HUNTERS LEAD
WAY IN ENTRIES
FOR HORSE SHOW
Canada Alone Will Be
Represented by Fifty
Horses of This Type

For the first time in the history OF
the National Horse Show Association
hunters and jumpers this year outnum-
Der all other equine types in the list
of entries for the annual exhibition
at Madison Square Garden, which IS
to open on Saturday of next week
continuing until November II.
Nearly 1900 nominations, represent
ing horses valued at something like
100000, have been received for the
coming show, and of these AS are IN
the twenty-eight classes for hunters
and jumpers. One of the open jump
ing competitions has sixty-one entries
which tops the record for this year
show.
Canada will send fully fifty hunters
and jumpers to the Garden this year,
much TO the surprise of the show on
Gals, who thought the war in Europe
was monopolizing the attention OF the
Dominion horsemen. Sir Adam Beck
of London, Ontario, who has been ex-
hibting at the Garden for twenty-five
years or more; Major Kilgout and
Thomas A. Crow, of Toronto, are
among the leading Canadian exhibitors.
Women will be more prominent than
ever in the jumping classes, one OF
which calls for women to ride thor
ough bred hunters over fences four feet
high. This class is distinct innova-
ton, women never having ridden thor
oughb rods over the jumps at the Gar
den before.
There are twelve entries, and among
those who will ride are little Miss
Becky Lanier. the ten-year-old daugh-
ter of Charles d. Lanier; Miss Ivy
Madison, a Greenwich. Conn, school
girl, who rode three ribbon winners
in one class at the Westchester County
Horse Show few weeks ago; Miss
Lita L. Fleitman; Mrs. Philip Clark,
Of Newport; Miss Constance Vauclaln,
of Philadelphia: Miss Vira Cornell and
Miss Marie Louise Thompson. The
prize is a cup offered by |. J. r. Muir
ling. treasurer of the United Hunts
Racing Association.
All through the show the feminine
exhibitors are going to play leading
part In many classes they are in the
majority. For example. one of the
competitions for saddle horses has thir-
teen women among the twenty-six own
ers. In another saddle class eight out

Two hundred and thirty-fve saddle
horses are entered. besides large
number of saddle ponies. nominated
chiefly by children. As many as thirty
saddle horses are eligible to compete
in one class. aond in several classes
the entrants number twenty or more.
The growing fashion of long-talled sad
die horses of the thoroughbred type is
reflected by a large number OF entries
in classes exclusively for them.
