L. M. NEWGASS TAKES TWO

1alr crowd turned out Tor the judging, and
the quality of the animals that were nut
in the lists was far superior to that OF
other years, so that the day was well
worth while. Practically every champion
that has appeared during the summer In
the metropolitan district as least. was
entered and the judges had a hard time
in making their selections.
There was a deal of satisfaction among
the exhibitors over the award of the
championship ribbons, for the big prizes
of the day were so well distributed that
only in two of the seven classes did one
stable acquire blues. l.. NJ. Newgass was
the fortunate one and he scored his
double triumph with the brown geldlng
Cambridge King and the black gelding

for horses over l4.2 hands and not exceed
ing 1872 hands.
The fact that the show was held as
part of the annual Westchester County

Of the season.
One OF the most popular victories OF the
afternoon was that OF David Dowss brown
geldng Butwell. ;n the champion hunters
class. The BOWS family has been promi-
nent among the residents Of Westchester
County for years. and Butwell. which isa
sixteen-year-old gelding, has become well
known TO Westchester folk. In one OF the
preliminary classes he had TO lower his

One OF the most interesting features OF
the afternoons doings was an exhibition

forty, went through a drill that brought
out no mean skill in horsemanship. Fol-
