Newport, Sept. 9.~-The nineteenth
annual horse show opened at the Casino
here to-day with some Of :he best
horses of the country entered, with
ideal weather and with an attendance
that was pleasing to the management.
This Is the first horse show here in a
long while that has not been marked
by entries from the Vanderbilt stables
The return of Judge William II. Moore,
of Pride's Crossing, after an absence
OF several years, was welcomed. His
horses were the big winners of the day
IN the principal classes, while, as usual,
Glen Riddle Farms, of Glen Riddle,
Penn, figured prominently in the
classes for hunters and jumpers. Miss
Clemence Crafts, of Ridgefeld, Conn,
was a prominent frst-day winner, and
the Arab horses of Spencer Borden, of
Fall River, made clean sweeps. Several
close contests between horses of sum
mer residents also marked the opening
day in the local classes.
The opening class Of the afternoon
brought together six horses. 1t was
the novice saddle class, and the blue
went to Mrs. Godfrey Freezes bay geld
ing Oliver Twist, from Queens, Long
Island.
Judge Moore's Horses Win.
in the novice pair class there was
large entry, and Judge Moore's horses
made their first appearance. II was
like old times to see his horses in the
ring again, and the blue went to his
pair of bay geldings, Maiden and a
horse not named.
The pony class, which followed, was
popular with the young folk, and in
this both the first and second ribbons
went to a Newport owner, Philip Cas-
we'll Mr.. Caswells little son drove
Rosedale Jack for the blue.
Spencer Borden had things his own
way in the class for Arab mares. All
three prizes went to him, he riding
Gabrielle for first honors.
There was a reversal of things in the
class for saddle horses up to carrying
200 pounds. In this class Oliver Twist,
Mrs. Freezes horse that won first in
the novice class, was not placed, the
blue going to Harry Balfe's chestnut
gelding Maximum, from Babylon.
Ten of the twelve entries in the nov
ice class for single harness horses ap-
peared. II took the judges some time
to decide. II was another Moore vic
tory.
In the novice jumper class Miss
Crafts came to the front with her bay
gelding, the Model, giving a clever ex-
hibition over the jumps.
Local Class for Pairs.
The local class for pairs of horses
brought together again the horses of
summer residents. There were only
three entrants, and the pair of II. A. C..
nj ha
stand occupants. The judges awarded
the blue to J. Stewart Barney's Stars
and Stripes.
The professional jumpers came next,
and there was a fine collection in the
ring. AS usual, the Glen Riddle Farms
sent in its best, and Bally Heather
from the farms received first. Willow
King, an old winner, ranked only fourth
in this class. Another class for Arabs,
open to stations, was shown, and the
Fall River horses made clean sweep.
There were fine entries in the next
class, that for park hacks. 1t was the
largest class of the show, fourteen
horses entering, and the competition
was exceedingly close. The judges
tried the horses out several times be-
fore they finally awarded the blue to
Mrs. George H. Chipchase, of Pride's
Crossing, with Sceptre. Mrs. Chipchase
did not drive.
Ladies' single horses, ladies to drive,
brought another close competition, and
Miss Dorothea Webb, driving Judge
Moore's Lady Seaton, won first place.
Francis G. B. Roche's horse received
second place.
The final class Of the day was for
hunters, and the first and second hon
ors went to Glen Riddle Farms, with
Bookstore, new horse here, and Will
low King.
