Vas the thirty third horse show
onIv the second declaration Of
negotiations, so the latter event
.s.d Of sufficient interest to keep
p y.s,ybody out in the open.

tssp;ug madly in front of motor

..,I;aed with a messenger boy on a
.sse who had his head wrapped in

II this proved haven of rest.
King' scornful of Democracy
4. reporters have been reporting
, s.y since the initial show, "King
sorse reigned supreme" and in spite
I the democracy which is sweeping
No world this king has not yet been
,omueled to abdicate.
Al over the top of the Garden are
=. Stars and Stripes, with here and
.s.r groups of the Allied flags and
.v..t blazing red crosses everywhere.
Tbs far end of the Garden is draped
IN iridescent green, and two large
ysite horses hold aioft the board of
The awards.
The other end of the Garden is
banked 80 that it resembles pine
fo,sst, and in the evergreens stars
.v;nkle. 1t is one Of the most eff
f,ctiye decorations they have had.
The grooms and stablemen in charge
Of exhibits had suspended an effigy
oi the Kaiser by the neck from a rope
run from the entrance Of the Garden
10 q telegraph pole, and all of them
sorc American flags on their uni
i,rms. but there were no horns. no
,s,fetti and no crowding-not so
much Of the last named as one could
wish.
When the bugle called the horses
into the. ring after the recess every
one found more interest in the fact
that James W. Gerard was showing
Virginia Girl than they did in the
fact that there WAS some wonderful
material in the ring and that the
competition was keen.
Hurry Captures Blue
John McE. Bowman rode fine
chestnut gelding. Hurry, and captured
the blue, and Virginia Girl had to
De content with an H. c. and white
rbbon. Under the circumstances we
thought she would, at least, have
,sksa the red, white and blue.
Little Lorraine Liggett won the next
,ai and the Reggie Vanderbilt cup,
With her tiny bay mare, Fulange. Miss
Lgstt was extremely chic in blue
vsISst and chinchilla. She must be
all Of FIVE years old, which is just
the age of her steed.
Judge Moore won his first blue in
the harness class with Melancthon.
The brown mare defeated good one
called Mary Marlborough, which Miss
Eeanora R. Sears was showing, as
we'll as Molina. another of the Moore
string
Class .S6 called for novice saddle
horses exceeding 1852 hands, and each
man turned to his neighbor saying:
Now we shall see the wonderful
slOoO gray streak which Walter
hanley has been saving up for this
Glass;
So when gray gelding without any
number came into the ring everyone
thought it was Silver Birch and riv-
ssed his attention on him exclusively.
ana then there were shrugs and ex-
aamations of disappointment, dispar-
aging remarks. "Of course" said one
Old timer, "he's all right, but not such
swonder. like Artful better"
90 did we, as a matter fact, and
'snen Artful finally was sent from
me ring we ran down to find out the
,sason. And then it developed that
altiul was beautiful, but alas, ineli-
gole, and it further developed that
sae gray gelding which had COM
handed our attention all the time was
aos Walter Hanley's new wonder at
,il but Frank Donovan's Mazda. Louis
SSlsgest's nice chestnut imare, Santa
