That the horse show has lost none
of its old-time popularity was clearly
indicated last night at the horse show
of the Orange Riding Academy, in the
Halsted street building, East Orange,
where a decade ago society Was wont
to gather each year for the brilliant
competitions. True, the horse lovers
motored to the big structure in mod
ern automobiles, but within the tan
bark ring full measure of homage was
paid to the erstwhlle king OF the road.
That the old time groups Of drivers
are no longer In evidence was plain
to be seen, however, and the men,
women and children who directed the
movements of their spirited steeds,
with a number of notable exceptions.
did not seem to get out of the horses
the dash, vim and style that marked
the EVENTS of a year ago. But there
was a goodly array of individuals
who showed their mastery of the
game of riding and driving, notably
Peter Hauck, jr., chairman OF the
horse show committee, and his chill
dren. The large list of entries by the
well-known East Orange M kept
him and his retinue quite busy, and

boys and girls, all of whom were
very much at home in the saddle and
with the reins. Miss Lowell, who
drove f. S. Pages high school horse
Golden Buck, in an exhibition, also
gave a fine display of her eques-
trian powers. Later she drove a pair
of ponies in tandem that was a juve-
nile delight. Ernest Hopkinson and
u. +. Lawton also gave some skilful
display of good horsemanship, as
well as others in the big enclosure.
Audience Approves Awards.
The big audience was keeniy inter-
ested and generous In applause, and
their hand-clapping seemed to ap-
prove generally the awards of the
judges. The large classes frequently
occasfoned considerable examination
of the merits of the respective en-
trants, and groups here and there
about the ring showed Their prefer :
ences as favorites went by.
The crowd was in cheerful good
hurnor, but the one person who
seemed to have the hugest measure
of delight was little Cynthia Gran
berry, the daughter of DR.. Stephen
W. Cranberry, of Orange. whose
happy laugh rang clearly across the
ring as exciting incidents caused her

split into two sections, the ten-year-
old youngsters and older ones having
a separate competition. Elizabeth
Hauck with Polly Prirn won the COW

and Katherine Hauck, her sister, won
the prize with Old Sport, pretty
brown horse. for the smaller chill
dren.
The open class for saddle hacks
proved a difficult one to judge and
the big field of thirty animals was
soon cut down to seven, the luckless
ones going to the gate in sections.
