63 Events Make Local
Horse Show the Best Ever


terday the third annual exhibition OF
the Wilmington Horse Show was ter
minated and when the judging was con
cluded last night it was tine opinion OF
all that this years show was classier
than ever. SiXty-three events were held
during the three days OF the show and
only one was withdrawn, that being
Class No. l02, pony event. The oiii-
cials of the show are elated over the
success of the affair. Only one acci-
dent occurred, that being on Thursday
when Jockey Smith was thrown from
his horse Germania.
yesterdays events were in the hunter
classes, open to winners of the present
show and all winners of previous recog
nized shows. There were two entries
in the show. These were Dreadnaught.
owned by f.. Wallis Armstrong, and
Gypsy Queen, owned by the Rose Val
ley Stock Farm, who were the supreme
winners in the hunter classes. Dread
naught in the final tests carried away
the honors and incidentally the beauti-
lul championship cup awarded. Gypsy
Queen received the reserve ribbon.
The success of the show is but a
tribute to the hard work Of the COM
mittee in charge, of which Edmund +
Moody was chairman and was assisted
by Joseph H. Hossinger and Joseph Da-
wilson, and also through the efforts OF
William u. H. Gray, ringmaster ano
bugler. Mr. Gray is bugler Tor the Ma
tional Horse Show of America and alsC
bugler for the Jockey Clubs and Hunt
