Fixture in Saddle Glass,
After Keen Contest.

strated at the Monmouth County
Horse Show Associations perennial ex-
hibit at Long Branch yesterday when
Edward B. McLean's Nala won the $500
cup for the best gig horse. IL was the
spectacular il cident Of the afternoon,
for while only two were in the ring, the
other being F. NJ. Warburg's black
( hackney Woodlands Countess, Nals's
fame in the horse show world and the
memory of such great highsteppers as
Lord Brilliant, Hildred, Baron Brown,
Jet, Corinna and The Governor that
have won a leg on the trophy in the
past set the onlookers sgog with inter
est throughout the judging.
Nala, neatly sent along by Charles
Barrie, never went in better style and
looked as smooth as to underprops as
he ever did when a colt. This trotting
bred horse, now a veteran of twenty
years, has in his time beaten every
hackney or halfbred stopper ever shown
against him in heavy harness and has
been champion of the National Horse
Show more than once, when owned by
J. W. Hartman and with Jack Donneliy
driving. Nala, Lady Dilham and Ele-
CANT Dilham were bought by Mclean
for the reported price OF $4,000, but
for one reasol or another Nala has
been an absentee from the show ring
for his new owner until yesterday.
The victory was well merited, but
cancelled in the opinion OF the ringside
and the Mclean contingent because
Nala was placed second to A. w. At
kinson's Supreme Polonious in an ear
lier harness class. Nala is a Napoleon
of highsteppers that should be first or
nowhere, in the opinion of horsemen,
and the genera. idea that he had not
been treated fairly was supported by
the success in the later gig class. Ev-
cry one loves the under dog in a fight,
and when Nala forced the tardy recos-
milton of his undimmeL merits there
was a mighty outburst OF applause.
Another interesting victory was that
of J. Coxe's pony Pohnogut Girl under
saddle for Myron II. 0ppenheim's cup,
ridden by young Kathryn Garner West.
The pony was bred by her father. Gar
ner West. and as Amand' was champion
of her classes at the New York show
of two years ago. Then c. Flynn, OF
Fall River, bought the pony and named
her after his country place, "and II |
had known of his intention he never
would have had her" said West yester-
day. Brady has added Pohnogut Girl
to his Hamilton Farms collection Of
show nags and the victory was the first
under the new colors.
The class for hunters with women TO
ride brought out some splendid cross
country skill, the honOrs as TO the way
they sent their mounts along resting
between Miss Renee II. Wasserman and
Miss Mabel B. Thompson. The former.
in an apple green habit, had a particu-
larly fine round with Centre Rush;
Miss Thompson was cool and breezy
looking in a linen habit and rode Will
low King and Foxy Foot in dashing
style.
Ponies were seen IN harness in sew
eral classes. In one, which required
that children should drive. the winner
was Charles +. Coxe's imported Shin
field Antelope, Kathryn Garner West on
the reins, with Thomas l.. Watts Mel
Valley Cinders. little Grace Watts drlv-
ing. second. Ponies were shown in pairs
in another instance, the winners being
Coxe's Tissington Amity and Belle
Melbourne, two English hackneys that
beat out by narrow margin for nrst
honors the hackney-We ponies Sc
quence and Sequel, two roans that
were frequent winners for Miss Vau-
claim, of Philadelphia. and are now
owned by J. Coke Brady.
tanned their strength in numbers and
quality, W. II. Rhodes's Radiant gain
ing the second blue of the show in the
biggest and hardest competition. Four
in-hands, although in the ring that has
often been crowded with teams and
drags, had only two entries and seem TO
be getting into the curio division. Four
fine blacks TO black and dark blue
drag were the inner for +. VI. War
burg, with Walter Murphy, his man
ager, on the box. Although somewhat
funeral in looks, Murphy's smile as the
blue was affixed TO the bride OF his
near leader banished all thoughts OF
mutes or plumes. Jack Donnelly. on a
light green road coach drawn by four
OF Emil Seelig's che-tnuts, was the
runner-up.
