country are here, whereas, heretofore.
there would be two or three really good
stables that would take most of the
prizes. There Is very little, II any, dan
ger of this happening this year.
Philadelphia and New York vie.
There were sixteen cIases on yester-
days progam about evenly divided be-
| tween the hunters, harness and saddle
horses. In the harness events Judge Will
liam II. Moore, of New York, took two
blues and one second, but was crowded
constantly by Miss Constance VaucIain,
OF Philadelphia. The keenest rivalry ex-
lists between these two stables, and while
in the past the Judge has been q very
consistent winner in the harness events,
1t Is stated that he will be pressed harder
than ever before by the horses In Miss
Vauclain's stable.
The feature of the day was the saddle
pony class, for children under Is years
OF age, won by Miss Martha Lamar Ellis,
beautiful little girl. years old. who
rode an equally pretty pony, right
named Beauty Spot. for It was not much
larger than a spot. While there were
nine entries in this event, there was no
doubt that the little girl. with her blond
curls sticking out from beneath her rid
ing cap, on the frisky little cream-colored
pony, would easily take first prize, and
As she rode around the arena she re-
cetved round after round Of applause
from the boxes and stands. The prize
was a cup presented by William Eric
| Fowler. After receiving the cup the
little girl made the pony dance as the
band played.
In the harness events, the ladies' phae-
ton class proved by far the most inter-
esting, all Of the entries being driven by
women. This event proved a surprise
by Miss Constance Vauclain, driving The
/ Whip, taking first prize over Judge Will
liam II. Moore's horse. Bountiful. driven
by Mrs. Billy Hit, formerly Katherine
EIkins
Ideal Matthias, owned by A. w. Atkin-
son, and driven by Miss B. Webb, took
! the third prize in this event. The winner
in this class also received a handsome
silver cup presented by the New Willard
Hotel.

The military hunting class, open to Of
ficers of the regular military establish
ments was won by Victor, owned by Lieut..
Col Fenton, while Staunton, with Capt.
H. N. Cootes, was second. This event

Of the U. s. A, who was one of the in
terested spectators at yesterdays show.
W. P. Hubert took the blue ribbon in
the lightweight polo pony class with his
Rondo, while Winnie, owned by w. H
Guleck. was second and Shampoo third
In the green hunter class, Aldershot
proved TO be best in taking the hurdles
over q field of some 81 thoroughbred.
