FULL OF BRILLIANCY
Picturesque Scenes in Ring at
Brooklyn Horse ShOw-Big
Trophy Won Outright.
FANTASY IS BEST AGAIN
Miss Marjorie Hubs Scores Sec
Ond Time, and Abraham
Straus Cup Is Hers.

It was military night at the Brooklyn
last night and the red and yellow trim
mings Of the uniforms of the military men
lent a pleasing contrast to the dainty cos
tunes Of the women. 1t was big night
and there was much entertaining before
and after the show.
The attractive event OF the evening was
the competition for the Abraham & Straus
cup. which Is offered for combination
horses. The contestants are shown first
in harness and then are taken out OF har
ness. saddled and ridden. This prize had
to be won twice TO become the property OF
the exhibitor. and last year it was won by
Fantasy, representing the Sequatogue
Farm Fantasy was shown last night and
was ridden by Miss Marjorie Hubbs,
daughter OF the owner. Fantasy had to
defeat fine list, among which were
Walter II. Hanley's Morning Glory. ridden
by Miss Rasmussen Miss Margaret b.
Rouss's Merry Countess and Miss Clara S.
Peck's Princess Poppy. Miss Dorothy
Hubs rode Merry Countess so there was
little family rivalry Fantasy won again
and Morning Glory was placed second.
The prize now goes to the Hubbs family.
