Even the people haven't grown
day older, unless it is young women
like the Misses Beaver Webb, who
were then beautiful children running
around in little caps and knicker-
lockers
( We stood next to Eleonora Sears at
the rail and thought of the first time
we had seen her when she rode on the
box with Alfred G. Vanderbilt in the
four-in- hand race from Arrow Head.
She looked exactly as she does now.
and Emile Antony and II. l.. Herbert
and Morton W. Smith and Frank
Clarke and Ringmaster Allen.
We mentioned TINS to one Of the
old-tmers and he laughed. Twelve
years" he said; "why, that is nothing
at all. There is nothing like horse
shows to promote longevity. There
is H. L. Herbert, who rode in the first
show. He won with polo pony named
Fox That was in lSS3-bc. ore your
time"
"A title we recommended modesty.
Smith in First Show, Too
"And Morton W. Smith rode in the
first show, too. he won class for
children exhibitors e'ith a pony owned
by August Belmont. And John Allen,
the ringmaster. has been right there
FOR thrtyone years, so you see a rec
ord OF twelve years doesn't entitle you
to any medals at all"
When people say the horse show
isn't what 1t used to be they mean that
there is less attention paid to the
people who are here and more to the
horses. 1t wasn't so in the old days.
Why, we remember a ourno list who
became famous over night by saying
that MRS. Philip BlaHl; wore pair
of emerald earrings that made her look
: like Lenox Avenue local" Now no
one cares much what any one wears
unless it happens to be a new style
of hunting coat.
Constance Vauclain introduced
habit yesterday that is bound to give
! one pause. She rode Arbite in the
competition for the Smithtown Hunt
Club Cup wearing q tobacco brown
coat, channels skirt, chamois gloves
and brown boots. If you cared or it.
it was very fetching.
Driftwood Blaze Beaten
1t occupied our attention until an
event Of even greater importance drove
it from our mind This was the over
throw of another of last years cham
pions, Mrs Walter Hanley's Driftwood
Blaze. On Monday night he same
owners Twilight made way for his re-
serve winner OF last season to take a
blue away from him This was
Eleonora Sears's Radiant The mare
which uncrowned Driftwood Blaze yes
terday is sHelen Mollers Bit O. Glory,
the story.
Bit o Glory was shown Mt the
Mineola show last summer by Mrs. a.
/ Routiedge- Smith and she won in her
class, but no one rea lied just how
formidable she was until she came into
the ring yesterday Nriftwocd Blaze
was at his best, and it WAS not because
the judges loved him l-ss but Bit o
Glory more. Isah -lia Wanamaker
Cherrystone was third in this class,
Hugh Wilson rode five hunters ana
Gle ses to-day. Hugh used to ride here
in the Garden twenty years ago when
he weighed only about half as much as
he does now. He used to put George
Peppers horses over TIE jumps but to-
day he is manager Of Ennisc are Farms,
and it was with these entries that he
made his remarkable record yesterday.

This was announced twice during the

fault.
