'ccUth annual horse show opened on
the Fair Grounds this afternoon with
q larger entry than usual and keen
competition, which kept tn" winners of
dual blue ribbons down 20 twO. Though
the opposition in the hunters and jump
ers' classes was more formidable h
ever, it was no; sufficient to check the
winning streak which the Hitchcock
hunters have been in the habit of de-
veloping at this popular Long Island
show. Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock scors d
her first success with Surrel. which beat
a lot Of promising material in the novice
class for hunters and later carried OF
another blue with Brentwood in the
lightweight class.
Harry Bale was the other dual win
ner. and he too started with a novice
class, In which the bay gelding Broker
graduated from the maiden saddlers.

came H. the class for ladies' saddlers,
which, with well know equestritnnss In
the saddle was one Of the most attrac-
tive Of tho show Mrs. Ralph Isham
rode Maximum for MIR. Bale ia this
vent. and it was the accomplished horse
manship Of the late Mayor Gaynor's
daught that went a long way toward
occurring the blue ribbon. There were
hutuy az the ringside who preferred the
qualities Of George \. Auderson's Mac
GreEor. which was skilfully handled by
Mss Marie Louise Thompson. The
judges. however. not only recognized

The jumping classes filled particularly
well and the crowd around the ringside
was three or four deep while the inn

the fences in the class in which the COM
p%e'itors were judged on performances
only Among the nimble footed equines
We're many prize winners in national
and international shows and the blue
ribbon went to Confidence, a jumper that
is better known across the Canadian
border han hereS While owned by Sir
clifford Sifton Confidence made a high
jump record. He changed hands last
winter. when the Canadian sportsman
sold his stable I'm New York. and COM

the show ring. The jumps were high
and we'll suited to Confidence, which
has specialized over high fences and
has had the advantage Of being sChooled
recently by Dick Donnelly. Though a
, big horse he was Hike a feather when

All-a-Glow was placed second. Cavalier
took third for Mrs. Hitchcock and 81.
