WARBURG'S BLACKS
WIN SPECTATORS
Mrs. Preston Davies, Astride her
Chestnut Gelding Maximum,
Rides to Victory.

Tho feature Of the closing session OF
the charity horse show at Durlands
Riding Academy last night was the
remarkable demonstration by the spec
tators in galleries and boxes whea the
Judges announced their awards in the
class for park fours.
Emil Seeligs four, Felix NJ. War
burg's splendid blacks, led by the OFT,
winning Woodlands Emperor and
Woodlands Empress, and George X.
Finngan's four were the only entries,
and when the judges pinned the blue
ribbon on the Seelig chestnuts and
gave the red TO Mr.. Warburg's four,
the crowd rose and Numbered its APP
plause for the horses receiving second
place.
Every time Walter Kelly, driving the
Warburg coach, drove around the
arena tho same applause greeted the
perfectly matched horses, and the
crowd, while 1t did not show its dis
pleasure in any other manner, gave
ample evidence that its sympathy and
Judgment we're In favor of Emperor,
Empress and their wheelmates.
Rarely has such q demonstration oc-
Cured in a New York horse show,
and Kelly drove about the tanbark a
dozen times, his face covered with
smiles, although he had not won the
blue ribbon.
The Wsrburg four showed perfectly,
were at all times under perfect control.
and their gait was faultless, whereas
Mr.. Seelig's horses often broke or got
out of step and never went so smooth
ly as the horses they defeated.
The same feeling was displayed by
the spectators in the class of single
horses, suitable for a lady's pheton,
when Mr.. Selig's brown gelding, Flash
light, driven by Miss Van Wyck. was
placed first over Woodlands Empress,
beautifully piloted by Miss Louise
Beaver Webb. Although not so out
spoken on this occasion, the demon
stration again indicated that the judges
and the critics in gallery and boxes
were not of the same opinion.
o. J. Guide won THE New YORK
Herald" championship cup for locked
saddle horses with his handsome chest
nut gelding, Tommy Dodd. When the
doors 10 the arena were thrown open
only Tommy Dodd entered, and the
other eligibles for this class either
feared to try the issue with Mr.. Guides
entry, or were saving themselves for
future engagements.
When the championship blue. red
and yellow rosette was pinned to
Tommy Dodd's halter and he pranced
around the arena proudly, the specta-
tors accorded him a royal welcome.
Mrs. Preston Davies, astride her
beautifully proportioned chestnut geld
ing, Maximum, the champion at Brook
lyn last week, rode her mount TO a
splendid victory in the class for un-
locked saddle horses Is hands and
over, for the Herald championship cup.
Horse and rider made an attractive
picture as they cantered, walked and
trotted before the judges, and there
was n roar of cheers as the blue went
