HORSES PROVE
BIG MAGNET FOR
JERSEY FOLK
Large Crowd Attends Last
Session of Exhibition
at Long Branch.
NALA ONCE AGAIN
CARRIES OFF HONORS
Blacks of F. M. Warburg and
Chestnuts of A. w. Atkinson
Also Gain LaurelS.

Every one on the North Jersey shore
flocked to the closing session of the
Monmouth Horse Show Association at
Long Branch yesterday. The climax OF
the four days exhibition wa5 as great
a success as anything to be recorded IN
the earlier years of the fixture. Inc
harness championships placed Naia
once again to the fore, and IN the other
lesser divisions the honors were DIS
tributed almost equally among the
splendid blacks of F. Nj. Warburg, the
chestnuts of A. W. Atkinson and the
fine bays sent in by Emil Seelig
When the competitions narrowed
down TO the medium weight saddle
horses there was no dissenting vote
against Walter H. Hanley's bay gelding
Twilight, which is quite of the old
school. The one point in which Twi-
light scored over the Atkinson entry,
Seton Girl, was in quality and the de-
sire to make good showing
In the second division the award was
made to John A. Hartford's Gossip. The
splendid chestnut, Radiant, winner OF
two blue ribbons earlier in the snow,
was placed second. In the final between
Twilight and Gossip, the issue was
very close one. What one lacked IN
fire the other displayed in control. AT
length, after an exhaustive testing OF
their PAGES, the award was made to
Twilight.
In classes for pairs the winners were
F. NJ. Warburg's blacks, Woodland $
Emperor and Empress and William
Zegler, jr's The Pilot and The Stew
ard. The blacks of Mr.. Warburg al
ways make a distinctive appearance
The Ziegler bays were not quite SO
handy. In the class for four-in-hand
teams the same verdict was recorded:
The winning four was the first team OF
that color to win or to be shown Tor a
blue ribbon since the day that Fred
erick Gerhard had this success at the
National Horse Show Association show
of more than a decade ago.
Another class Of special interest was
a competition between tandems for the
prize offered by Fiss, Doerr e. Carroll,
a trophy that hangs over, although
each of the original donors is dead
The winners were two splendldly pal
anced hackneys owned by A. w, At
kinson Supreme POlOniou and Walton
Treasure.
This style of driving is not so com
MOI as il used to be, but factor to
make the judgments worth while was
that Charles A. Baudouin, perhaps the
best Judge of harness ponies IN the
country, handed out the ribbon.
As for perfectly matched harness
pair of the middle height hackneys, 1t
is very likely that Charles F. Coxe's
Tissington Amity and Belle Melbourne
are the best.-ef the type now in the
country.
In the competitions of the week lis
sington Amity and Belle Melbourne al
WAYS held their own. and in the special
competition TissinRton won the chief
cup. Harry Contents cup for the best
saddle horse with women up brought
out as first prize winner John A. Hart
ford's bay mare Gossip, but Harry
Balfe's Maximum, the champion OF the
Brooklyn show, was close second;
Hunter classes have never before had
such splendid entries. The fields out
in each contest were made up entirely
Of finely actioned thOroughbreds, and
with Foxey Fox and Willow King, nd
den by Miss Thompson, and the mounts
of Miss Wassermann, the scene was
suggestive of a hunt meet.
