TINS vantage point. 1t promises to be
the only part OF the building which
MIL be crowded, for ;ncrc Is no dearth
OF reporters. even though there may

means that the Horse Show isn't
fashion show at all any more. Ii is
luSt horse show. and the people who
DO go are those who know the horses
and follow them
ne program for the first day was not
calculated to attract any one BY its
spectacular features, but it was inter
csting to horsemon because it brought
out so many novices.
IN the morning only one class was
JudSed. This was for cavalry mounts
and was won by r. J. Pitcher. on the
big chestnut gelding Cecil, from the
stable OF W. II. Madison. Lewis F.
"aring presented the cup and it was
open to competition by government

TIE first class of the afternoon lasted
two hours and this threw the schedule
an hour behind. But there were sixtv-
elght horses to be tried and it was n
jumping class. though. fortunately.
nothing but performance was con-
Sioefed so there was no stopping for

third with Palmetto. She herself rode
the big chestnut, which looks to stand
seventeen hands and which is really
just shade under that. Miss Flei

marvelously poised she is,
Novice Saddle Class
Class $50 was for novice saddle horses
over l4.2 and not exceeding 1872 hands.
Oi course, being novice means only
th2t they have not won at the national
or International show, so it meant
much OF a surprise when Joseph Muir
phys Red Cedar walked away with the
blue. Red Cedar is an extremely
snowy chestnut gelding, brought out
by Walter Hanley recently He has
tour white stockings. which are marked
OF uniformly on his bright chestnut
legs. The center of his face is white
and 1t IS as evenly done as though the

John Crozer's bay mare Elelia and the
worthy Checkmatc from Frederick

Just as the cup presented by John
Bowman was being carried out Of the
ring BY the diminutive bay mare Little
Fire Lady, from the BroadaWn Stables,
the slx-horse gun teams came into the
ring. These were horses in groups of
SIN. fastened TO strange vehicles which
looked like two dfasnioned sulkies
held together with long rods. There
was no demonstration Of how they
work, but every one knows who has
ever seen a Pathe weekly. Each pair
OF horses had rider in uniform. max

cock horse, only he was in front instead
Of back, as with the fourth hands
Some Of the vehicles were olive draD

Won another blue in the open class for
pairs over l4.2 hands. II was a fore

IN the class, and yet those who studied
the entrants knew that Mrs. Joseph Syl-

giving them good run for their money.
