Lady Ruth Changes Mind.
Sophomore and Red Fox. owned by
Lieutenants Wallace and Morrison, re
spectively, gave splendid accounts OF
themselves and will be in the reckon
ing when the jump-of is held this
morning. Sophomore was in an espe-
c,ally good mood and took his fences
m faultless style. Lady Ruth on tlrst
entering the ring refused 10 jump, but
later exercised the prerOgative of the
female and changed her mind. she
jumped cleverly when so minded.
Nancy Pansy, that clever little mare,
was at her best, and sailed over the
bers like a swallow.
One of the prettiest classes OF the
day was that for pairs Of saddle
horses not under 10 hands, the prop

p lady, the other by gentleman:
Walter II. Hanley's splendid pair OF
chestnut mares. Early Morn and Break
O. Day, won first honors, with The
Mink and Minstrel in second place.

stall of Talisman and DR.. Garner
owned by Mrs. y. J. Hess. King Ar
thur and Warwick were placed fourth.
The Whip, that spanking chestnut
mare Of the Broadlawn Farms. carried
off the blue ribbon in the class for
harness horses, with ladies TO drive
while Duchess, the property Of Count
B. T. $. Gregory, was second. The
counts pearl-colored derby hat scored
heavily with the spectators, Including
the ushers and the grooms. SO did his
nifty spats. He's a terror in his own
home town. the count is.
The feature of the evening session
was the appearance of the chestnut
stallion Masterpiece, by 81. Nicholas,
out Of Fayette McCord. Masterpiece

his best. and the splendid horse, q
former champion in Garden shows. de-
lighted the large crowd by the beauty
of his action end almost human intelli-
gence.
A Masterpiece at Show.
The event was billed as an exhibit
ton haute ecole, and so thoroughly did
Masterpiece understand his lesson that
every body present agreed he should be
sent TO a full-fedged university before
his next appearance. Twisting, turn
ing, tangoing and foX-trotting. and
keeping perfect time TO the music,
Masterpiece was a sight dear TO the
eyes of all lovers of the horse.
There's a real horse, with n real
tail. Isn't he beautiful" was the
comment heard on every hand as
Masterpiece swished his long, silken
tail from side to side. Never a halr
had been clipped from il, and Master
piece seemed TO glory in IT'S posses
sion.
The class for tandems, horses over
Il hands inches and not exceeding
Il hands | inch, was spiritedly con-
tested by half a dozen 6eautliully
matched pairs. Harness flashing, ears
pricked forward and hoofs beating a
staccato tune on the tanbark, the
horses caused a buzz of favorable
comment. and the decision Of the
iudges in favor of Mr.. Vau Claine's
Chestnut mares, Pandora and Princess
Sheila. met with hearty approval.
