The finishing touches were put on the
Garden yesterday and the old building
has been transformed once more. This

Of some old English country estate with
trees, flowers. matched cottages n
vines. The transformation Is really
derful and the setting for the show Is
the most artistic yet attempted. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Il. T. Stotesbury are re-
sponsible for the picture and Charles
. , ,A.ly.l 49, thA lIAa -hl~t, 10
has been whispered, Is really Mrs.
Sto.esbury's.
One enters the Garden under arches
Of trellis covered with growing ivy. on

green trees and at Intervals around
the arena are giant white and black
Maypoles wound with C%arlands of flow
ers and gold ribbon.

Lady be shown against the ony In the
small class for the Hackney Society

that other wonderful mare Lady Seaton
In the larger Of the two classes. Charles
