nice and he possessed charm in abun-
dance. No wonder every one loves
himi
We couldn't help thinking as we saw
him walk in how much more important
one feels at being seen with the Prince
than in being the Prince. The Prince
of Wales was the most unassuming
person in the Garden. When he en-
tered the box with his attendants every
one stood up and the Prince continued
to stand until finally every one began
to whisper, "Why doesn't he sit down ?"
Avoids Draped Chair
In the center of the box were two
chairs with high backs, draped with
red velvet, but no one wants to feel
as though he were sitting on a throne
when he is at horse show, so it
wasn't surprising that the Prince pre-
though to tell the truth they are not
very comfortable.
The imposing looking red velvet
chairs were relegated to the back
ground, and an English woman stand
! ing beside US said:
"How like him. He wants to sit
on chair like the rest of US are using"
But he didn't stay in the box long
only long enough for every one III
the Garden to crowd down in front Of
the box and stare at him. We couldn't
help feeling that he must be amused
by 1T all, but maybe after one has been
a prince for so many years it doesn't
strike him that way.
1t was while the hunters were in the
ring at 3, so that the prince went down
into the judges stand. He seemed
totally unaware of the fact that thou
sands of eyes were noting his every
move and watched the horses taking
the fences with keen interest. Indian
Arrow, another Of the Ennisclaro
EARNS entries, won the class, and still
another of the string, Cragwood, was
second. The prince never took his eyes
from the horses while he was in the
ring, and he told Mr.. Fairbairn that he
would like to stay for the rest of the
day.
Schedule Is Advanced
Everyone supposed that on account
of the visit Of the prince the schedule
would not be observed, but, on the con-
trary, the classes were called little
ahead of time. There was a surprise
in Class 115 when Eleancra Sears's
chestnut gelding, Radiant, failed to

In view of the fact that it was
Hackney Day at the Garden, the Mont
pelier Challenge Cup was competed
for. This was presented by William
du Pont Tor the best hackney Jap and

fourteen classes of hackneys Hackney
horse enthusiasts--you might cal
them fans-were elated over the high
quality of the American bred hackncys
IN general, and especially those from
the Seaton Hackney Farm. owned by
William H. Moore, and from Reginald
Vanderbilts Sandy Point farm at New
port.
Bountiful, who won for hackney
mares for Judge Moore, is his well
known winner in harness horse classes
The first championship of the week
was for hackney pony mares, and was
won by Judge Moore's three-year-old
brown mare, Seaton Barbara, bred at
his Seaton Hackney Farm. His two
year old flly Seaton Victoria was
! placed reserve.
Judging the hackney stations was
one of the most interesting classes OF
the morning. They were shown on
long white leads with a groom at the
other end trying to keep up with his
horse. They certainly have wonderful
knee action--that is the hackneys have
though some of the grooms found il
necessary to display considerable
agility if they wished to remain in ar
upright position. Irvington Autocrat,
a 13:2-hand bay, four years old, bred
by. w. D. Henry. Of Pennsylvania, and
exhibited by j. Macy Willetts, won the
Judge Moore's home e-bred four-year-
old, Seaton Saxon, won the larger
division.
Robert Graham, Of Toronto, and c.
r. Curtis split hairs so often and were
so conscientious in giving each entry
special attention that there was no
noon recess. The classes were in the
ring until LAO and some of the at
tendants grumbled: "They're irving
" Keep thelr norses IN the ring until
the prince gets here"
Flying Mercury Wins Jump
The Grafton broad jump is one of
the most interesting competitions Of
the show. 1t used to be the broad
water jump. but now that water is
used for drinking they have substi-
tuted cardboard boxes that look like
hat boxes. There is a small hedge and
then the attendants spread out twelve
square. feet OF cardboard, over which
the horses are supposed to jump With.

Colonel Herbert C. Cox had two en-
tries, Cragwood and MewDurn. Lieu
tenant Colonel Jack Clifford had
