NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-My word!
Quite a leaf from dear oil Lunnon,
this years horse show, what?
silk toppers that came from no
where but Piccadilly; hunting suits
Just out of an English lane; the
dark. serviceable, expensive looking
clothes one jolly well associates with
their majesties. one may say so,
you know!
And a bit of the same bally fog
drifting into Madison Garden from
the ran spoiled this third day Of tho
. show for entertainment distinctively
american.
1t was a pity about the rain, for
such as visited the Garden with ex-
pectations of enjoying new and
beautiful raiment found nothing but
y appointment. No more than q
Salf dozen, distinctive creations were
On display in the afternoon though
scenic effects picked up in the even
ing.
Scarlet Duvetyn Dress.
One of the half dozen was a scar
let colored dress of duvetyn, made
simply with a blouse slightly pouched
and trimmed with bands of grey Per-
sian lamb. A hat of the fur was
worn with il.
Another striking costume was
fashioned with a plated skirt of
gray crepe de chine and q blouse OF
chinchilla- The wide hat to match
was trimmed with gray ostrich.
Other costumes ran largely to
dark suits, supplemented by gor-
geous sables. The fashionable mink
dolman repeated itself continuously.
as did wraps of seal. mole and squir-
rel. Few serge dresses were worn
under these. Popular fancy appar-
emily has turned to satin and crepe.
Though many gowns and suits of
velvet were seen.
Black Velvet Toque.
In the direct center of the space
behind the judges station was a dis
tinctive little toque of black velvet
IL was trimmed with an outstanding
spray OF paradise about the size Of
a pullman whisk broom.
But il feminine wearing apparel
did not come up to expectations. the
Performance OF King Horse did. Ex-
auisite creature he Is with his pa
tricianly slender ankles and HIS
arched neck. No satin product of
the modiste's are shines like his coat
ug gray or amber. Never did dancer
more lightly spurn her floor than he
the tan-bark with his twinkling
feet.
One of the kings went down to
defeat today after a long, glorious
reign And while the victor is
worthy of his conquest there were
thos who saw real tragedy in the
defeat.
1t was the feature of the after
noon the contest between Chestnut
Blossom and the little Fire Lady,
both hackney ponies.
Owner of Chestnut Blossom.
Chestnut Blossom is owned by
Mrs. Frank P. Garvan, wife OF
United States District Attorney
Garyan. He has been shown all
over the country during the past
two years, and there never has been
question about his being first place.
But the little Fire Lady. who
came out Of the s. S. Vauclain sta
BILE at Rosemont, Pa, to go on ex-
hibition for the first time today,
was judged the better horse.
Those who saw tragedy in Chest
nut Blossoms defeat declared the
little bay mare, the victor, won be-
cause love spurred her to achieve
ment.
1t was because, they said. little
Miss Hattie Vauclain, 12-year-old
daughter of little Fire Lady's

animal was apparent even to the
highest and farthest corners Of the
Garden, rode the winner. Chestnut
Blossom was left to the impersonal
