FAUTLESS STYLE
ChildrenWin Applause for Their
Horsemanship at the Brook
lyn Fixture.

CluD or brooklyn, opened yesterday un-
der smiling spring skies and the at
! tendance at the afternoon session was
| large. Most of the classes were for
saddle and harness horses, with two
classes for Jumpers as the feature just
before the closing hour.
In the class for saddle horses, un-
! locked. the entry was extremely rep
resentative, and the big audience ap-
peared to take delight in the beautiful
| flowing tails Of the mounts as dis
! tinguished from the smarter but less
natural locked style.
! The Minstrel, the shapely chestnut
| gelding owned by Miss Clemence Crafts
and a competitor at the Garden
/ shows, won the blue. The entrants
were judged by their quality, man.
ners, PAGES and conformation, and there
was little dissent when the judges de-
cded in favor Of Miss Crafts's horse.
The second prize went TO W. R. Goes
| chestnut mare Sonia, with Miss Ruth
! Englis's bay mare Little Fan third and
| c. Douglas Franks's Seton Girl fourth.
| In the next class for pairs of harness
horses only two pairs entered the ring,
Felix NJ. Warburg's beautifully matched
| blacks, Woodlands Emperor and Wood
lands Empress, and Miss Constance
! Vauclain's two chestnut mares, Pan
dora and Adnora, just of height and
full Of action and life.
Rarely have two more likely looking
pairs stepped on the tanbark, and when
Mr.. Warburg's pair received the blue
and pranced proudly around the arena,
the ovation from the boxes was deaf
ening. Pandora and Adnora were also
generously greeted as they trailed the
winners.
In the class for jumpers over Ave
foot jumps, Daylight did not fare so
well as over the lower hurdles. being
placed last, with II. d. Betts's great
gelding, Highlander. taking the blue
ribbon; Lieutenant Holderness's Julia
Bad Boy, the red, and Corvette, from
Squadron &C" Farm, the yellow. Gay
light did not show the same amiability
over the greater height
A popular victory was that won by
Mrs. John Gerkin on Margaret Tate, her
four-time champion chestnut mare, in
the saddle horse class. Mrs. Gerken
rode the mare perfectly and we'll
earned her triumph.
Mrs. VI. VI. Dimond achieved a clever
victory in the class for pairs of har-
ness horses, driven by ladies to phae-
4
Flash and Dash +. VI. Warburg's for
midable pair, Woodlands Emperor and
Woodlands Empress. which won vic
tory in the afternoon, were opposed to
Mrs. Dimond's pair. Miss Louise
Beaver Webb held the reins over Mr.
Warburg's entry.
The competition was keen, and finally
John l.. Bushnell and George B. Hume,
the judges, entered the phaetons and
sat beside the driver in turn. Just
after this the Warburg horses got be-
yond control of Miss Webb as she was
I making a circuit of the track, and il
was necessary for stableman to leap
to the running board and bring them
to a stop.
