Large Attendance at Both
Sessions on Last Day
Of Exhibition
Some Surprises in
Tricolor Awards
Moncrief and The Whip Win
Close Victory in Hair
ness Class

The thirty-second annual Horse
Show was held at Madison Square
Garden this year under conditions
scarcely conducive to success, but when
Il closed last night even the pessimists
were bound to admit that II had been
success from every standpoint. The
attendance last night was the largest
that has been seen there on a closing
night for several seasons.
The awarding Of She coveted tri-
coors to the champions was the feat
ure of the last nights exhibition.
Harness horses over 14.2 and not
exceeding 1872 hands were the first to
answer the call of the bugle. This
brought into competition the beautiful
home bred bay gelding Moncrief, by
Marlboro-Lively Beeswing, and Lady
Seaton, champion one hundred fold.
On Thursday Moncrief won the Waldo +
cup, but it was not generally believed
that he would beat the Lady, and Judge
Moore was holding the reins over his
old favorite, while George Chipchsse
handled Moncrief. True it is, however,
that the Lady had to abdicate in favor
Of her made-in-America stable mate.
The next champion class was for har-
ness horses exceeding 1872 hands. This
brought out Miss Constance Vauclain's
The Whip, her old-time rival Bounti-
full, from tine Moore stable: Micah,
Ruxton and Marcel. By the process
of elimination the contest narrowed to
The Whip and Bountiful, and the
judges sent the horses around the ring
again and again. When The Whip is
travelling right there isn't anything
that can beat her, so Bountiful had to
accept second honors.
Both classes for pairs went TO entries
from the stable Of Judge Moore. Lord
and Lady Seaton wrested the honors
from Whitehall Ariel and mate, and in
the smaller division and in the class
for pairs exceeding 1872 hands 3ounti-
ful and Micah were chosen in prefer
ence to Hamilton Frailty and Argo,
from the Hamilton Farms.
A number of the championship
were awarded in the afternoon, in
GLIDING those for unlocked saddle
horses over 142 hands and up TO 15.2.
and for horses exceeding 1872 hands.
In the class for smaller horses Mrs.
Walter Hanley's sensational winner.
Driftwood Blaze, beat Mrs. Robert b.
Tod's bay mare Sceptre. winner of last
years championship.
Sceptre is a nice little mare, and
Schweiger gets all there is in her
10 the front. but the consensus was
that Blaze should have won the tri
color with the bit of blue in it. His
defeat came as a big surprise TO every
one. In this competition were Minstrel
and North Man.
In the class for larger horses Mrs.
Hanley showed Twilight, which has
been winning all the week, beating
Radiant. the truly radiant chestnut
geldine owned by Miss Eleanora Sears.
Society kept up its interest in the
show right up to the last session.

I'D. Crimmins's Will
Gives Xmas Fund
Sets Aside $4,000 for Holiday
Dinner in Old Folks
Home

Old folks in the Home of the Little
Sisters of the Poor will have their
usual elaborate Christmas dinner this
year and in the years 20 come, al
though John u. Crimmins, who estab-
lished the custom nearly thirty years
ago, has passed away In his will, filed
yesterday n the Surrogates' Court,
Mr.. Crimmins set aside $4,000, the in
come of which is to be devoted 20 that
Christmas dinner.
That was one Of the numerous
comparatively small bequests to char
ity or 10 institutions, the largest be-
ing $4,000 to st. Patrick's Cathedral,
for the extension of the Cathedral
school The value of the estate is not
stated. but most Of il goes to members
IF M. Crimmins's family.
The will was executed December IA,
1915. Mr.. Crimmins bequeathed 90
Lillian Holmes Crimmins, wife of his
son. John d. Crimmins. jr., $1,000 If
at the time of my death she is living
in harmony with my said SON. In
June. 1915. Mrs. John d. Crimmins, Jr.,
obtained a divorce on the ground OF
habitual intemperanee. A similar pro
viso is attached to $1,000 bequest to
the wife Of Captain Martin l.. Grim
Minis. another son, who is now with the
American oxpeditionary forces,

tate in the hands of Morgan ]. O'Brien

Opera
John Mccormack and Miss
Ruth Miller Sing in
La Boheme'

"Puccini's "La Boheme" was the opera
last night at the Metropolitan, and
John Mccormack sang Rodolfo. This
fact was probably Of transcontinental
interest, for not even Mr.. Caruso pos
sesses the popular appeal OF the Irish
tenor. But, alas! ballad singing is not
opera, and despite Mr.. McCormack's
many virtues, it is improbable that the
lyric stage will ever claim him as its
own. His is not voice Of any great
sehsuous beauty. and il has, except in
It's middle register, a throaty quality
which Is far from pleasing. His chief
virtue last nlgn: lay in the clearness
OF his diction.
His acting was rudimentary, his sing
ing Of the Raeconto lacking in charm,
but he won the applause that Is always
his. Is he not, after all, John Meteor
mack?
There was also a new Musetta in
Miss Ruth Miller, an american girl,
whose only stage experience has been
4 season with the Aborns. In fare,
figure and charm of manner Miss Miller
was the most pleasing Musetts the
Metropolitan has seen since FRITZ
Schefr. She was exceedingly nervous, 4
fact which interfered with her tone
production in the Waltz song, but she
evidently possesses q voice, not large
in volume. but of great purity Of
timbre. With larger experience and
the assurance which comes with it, Miss
Miller ought to prove a most accept
able addition to the company.
The Mimi was Nine. Frances Aida,
who in the third act accomplished per-
haps the most beautiful singing Of her
Metropolitan career. In delcacy Of
phrasing. in legato, in smoothness of
tone, it was worthy of high praise. Mr.
De Luca sang Morallo with the effect
iveness possessed osly by master Of
bel canto.
The other parts were in competent
hands, and SignOr Papi led the orches-
ira with spirit, yet discretion. 1t
could scarcely be called brilliant per-
Torrance, but brillianey in wartime
is not to be expected. II at least gave
pleasure to a great audience, and the
singing of Nine. Aida and Mr.. De Luca
was of a high order. This was the
cast:
