated to draw the
birds from the exhibition in the show
ring.
To return 10 the novices, Jack MCDon-
aid brought out an unusually good one
IN the saddle class for horses l43 hands
and over. She was a chestnut mare called
Sheia. six years old. from the stable
Of Miss Claribel Jefferson. and it was said
to be positively her first appearance. "
Sheila was purchased from George Wal
len recently. and although she appeared
10 be a little headstrong, is beautiful
and impressive mare and Mr.. Mcdonald
managed her perfectly.
Mrs. Clark showed a bay gelding called
Sis Evelyn from the stable OF Walter
H. Hanley. and carried off the red rib
bon in the face of Morning Glory and
Mrs. Charles VI. Allaire's chestnut geld

Princess Sheilagh, another handsome
chestnut mare, was the winner in the
novice collection Of harness horses. She
is owned by Miss Anne Nauclain and
was handled by Miss Constance Nau-
claim The Princess is a beautiful dark
chestnut. she has good gaits and good
manners and ought 10 win in a much
more formidable collection than the one
she found herself in yesterday. Emil
Seelig's chestnut gelding Flash was sec
ond choice merely because there was
nothing left 10 place in front of him.
Novice pairs had four entrants. which
was a most satisfactory arrangement
as there We're four ribbons. Baron and
Sultan, a brown pair from the seelig
stable. made a favorable impression on
the spectators as well as the judges, and
were first choice. Louis Newgass' S
Storm King and Cambridge King sized
up pretty we'll with the winners, and II
seemed 10 be a toss-up for a time as 10
which pair would carry away the blue.
John Bushnell's Governor and Cen
eral and John Doyles Gibraltar and
Clifford Morgan completed an unusually
good lot of novices
Ponies under saddle opened the show,
and here Miss Anne Vauclain's little
chestnut mare Vanity had 20 compete
with Sweet Briar, from the Sweet Briar
farm Miss Dorothy Webb owns both
pop' and farm, the farm being named
after the pony and not the reverse, as
is customary.
Sweet Briar is the little mare which
created such a furor when Louis New
gass attempted TO show her in the reg
ular saddle class instead Of the pony
class. last season. A protest was made
as the complainant said that Sweet

The beautiful little mare went back in
the pony division and has been winning
laurels there ever since. She had 10
abdicate in favor of Vanity yesterday,
although the score was so even that the
blue might have gone 10 either COM
petitor without being very far out Of
the way
The winner in the next class, which
was for saddle horses over 142 and not
exceeding 15 hands. was Glittering Glory;
in spite Of her scintillating name. how
ever. she did not shine with any particu-
lar brilliance and every one was sur
prised 10 see her defeat Mrs. Thomas j.
Regans old favorite. Mobile. and Louis
Newgas's Cinderella.
Miss Constance Vauclain managed the
winner in class %. which called for har-
ness ponies over 1872 and not exceeding
l42 hands. This was the little roam mare
Sequel. Sequel is the mate 10 Sequence,
and while the latter is handsome mare,
she is quite put in the shade by her
Snowy companion Both little roans ap-
peared in the class. the blue going TO Sc
quel and the red 10 Sequence. Mrs. Wal

the yellow going 10 Edward King S
Rockmeadow Crescent.
Branded hacks had SIX entrants, three
Of which were from the stable Of Fred
Mitch. Miss Margaret Mylier showed
Charles Holloways chestnut gelding Ca
rey. and she looked so attractive In her
short brown coat and soft white felt nat
that every one would have been satisfied
10 have seen her carry away first honors.
The hard hearted judges, however. oe-
cided in favor of Percy Drury and his
Gold Dust
The ladies' saddle class, which was re-
stricted 10 residents of Monmouth County
gave every one q chance TO say once
more. What can the judges see in Sefton
Girl?" Even the most optimistic could
not say that the chestnut mare is
beauty. and yet she continues 10 win all
along the circuit Perhaps the fact that
she was handled by Miss Belle Beach had
something 10 do with It, for Miss Beach
can bring all OF horses good points be-
fore the Judges as few riders can.
Margaret Weyler rode Daniel Guggen-
helms Divinity and Mrs. Jessie Won Klein
handled Myron II. Oppenheim's Fairy
Queen, and II looked as though either OF
these entrants might have claimed the
blue Mrs. Charles NJ. Alaire rode her
chestnut geIding Champ Clark. but
white was ell the judges had to offer.
The attendance was away above the
average for an opening day and there
