By long odds the lions share OF ap-
plause and most OF the glory which
featured the second day Of the National
Horse Show went to the ladies' hun
ters class. In groups Of three, twenty
four hunters, ridden by women, swept
about the tanbark circle in Madison
Square Garden TO cheers.
The event was distinctly novel, and.
despite the interest which was aroused
by a number Of the other classes dur
ing the afternoon and evening, nothing
could compare with the enthusiasm
which greeted Miss Ida L. Fleitmann,
who rode her Palmetto, when the
judges finally awarded her the blue
ribbon for the class
Judge Moore Wins Ribbons
Early in the afternoon Judge Will
lam H. Moore won applause as ne
drove his coach, the Rockmarge, around
the ring. 1t was a splendidly ap-
pointed equippage, the coach. with its
black body and primrose running gear,
and the horses with their deliberately
appointed harness and smart tan
trimmed collars.
The animals were Judge Moore's
famous mottled grsys. Judge Moore
was the whip. Later he took the blue
ribbon in Class 55 with his Stsnhope
phston, drawn by his two dark bays,
Micah and Bountiful.
Billy Wales whipped the twelve Bel
gian draught horses exhibited By James
Hanley, Of Providence, around the ring
again yesterday. Cheer after cheer
swept the galleries as these splendid
spirited animals, great roam fellows,
perfectly matched, swept through the
arena.
One road four may make something
Of a sensation on Fifth Avenue, where
il is now more or less Of novelty,
but it doesn't make for very keen com
petition in the show ring, so William II.
Moore had nothing 70 fear as he put
his handsome grays through their PAGES
on the tanbark.
The judge had the same team which
ne drove last year, with the exception
Of the near wheeler. A handsome gray
which answers to the name OF Tip was
put in the wheel in the place Of last
years wheeler, which since the last
show has given up his equine ghost.
Competition for Judge Moore
Every one said, isn't il pity there
is no competition" and just then two
roam noses appeared in the open door
and every one supposed that IT was
Campbell Thompson's four, which was
entered in this class.
Well, four roans appeared, and then
four more, and then four more. and II
did look as though an army OF cavalry
was advancing into the Garden. anu
then il turned out TO be Walter nan
ley's twelve roans In front OF their
proud green wagon. The four grays
quickly had the blue ribbon fastened
on the bride Of their near leader and
lefc the ring 70 the tune Of AUD
Lang SyDe- p4dEtu Ol Sut AOi H.
Thoroughbreds opened the show in
the morning, in competition for the
svlendid prizes offered by F. Ambrose
Clark for horses suitable 70 become
hunters.
The horses were not shown over the
jumps, but were judged on conforma-
ton. quality. substance, manners and
gaits. Joseph II. Collins won the huge
silver trophy and 500 cash prize with
his chestnut gelding, Cragwood.
The second prize was substantial
one, also; there was no cup, but the
cash prize was Of the same value as
that OF the blue ribbon winners.
Charles Lanier took this with his good
chestnut gelding. Lookout
Pen Jump in Afternoon
The afternoon session opened with
the pen jump. This contest is always
amusing. for il proves the trend OF the
equine mind "King Horse" as some OF
his chroniclers love 20 call him, hkes 70
get in the pen. Il looks like little
pasture 70 him. But he can see no real
good reason for getting out, so some
times he doesn't, and IL always IL d
question whether the horse that IS the
most tractable has the greatest inte!h-
gence or none at all.
Westminster Stables's Sir Thomas
gave a splendid performance, and so dad
Harry Payne Whitney's Templar, which
took the red ribbon.
Walter Hanley showed novice pair
which we're 50 good that every one
stopped talking 10 watch them. Iney
