MISS BEARD WINS
FAVOR IN THE RING
But Godfrey Preece, on Tony,
Captures Blue in the Heavy
weight Polo Mounts.

The twenty-third annual Brooklyn
Horse Shcw opened at the Riding and
Driving Club. OF Brooklyn, last night
with n record entry of sos horses and
nine more classes than ever before.
The opening session was given over
to maiden harness and saddle horses,
polo mounts, harness and saddle horses,
tandems and jumpers, and the quality
was fully up TO the standard OF previ-
Gus years.
One of the features of the evening
was the appearance in the ring of Miss
Marjorie Beard. daughter of William
Beard, of Brooklyn, in the class for
heavyweight polo mounts. Miss Beard,
in full polo costume of white helmet,
riding breeches and leggings, with a
lavendar colorcd silkcn shirt, had the
mount on Major General G. Cochran's
bay gelding. Paddy.
1t required several minutes of seri-
Gus consideration before the judges de-
Cidcd in favor of Godfrey Freezes
handsome roam gelding, Tony, ridden
by the owner. for the blue. Richard j.
Kiely's Pollyanna was second and
Miss Boards mount third.
Performance counted 10 per cent. in
this class and conformation rs, and
Miss Beard. although on an inferior
animal, handled Paddy with such grace
and skill as to make the choice a diff
fcult task for the judges. She made
a picturesque figure as she dashed up
and down the arena, and was loudly
applauGed.
John Bushnell, George r. Hume and
G.. Jason Waters, the judges IN the
class for harness horses, TO be shown
TO a lady's phaeton, came in for much
criticism because of their awards in
this class. There were only three con-
tenders Felix VI. Warburg's Wood
lands Empress. Miss Constance Nau-
claims The Whip, and George p. Fin
Iegan's Lord Wilton.
After the horses had been put
through their PAGES the judges placed
The Whip first. Woodlands Empress ;
second and Lord Wilton third The first !
two horses are widely known through
their many victories in the show ring
and their owners are prominent in the
harness horse world.
Il was near midnight before the last !
class was Judged, but the onlookers
remained TO the end and everybody /
seemed satisfied that the show this
year would top all previous affairs Of
the kind. There will be both afternoon
and evening sessions to-day and to-
morrow
