The feature Of the closing OF the horse
show at the Durland Academy las; night
WAS the competition for the cup presented
bv The New York Tribune for park fours
There were five entries. but only three
teams answered the bugle call. They
we're four blacks from the stable OF ieiix
NJ. Warburg, four bays owned by Emil
seelis and a team Of browns owned by
Louis Newgass Morris Hewlett drove
the last named four, Walter Kelly hand
Ing the blacks and Jack Kehoe the bays.
N the conditions had called for road
fours the Seellg team or the Newgass
team probably would have won the blue,
but II seemed as though their horses
were p trihe too substantial and not
quite snowy enough for a park four Mt
Warburs's four were perfectly matched.
had plenty OF style and not a little
speed. and they were the popular choice
with the spectators.
The Tribune cup was an enormous sn-
yer trophy standing nearly three feet
high. and Mr. Kelly had ali he could do
10 balance IL and manage his horses as ne
drove around the ring amid the applause
% the spectators Louis Newgass
browns were second and the Seelig team
third j. Campbell Thompson did not
show.
The Judging Of the champions occupied
the latter part OF the evening. In the class
which called for unlocked horses 10 hands

essary 10 call in William McGibbon 10 de-
eide the class. and when Mr.. McGibbon
could not do so a champion ribbon was
handed TO each Of the contestants. They
were Mrs. John Gerken's chestnut mare

handed out These were the only entries.
although all ribbon winners were eligible
10 compete.
There were four entries in the champion
class which called for locked tails, but
there was little doubt as TO the outcome.
Miss Margaret Weyher rode Mrs. J. B.
Rovica's chestnut gelding Supreme. which
was practically invincible all the week.
He defeated DR.. L. ] Ladinski's bay
marc Ny FREELY. which was placed re-
serve.
There was an innovation in the cham
pion classes. which was a boon 10 the
spectators II was the idea OF Quincy
Cue, who always has contended that there
should be some way Of identifying the
competitors in the champion classes. The
idea was to number the entrants from ]
up 10 90 which included the four ribbon
winners in each Of the five classes. The
winner of each class carried the lowest
number.
II all shows would adopt this method Of
Identification ii would prove TO be ex-
iremely popular.
The Prince Henry cup, presented BY
.. J. GUIDE and Marshall Clapp. for the
high jump, was won by George Chip
chase's indefatigable bay geding Sapoho.
IL was necessary for Sapolio to jump 6
feet inches TO win from Ballyhooley'
